It’s an emotional day for lots of people for lots of different reasons. And two people really feeling it today were two of the former so-called president’s sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.

So much so that the pair appeared to be moved to tears as their father took his final bows in office today.

I clearly remember Jr gleefully telling their supporters “let’s make liberals cry again” …..😂😂😂karma is so sweet

Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump were seen crying earlier today. You'd cry too if you got caught committing crimes for your President father and he didn't even pardon you because he was afraid that if he did you'd end up testifying against him at his criminal trial.
