- Eric Trump emphasized that the family has spent nearly $500 million defending itself against political attacks and maintains it is one that has not profited from politics, while his siblings remain engaged in various political and media roles.
- In the interview, Eric Trump stated, "I could do it very effectively," adding, "The question is, do you want to do it?" and asked if he would want his children to endure similar experiences.
- This openness to public service suggests the Trump family may continue its political involvement, but Eric’s reservations highlight the personal costs and challenges that could affect future participation.
