Although he has flirted with the idea of pursuing a third term in their presidency, the US Constitution explicitly prohibits it. So it does not seem likely that his 79 -year -old tenant will be able to bypass the law in this case, it seems that his family is thinking of continuing his course. Last weekend, his son, Eric, explained that he was interested in politics in an interview with the British Financial Times, which was entitled: “Eric Trump opens the door to a political dynasty”.
“I think the political path would be easy, that is, I could do it,” he says in the interview. “And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it.”
Eric is the third child from Donald Trump’s first marriage. He was born when Trump was a famous New York real estate tycoon before becoming a star and long before he was leading the US. Considering this experience, Eric confessed in an interview to the FT that if something keeps him from moving to the White House, he is his children, since he is not sure if it would be fair to go through what he has endured for the last 10 years, since his father announced his father.
The rest of the potential successors
However, the news that 41 -year -old Eric would not exclude the highest American post has surprised many, as he recently seemed that only Donald Junior or perhaps Eric’s wife, Lara, was seriously thinking of pursuing Trump.
47 -year -old Don Junior, a former fiancé at the Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Gilfail, has been heavily involved in his father’s political mechanism, actively contributing to his election campaigns, and is a prominent personality of the Maga movement. He presents a podcast and writes a newsletter commenting on political news from Washington.
Don Junior played a decisive role in promoting his friend Jay Di Vance, as a candidate vice president in the last election and during a recent visit to Qatar, when asked, if he would think of replacing his father, his older son. There is this call. “
Lara Trump had expressed interest in becoming a senator, but she eventually became a presenter at Fox News. Eric, on the other hand, looked focused on the management of the family business. That is why it is struck by the fact that Trump Organization’s co -chair is now openly flirting with the idea of pursuing politics.
The one who seemed to follow more than all in her father’s footsteps was Ivanka Trump, 43, who served as a consultant at the White House during Trump’s first presidential term and had a prominent role in the then government (2017-2021), along with her husband, Jarrend Kourend. But both are absent from the present government, with Ivanka stating that she is no longer interested in political career.
Previous father – son
Whatever the case, any Trump child finally chooses to claim his father’s position will face a difficult course to reach the White House, as already, many prominent Republicans are alleged to be interested in the 2028 anointing – including Vice President Vance. But this would not be unprecedented: in the US history, there were two presidential “dynasties” of a son.
The most recent is that of the two George Bush, who ruled from 1989 to 1993 and from 2001 to 2009, respectively. This family history also includes a failed attempt by the younger brother, Jeb Bush, who served as Governor of Florida and nominated the 2016 Republican qualifiers in 2016, which Trump eventually won. Before them, there were John Adams (1797–1801), who was the second president of the US, and his son John Quincy Adams (1825–1829), who was the sixth.
