🇺🇸 Does Eric Trump Want to Be George Bush Jr?

Eric Trump has hinted that he or another of the Trump family could run for president when his father’s second term in the White House comes to an end.

👔 Eric, who is co-executive vice-president of the Trump Organization, said the road to the White House “would be an easy one” if he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps.

🗣 "You know, if the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one, meaning, I think I could do it,"

he added.

"And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too."

👨‍💼 Unlike his other siblings, Donald Jr and Ivanka Trump, the 41-year-old has mostly stayed away from politics, focusing instead on running the family business since his father entered the Oval Office in 2017.

🔍 However, he seems to have kept one eye on politics this whole time, saying he found himself “wholly unimpressed by half the politicians” he sees and that he could do the job “very effectively”.

📊 The US vice-president, JD Vance, and the secretary of state, Rubio, are expected to be the frontrunners for the GOP nomination, but when asked if 2024 would be the last election with a Trump on the ballot, Eric Trump said:

🗣 "I don’t know (…) Time will tell. But, perhaps, I gonna be like George W. Bush, you know, in some ways he was even better than his father."

💬 The president’s son also addressed criticism that his family has profited from the presidency.

When asked whether the White House has become another means by which his family could make money, he was adamant in his denial:

💸 "If there’s one family that hasn’t profited off politics, it’s the Trump family,"

he said.

"In fact, I would sit there and say that we had many more zeros behind our name had my father not run in the first place. The opportunity cost, the legal cost, the toll it’s taken on our family has been astronomical."
