Eric Trump on Hurricane Helene, Open Border, VP Debate, and More
October 4, 2024
During an insightful conversation with Joe Pags, Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and son of former President Donald Trump, shared his concerns about the current administration’s handling of various crises, from Hurricane Helene to the ongoing border issues.
Eric Trump is no stranger to discussing the challenges facing America. Having overseen a global business empire alongside his brother Donald Trump Jr., Eric has been a vocal advocate for conservative values and policies that prioritize America’s interests. His background, managing real estate and international business, brings a unique perspective to national and global concerns, especially when it comes to comparing leadership styles.
In the interview, Eric was quick to criticize how the Biden-Harris administration has responded to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. He expressed his frustration that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden seemed disengaged while Americans were suffering, contrasting this with his father’s approach during similar crises. Trump pointed out, “We’re giving $200 billion for [Ukraine] but yet we're giving $750 to an American family who lost their hopes and dreams and everything. It’s infuriating.”
The conversation then shifted to the ongoing border crisis, with Eric emphasizing the significant resources being allocated to illegal immigrants compared to struggling Americans. He discussed how border security under the current administration has deteriorated and linked this to other social issues, including job losses, overwhelmed schools, and rising housing costs. He remarked that illegal immigrants are "taking our housing, they're taking our education, you know, they're depressing jobs in this country." And compares that to "Kamala coming out and saying yes we need to give them all free healthcare."
Eric also touched on the Vice Presidential debate, stating that JD Vance’s performance was a major win for conservatives, criticizing the misinformation that he believes was spread by the opposing side.
Finally, Trump addressed larger global issues, such as the situation in the Middle East and China’s growing influence. He noted that China, along with other geopolitical players, poses a significant threat to the U.S., and stressed the importance of his father's America-first policies.
Eric’s call to action was clear: Americans need to vote early and in large numbers to ensure a better future for the country. “Make it too big to rig,” he said, urging Americans to take their civic duty seriously.
