Eric Frederick Trump (born January 6, 1984) is an American businessman, philanthropist, and former television personality. He is the third child and second son of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, and his first wife, Ivana Trump.
Eric serves as a trustee and executive vice president of the Trump Organization, working closely with his older brother, Donald Trump Jr., to oversee the family’s global business empire. Beyond his business role, Eric gained national recognition as a boardroom judge on his father’s hit reality show, The Apprentice. During Donald Trump’s presidency, Eric and his brother faced scrutiny for their international business dealings, including investments in foreign markets and the receipt of payments from foreign governments at Trump properties in the U.S.—actions that were at odds with their public promises to avoid such engagements while their father held office.
