Eric Trump hints at future Trump dynasty in politics, defends family business ties

NEW YORK (Realist English). Eric Trump has suggested the Trump family could return to electoral politics after his father’s presidency, describing the potential path as “an easy one” — though he expressed uncertainty about subjecting loved ones to the “brutality” of the political system.

Speaking to the Financial Times, the 41-year-old co-executive vice-president of the Trump Organization said, “If the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one… And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too.”

Eric Trump, who has historically kept a lower political profile than his siblings Donald Jr. and Ivanka, insisted he remains unimpressed by many politicians. “I could do it very effectively,” he said, while hinting at ongoing uncertainty: “Who knows” when asked about a Trump on future ballots.

His comments come as the Trump family faces scrutiny over business dealings during and after Donald Trump’s presidency. Eric defended the family’s record, arguing critics had overlooked the “astronomical” costs and legal battles faced by the Trumps.

“If there’s one family that hasn’t profited off politics, it’s the Trump family,” he claimed. “We would have had many more zeros behind our name had my father not run in the first place.”

The Trump Organization and family members are appealing a New York court decision that ordered hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties over alleged fraudulent financial reporting.

Crypto pivot and global expansion

Eric Trump detailed the family’s recent embrace of cryptocurrency, including the launch of his own mining company, American Bitcoin, and expansion of Trump family investments into digital assets and tokens.

“I’d love to see some of the big banks go extinct,” he said at a recent crypto conference, calling bitcoin “better than gold.”

Meanwhile, Eric continues to negotiate real estate deals worldwide. Despite pledges not to pursue new foreign ventures during Donald Trump’s presidency, the family has pushed ahead with plans in India, receiving a $10 million development fee from a group linked to billionaire Mukesh Ambani. Eric said he is targeting major Indian cities and would expand into Israel and China “if the geopolitical climate were right.”

“My father has nothing to do with companies,” he insisted. “I run great hotels around the world. It’s what I’ve done my entire life.”

Eric Trump’s remarks reveal a family balancing business expansion, political calculations, and mounting legal battles — while laying the groundwork for a potential Trump dynasty in U.S. politics. Whether or not the Trumps return to the ballot, they are clearly not retreating from the spotlight.
