In an exclusive interview with the Washington Examiner, Eric Trump gave a sneak peek into his father’s, former President Donald Trump’s, game plan for addressing the three-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Eric, who is currently rallying support for his dad in Iowa, didn’t hold back in sharing what the former president intends to bring up. He made it crystal clear that they’re itching to talk about what they perceive as a “two-tiered system of justice.”
Pouncing on President Joe Biden’s decision to emphasize the significance of democracy on the anniversary, Eric Trump didn’t mince words when he dismissed the notion that voters – especially those in the midst of primary and general elections – would be sympathetic to that argument. “I’m not convinced people are buying into that talking point, especially considering what the Left has been getting away with,” he stated adamantly.

Not one to shy away from controversy, Eric Trump pointed fingers at former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Governor Ron DeSantis. He didn’t hold back in expressing his skepticism about Haley’s popularity in New Hampshire and Iowa, insinuating that her performance is nothing short of a flop. And, when it came to DeSantis’ momentum (or lack thereof), he made it clear he wasn’t impressed.
The conversation took a turn when Eric Trump came to his father’s defense against concerns about potential complacency within his campaign and among his supporters in the Iowa caucuses. Instead of acknowledging these concerns, Eric fired back, asserting that the legal battles his father faces will only make him “stronger.” He disregarded advice from former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, dismissing the idea of retribution and boldly claiming it’s about fixing a “very corrupt government.”
Eric Trump wasn’t going to let an opportunity for a fiery speech slip through his fingers. He took a swing at the media, accusing them of trying to fabricate a competitive race out of thin air when it comes to the primaries. According to him, there’s no real competition, and the so-called “race for second” is far from keeping up. In his eyes, it’s more like a race for second-to-last place!
This exclusive conversation with Eric Trump lays bare the Trump family’s uncompromising and no-holds-barred approach to dealing with the aftermath of the Capitol riot. As the former president gears up for a series of rallies across Iowa, it’s clear that his team is in no mood to hold back, and they’re ready to take on anyone who stands in their way. With Eric Trump leading the charge, it’s bound to be a fiery journey through the heartland as they fight tooth and nail for victory.
