Eric Trump reveals his girl advice for brother Barron – as he opens up about ‘smart’ teen sibling

Eric Trump has revealed his advice for ‘the world’s most famous bachelor’ – his younger brother Barron – as the teenager heads off to university.

The 40-year-old ex-president’s son told the Daily Mail that life was easier for himself and his brother Don Jr., 46, when they were at the same stage – many years before their father’s successful presidential campaign took the world by storm. surprised in 2016. .

Trump’s youngest son Barron, 18, has become the subject of public fascination, largely because Donald and Melania have managed to shield him from the intense spotlight.

Eric said, “My advice to Barron is that you are the most watched person, probably the most watched bachelor in the world right now. I was really lucky, when I was single we had a lot of attention, but not quite the attention he will get – especially if we win in 12 days.

“Be careful, be careful,” Eric said, smiling. “There are a lot of eyes on you.”

He seriously added that the youngest Trump child is an asset to his father.

‘He’s a great kid. He’s a smart boy. He behaves very, very well. He has been raised well and a great future awaits him.”

Eric also talked about how the teen had taken an interest in the campaign and helped Donald Trump reach younger voters by appearing on podcasts.

“He’s done a great job of promoting some youth podcasts – and I’ve been getting rid of podcasts altogether because I think traditional media is dying around the world.”

Eric spoke to the Daily Mail on Thursday in a wide-ranging interview in which he discussed the assassination attempts on his father, the election campaign, Prince Harry, golf and the biased mainstream media.

He also discussed his affection for his brothers and sisters, Don Jr., and sister Ivanka, 42, of Donald’s first marriage to Ivana; his younger sister Tiffany, 31, from his father’s marriage to Marla Maples, and 18-year-old brother Barron, from the 45th president’s current marriage to Melania.

It’s a complicated family dynamic, and when you throw in the business empire and the White House, potentially explosive.

But there was no sign of any fighting at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, shortly after the first assassination attempt, when the entire family — including the grandchildren — took the stage for the traditional balloon drop, accompanied by a rendition of Nessun Dorma.

Eric says, “It’s kind of remarkable that the five of us, the five kids, are so close and go out there and fight. And they have failed to divide us – and they have tried. They tried in every possible way to make it so miserable and uncomfortable.

“They didn’t succeed.”

Eric Trump, who runs the family’s business empire, the Trump Organization, spoke to the Daily Mail at his office in Palm Beach, Florida on Thursday in a scene-setting interview ahead of what he believes will be an Election Day victory.

In addition to his five children, Donald Trump is the grandfather of 10, including Eric’s son Luke and daughter Carolina, whom he shares with his wife Lara, chairman of the Republican National Committee.

On the shelves of Eric’s office, surrounding the MAGA caps and Trump wine bottles, are photos of Donald Trump with his grandchildren.

Eric credited his father’s “tough and strong” personality with helping keep the family together, and also described a softer side to the 78-year-old.

“My daughter will jump in his golf cart, he’ll be playing, and she’ll have a big Pokemon doll or teddy bear and he’ll be driving around, the speakers will be blaring because he likes to listen to music when he plays, he’s running around the golf course and drinking Diet Coke, probably on the phone with a world leader and she’s in his arms.

‘It’s really nice to see; it is a side of Donald Trump that many people sometimes cannot believe. It doesn’t really exist and it’s not one of the things we really project.”

“He’s running around the golf course drinking Diet Coke, probably on the phone with a world leader and she’s in his arms,” Eric says of his father’s relationship with his daughter Carolina. Donald Trump took the young girl on stage during his September 21 rally in Wilmington, North Carolina

Eric is optimistic about the elections.

In recent days, Kamala Harris’ rhetoric has become increasingly extreme as her rival leads in the polls. Major betting markets offer odds on Donald Trump that imply a 60 percent chance of victory.

“It’ll be close,” Eric admitted.

But the tight margins that complicated the 2020 outcome and prompted accusations from Donald Trump and his eldest sons that Democrats rigged the election are not at the forefront of Eric’s mind as he witnesses huge lines outside rallies by the whole country. .

“As a family we always say, ‘too big to tamper,’ and that’s our intention and hopefully that’s what these huge lines mean,” Eric said.
