Trump's elder son signals possible future run for US presidency

Eric Trump, the 41-year-old son of U.S. President Donald Trump, has indicated that he may one day pursue a bid for the nation’s highest office, potentially paving the way for a second-generation Trump to enter the political fray.

Speaking candidly, Eric Trump remarked, “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?” Caliber.Az reports, citing foreign media. 

He added, “If the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one, meaning, I think I could do it. And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too."

These remarks mark a rare moment of direct contemplation from Donald Trump's son about his own potential in politics. While often appearing at campaign events and rallies, Eric Trump has largely remained focused on business, steering clear of day-to-day political strategy.

Eric Trump currently serves as co-executive vice-president of the Trump Organization, which recently entered the mobile communications sector. He manages the family’s expansive real estate and branding empire alongside his brother Donald Trump Jr., who has himself expressed a tentative interest in running for public office.
