Eric Trump has been trolled on Twitter after sharing a photo of Ghislaine Maxwell at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding with the caption: ‘Birds of a feather.’
The tweet was an apparent attempt by the president’s son to smear the Clintons for their connection to Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged ‘pimp’ who was arrested and charged by the FBI earlier on Thursday.
The now-infamous photo shows Maxwell, 58, among a sea of guests at Chelsea’s wedding in upstate New York in 2010, as former president Bill Clinton walks his daughter down the aisle.
The tweet, however, blew up in Eric’s face, as users were quick to reply with photos of his own father rubbing elbows with Epstein and Maxwell over the years.

Twitter users immediately replied with photos of Trump posing alongside billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged ‘pimp’ Ghislaine Maxwell, over the years
In most of the pictures, which were taken in the early 2000s, the president is seen posing with the pair alongside wife Melania at various events.
‘Does the president’s son not know that there are photos of Donald Trump with Maxwell?’ MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin replied.
‘You really are the dumb one, aren’t you?’ said another of the president’s thirdborn.
Others replied with pictures of Trump and Epstein and completing the popular phrase tweeted out by Eric, adding: ‘flock together.’
‘Are you sure you wanna go down this road?’ another user quipped.
Eric, 36, did not immediately respond to any of the replies.
Maxwell was arrested in Bradford, New Hampshire on Thursday morning, months after she disappeared from the public eye following Epstein’s 2019 arrest.
The British socialite is facing a string of criminal charges for allegedly procuring underage girls for billionaire pedophile Epstein between 1994 and 1997.
Eric, the president’s third-born child, was quickly made aware his tweet had been ill-conceived
Trump had been photographed alongside Maxwell at various events in the early 2000s
Epstein, who killed himself in prison last July, was known to have a powerful network of contacts and friends, many of whom were millionaires, businessmen and politicians.
He had been photographed with Prince Andrew over the years and was said to have a close ties with Bill and Hillary Clinton.
The disgraced financier became friends with Trump after meeting at his Mar-a-Lago club in the 90s, but the two eventually ‘fell out’ years later, according to the president.
