Forty-one-year-old has stayed away from politics, but says ‘political path would be an easy one’ if he chose to pursue it

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.

In an interview with the Financial Times, he said: “The real question is: ‘Do you want to drag other members of your family into it?… Would I want my kids to live the same experience over the last decade that I’ve lived?

“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.”

    The latest conspiracy theory is about voting machines getting reprogrammed through their uninterruptable power supplies on a national scale because one of the main UPS vendors was bought out by a Trumpy company. That’s simply not how these devices work.

    Now, I can believe there may have been isolated shenanigans that need to be investigated, but I have a simpler explanation for all that: most Americans are sexist, but are smart enough to not admit it publically. Fewer votes were recorded for Harris than we expected because many people said they would vote for her, but didn’t. (And yes, I meant most Americans.)
