If Donald Trump doesn’t make an attempt to buck the Constitution and run for president once again in 2028, which he has hinted at, his middle son, Eric, has indicated he might like to take his turn in the Oval Office.
According to a report from Newsweek’s Theo Burman, Eric made rumblings about jumping from the Trump family business into a run, likely against a handful of Republicans seeking the MAGA crown and what comes with it.
The report notes that Eric Trump spoke with Nikkei Asia on Sunday during an overseas trip where he is promoting cryptocurrency, when talk turned to a Trump “dynasty.”
According to Newsweek's Burman, Eric Trump stated, "I'm not ruling it out. I'm not saying no, but I'm also not saying yes."
In July, Eric Trump boasted about his executive abilities in an interview with the Financial Times as he attacked DC lawmakers and stated he was “wholly unimpressed by half the politicians I see . . . I could do it very effectively.”
At that time he added, “Would I want my kids to live the same experience over the last decade that I’ve lived? You know, if the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one, meaning, I think I could do it. And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too.”
