Eric Trump has promoted Dubai’s new Trump Tower, featuring hotels, apartments and “the tallest swimming pool in the world.”
President Donald Trump’s mid-school son joined in years of family practices with family politics in an interview that could mark the beginning of a new dynasty.
“The real question is, ‘Would you like to drag other members of your family into it?” Eric Trump told the Financial Times. “Would you like your kids to experience the same thing over the last decade I lived in? If the answer is yes, I think the political path is an easy path. So I think I can do that.”
“If the answer is yes, I think the political path is an easy path. So I think I can do that,” he added. “And by the way, I think other members of our family can do that too.”
Eric Trump, 41, is now co-vice president of Trump’s organization, a vast private real estate company that launched its mobile cell service in June. He runs the business with his younger brother Donald Trump Jr.
While 47-year-old Donald Trump Jr. has been at the forefront of his father’s political operations for many years, his support is coveted by conservative candidates, Eric Trump, who was married to former RNC co-chair Lara Trump, has eschewed little political contest by comparison, focusing most of his energy on the business side.
Donald Trump has been a rumored candidate for decades
The two brothers, who have abandoned the idea of following in their father’s footsteps, are familiar territory for families that date back decades.
Donald Trump’s name was first kicked as a presidential candidate ahead of the 1988 election, with the help of a New Hampshire-based woodworker and political activist named Mike Dundal, who started the “Draft Trump” movement because he wasn’t satisfied with his Republican candidate.
A few years later, Donald Trump first established the Exploration Committee as a Democrat, and later founded under the Reform Party’s banner as a potential candidate in the 2000 election. He retreated nine days before the contest.
