Eric Trump, the 40-year-old son of former President Donald Trump and executive of the Trump Organization, recently shared his father's vision for a potential second term in office.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, he dismissed the idea of his father seeking revenge against political adversaries, instead focusing on the pursuit of a prosperous and safe world.
"He would want nothing to do with prosecuting Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton, he doesn't give a damn. He wants these games to end," Eric Trump stated. "He wants a safe prosperous world and a fruitful society. He wants to get back to a country that is actually functional that wins on everything we do. He wants to win on education, safety, economy, military - he doesn't want to go into senseless wars. He wants the respect of the entire world."
According to the Daily Mail, Eric Trump also discussed his father's determination to uncover the truth behind the two assassination attempts that nearly claimed his life. The Trump family and a significant portion of the American public remain skeptical about the FBI's efforts to solve these near-death incidents.
The first attempt occurred at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, and the second at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on September 5. Eric Trump suggested the possibility of a foreign power or the so-called Deep State being involved. "I hate to say that because I'm as far away from a conspiracy theorist as humanly possible. But they've done everything they can to try to take my father out over the last 10 years," he said.
Eric Trump, who has been subpoenaed 111 times, views the legal challenges faced by him and his father as a political witch hunt. He cited the "Russia hoax" propagated by Hillary Clinton's campaign, the FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, and the ex-president's ban from Facebook and Twitter as part of a campaign to "destroy" Donald Trump.
Despite the assassination attempts, Donald Trump has maintained his sense of humor. Eric Trump revealed that his father has temporarily given up golf due to the incident at his Florida golf course. "He's not playing any golf right now. Every time he does, they shoot at him!" he joked.
Eric Trump also spoke about his father's appeal to voters, attributing it to his authenticity and his status as an outsider to the Washington DC "swamp". He praised the fervor of MAGA supporters, stating, "They want our country back, they want safety for the world, they want freedom of religion, they want the government to stop meddling with their kids. They think it's wrong that six foot five men should be swimming in women's sports. It's insane."
The Trump family remains close-knit despite the pressures of political life. Eric Trump attributes his father's "tough and strong" personality with keeping the family together and also describes a softer side to the 78-year-old. He also expressed his affection for his siblings, Don Jr., Ivanka, Tiffany, and Barron.
On the topic of the upcoming election, Eric Trump is optimistic. He believes the election will hinge on two issues: the border crisis and the surge in inflation. "We've had 20 million people come into this country from around the world, we don't even know who these people are and they do not have American interests at heart," he said of the immigration crisis. Regarding the economy, he stated, "America has become almost unaffordable. Everything's too expensive."
While acknowledging that the election will be close, Eric Trump remains hopeful, citing the massive lines at his father's rallies as a positive sign. "We always say as a family, 'too big to rig', and that's our intention and hopefully that's what these massive lines signify," he concluded.
