Eric Trump compared his family’s assets to Leonardo da Vinci’s renowned “Mona Lisa” painting hanging in The Louvre in Paris, which prompted widespread backlash on social media.
During a discussion about the ongoing civil fraud trial in New York on Fox News, former President Donald Trump‘s son, Eric Trump, bombastically declared that “Our assets are worth a fortune, they’re the Mona Lisas of the real estate world.”
New York Attorney General Letitia James has accused Donald Trump and his company of routinely inflating their assets for financial gain, with Judge Arthur Engoron already ruling that they committed fraud for years. The trial’s focus includes six other allegations, including insurance fraud.
Critics on X, formerly Twitter, mockingly fired back at Eric’s statement, with some pointing out that the “Mona Lisa” is also smaller and over-hyped, comparing it to Trump’s properties.
Eric Trump calls Trump real estate holdings the “Mona Lisas” of the real estate world.
This is roughly analogous to comparing a Gremlin with missing hubcaps to a Bugatti. @Acyn

The debt service on Trump properties must make them the most highly leveraged Mona Lisa properties around.
