Donald Trump And Son Eric Apparently Look To Check Wives' Polls As They Vote

Trump And His Son Both Seemed To Check Their Wives Weren't Voting The Wrong Way

Donald Trump and his son Eric Trump have been photographed apparently trying to sneak a peek of how their wives were voting the right way.

Trump and Melania went to cast their ballots at a Manhattan school, their local polling station, on Tuesday morning.

CNN filmed the moment the Republican candidate appeared to look over to see how his wife was doing in her booth.

Twitter relished the photos, with one Tweeter calling Eric Trump “an insecure manchild”

It’s important to note we don’t know for sure why father and son felt the need to look over as their wives voted.

But Twitter pretty fell about laughing.

With speculation Trump was trying to copy Melania’s answer...

Or he was shocked she had voted for an independent candidate instead...

Or speculating that someone may call the police on Trump.
