Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and son of President Donald Trump, appeared on The Jacob Buehrer Show, where he discussed his hectic life managing a multi-billion dollar business, his informal involvement in politics, and the challenges of balancing family and work.
Trump shared insights into his role overseeing the Trump Organization’s global real estate assets, including luxury hotels, golf courses, and Mar-a-Lago. He highlighted the growing success of the company, which he says is performing better than ever. Despite the pressures of running such a vast business, Trump also juggles a busy personal life with his two young children and wife. He acknowledged the challenges of frequent travel—spending around 200 days a year on the road—and the difficulty of managing time between business, family, and his support for his father’s political ambitions.

When asked for advice to college students, Trump emphasized the importance of following one’s passion. He advised students to pursue careers that not only align with their interests but also offer long-term growth potential. “If you’re not passionate about it, don’t even think about it,” he said, stressing that success comes from genuine enthusiasm for one’s work.
Trump also discussed why he believes young people should support his father’s presidential campaign. He pointed to economic policies under President Trump that resulted in lower inflation and more favorable conditions for young people entering the workforce. According to Trump, the current administration’s economic challenges, including rising inflation and the high cost of living, have disproportionately affected younger generations, making it harder for them to build financial security.
On a more personal note, Trump spoke about the core values that guide his life, including hard work, loyalty, and a love for family and country. He expressed concern about the erosion of work ethic in modern society, calling for a renewed focus on effort and dedication as the keys to success. “America was built on hard work,” he said, urging young Americans to embrace this value and contribute to the nation’s continued innovation and prosperity.
In a rapid-fire round of questions, Trump shared his longest flight experience—spending hours on planes to destinations like South Africa and Australia—and named the Lincoln Bedroom as his favorite room in the White House. He also revealed his love for steak, calling himself a “carnivore.”
Closing the interview, Trump encouraged listeners to live meaningful, fulfilling lives, saying, “Work hard, love life, and create something great.”
