Donald Trump's son Eric says his dad has a 'better life not in politics'

Eric Trump has said "being president is that last thing that Donald Trump needs" as he discussed his father's race for the 2024 elections.

Joe Biden is widely expected to come up against Trump in the November election in what would be a rematch of the 2020 election.


Speaking to Nigel Farage on GBN America, Eric Trump said: "The last job in the world Donald Trump needs is the presidency of the United States. Trust me.

"He could be playing golf, hanging out with his grandchildren every day. Trust me, he can be living a much better life than getting indicted for nonsense because they want to weaponize the entire system.

"Every single one of us. We get subpoenaed every day. We get this.

"We get that we take arrows every single day. My father would live a substantially better life not doing this, very different from the other candidates who this makes them live a better life.

"​Donald Trump's better life is not in politics, and he does it every single day because he loves it. He loves his country, he loves the Western world.

"He believes in it. And he believes that if we falter, this lobe has real problems. I give him a tremendous amount of credit. He's a brave man who is shouldered more than any person in the world should ever have to.

"He has done it All for democracy and freedom and our way of life." Eric also took a swipe at Trump's most likely contender Joe Biden claiming he is "not up" to the presidency.

He said: "Biden is a very weak president. Clearly not physically up to the job or mentally up to the job. If you can't walk up the stairs to Air Force One, if you can't walk across the room, if you can't get off the stage.

"I don't mean to disparage because that's not my style. But that's a rigorous job I saw my father go through it every single day.

"It's the toughest job in the world. I mean these are real decisions every second of every single day. Real leadership.

"I just don't think he has a stamina. My father was a great cheerleader for the United States of America. We're the best country."

He added: "We don't have a cheerleader under this president. And that's sad because it creates a global void.

"America is the epitome of power and might and keeps so many seams together and all of a sudden you start seeing weakness coming from one person and those fissures start to crack.

"And you see instances like what we're seeing in Israel. The sad thing about the Israel conflict is that if that happened under Donald Trump, he would have been thrown out of office."
