Eric Trump Hints at White House Run After Donald Trump's Term Ends
Washington D.C., June 28, 2025 — Eric Trump, the son of U.S. President Donald Trump and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, has hinted at a potential run for the presidency once his father’s current term concludes. In a candid interview with the Financial Times, Eric said a political future is “an easy one” for him to imagine, though he remains conflicted about the personal cost.

“The real question is whether you want to drag your family into this,” Eric said, referring to the scrutiny and “brutality” the Trump family has faced during two terms in the White House.
Though Eric Trump has largely stayed focused on the family business since 2017, his comments mark a significant shift. Unlike his siblings Donald Jr. and Ivanka — both of whom have flirted with politics more publicly — Eric has maintained a lower political profile. Still, he hinted that multiple Trump family members could be contenders for future elections.

“Other members of our family could do it too… Time will tell,” he added. “There are more people than just me.”
While 2028 Republican frontrunners like Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio continue to dominate speculation, Eric’s remarks have reignited talk of a possible Trump dynasty extending beyond his father’s presidency. Betting markets currently place Donald Trump Jr. at 12/1 odds for a 2028 run.
Eric Trump was also quick to deny claims that his family benefited financially from political power.
“If there’s one family that hasn’t profited off politics, it’s the Trump family,” he insisted.
He said the family had sacrificed “many more zeros” financially, citing an estimated $500 million in legal fees and lost business due to investigations, including what he called the “Russia hoaxes.” That claim contrasts with multiple reports indicating that Donald Trump earned over $630 million in 2024 alone through cryptocurrency deals, branded merchandise, real estate, and a soaring stake in Trump Media, valued at over $2 billion.
Eric maintains that the Trump Organization is valued between $8 and $12 billion, but says it’s the “astronomical personal toll” of public life — not finances — that remains the biggest obstacle.
