Eric Trump: My father's life has become 'exponentially worse' since running for president......

“My father’s life became exponentially worse the minute he decided to run for president. He didn’t need to do this, but he was 'immensely frustrated' with where the country was going,” Eric Trump, the president's second son, told Westchester Magazine.

“There would be far fewer headaches if it weren’t for politics,” Trump said, before adding the inconveniences were worth it “when you know you’re in it for the right reasons.” Given the high-profile nature of his role as a surrogate, Eric Trump said he was more forgiving of the resulting media scrutiny, but insisted his younger siblings deserved privacy.

“Every day, you get abused by somebody,” he said. “And the next thing you know, you’re being parodied on 'Saturday Night Live.' It comes with the territory. We stood center stage with my father during the campaign and beyond.”

“We are adults; we’ve developed a bit of an armor,” Eric Trump continued, referring to eldest brother Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump. “But Barron and Tiffany should be 100 percent off-limits.”

Certainly in recent memory, maybe Nixon left worth less than when he was elected.

Carter, I have no idea and the same with Ford though I don’t think Gerald Ford was particularly wealthy anyway.

Reagan didn’t profit while in office but was able to do very well after leaving.

Obama and Clinton made out like thieves in a bank vault.

I have no idea about the first Bushes.

The second Bush made money hand over fist just before he became governor and sold his stake in the Texas Ranger’s baseball team.

Trump stands to lose a lot of money as President and that is rare.

And that is why we keep him in our prayers.

President Trump has shined the light on just how bad and depraved politicians, movie/tv/Hollywood, athletes, media, big businesses, etc. are.

“But Barron and Tiffany should be 100 percent off-limits.”

That’s what they said about Chelsea and Obama’s kids. But rules only apply to Republicans.

Unfortunately, he has signaled to the left and the establishment that their constant nipping at his heals is working.

The authors title leads one to assume that....but what Eric actually states is another story.

He didn’t have to do this. He could just have enjoyed the life of a billionaire for the remainder of his time, but he chose to save his country.

I say this all the time to people who may disapprove of President Trump. God bless him and his family.

Well sure, billionaire Trump is the most investigated person in history, yet these mentally ill leftist think Trump is running a criminal operation for profit inside the White House? Reminds me of the recent published story that Trump beats his wife and the reason why she was not seen in public lately. Pure lies. My opinion, I personally don't think the big Democrat players believe any of it. They're conducting a campaign of constant lies and deceit to breakdown and plant the seeds of doubt and suspicion, which are directed at Trumps supporters and the easily led in their own camp.

They can’t find dirt, so they simply fabricate, insinuate and concoct baseless stories and reports. I believe those orchestrating all this know damn well it's all bull sh*t.

Donald Jr. told Sean Hannity that the only people at the meeting were himself, his brother-in-law Jared, Paul Manafort and the Russian lawyer. Actually there were four other people which he did not mention in his interview with Hannity on Fox News. That was quite on omission since at least three of them were Russian Nationals with some ties to the Russian government.

I still support President Donald Trump and always will because he has proven to be the most effective President we have had since Ronald Reagan. I know that Trump did nothing wrong with respect to the Russian investigation.

Eric Trump made a statement that, in my view, is unhelpful. That's how I see it. Finis.

What a jerk you are

An omission is not a lie.

Since the meeting was sometime previous that may have been his best effort at recounting who was in the room
