Eric Trump has been labeled "delusional" after he said May 30 "might be remembered as the day Donald J. Trump won the 2024 Presidential Election."

The second eldest son exited a New York court alongside his convicted father on Thursday.

While Donald gave a shellshocked speech outside, Eric chose to break his silence on social media, making the comment on X.

Users were quick to rip apart Trump Jr.

One said: "You truly are delusional!". Another wrote: "Justice. MATTERS."

Model Jules Morgan said in response: "Your convicted felon daddy will never be the President of the United States."

Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial. A jury decided after just over nine hours of deliberations.

This makes him the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes.

He was found to have falsified business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to an adult film actress who said the two had sex.

The jurors — a diverse cross-section of Manhattan residents and professional backgrounds — often appeared riveted by testimony in the trial, including from Cohen and Daniels.

Many took notes and watched intently as witnesses answered questions from Manhattan prosecutors and Trump’s lawyers.

Trump will be sentenced on July 11.

DON'T MISS:

Speaking outside the court, Trump Sr. vowed to fight on and branded the trial "rigged."

He also claimed he's "a very innocent man."

The 77-year-old Republican said: "I'm a very innocent man...This was a rigged, disgraceful trial...This was done by the Biden administration in order to hurt a political opponent. It's a disgrace, and we'll keep fighting. Our country has gone to hell. We're a nation in decline.

"This was a rigged decision right from day one, with a conflicted judge who should never have been allowed to judge this case...The real verdict is in November."
