In early October, Eric Trump made a statement that continues to get significant attention.
In a startling and intense television appearance, he has said that political opponents are seeking to engineer a “divorce” between his father, President Donald Trump, and Melania Trump.
The assertions have rekindled speculation regarding the First Couple’s relationship, which has consistently been scrutinized by the public.
The Helicopter incident
Recently, a viral video seemingly depicted animosity between Donald and Melania aboard Marine One as it descended on the White House South Lawn. Numerous online observers perceived the video as a domestic altercation, featuring Trump gesticulating with his finger and Melania shaking her head.
Forensic lip readers further elucidated that the dialogue pertained to the “escalator-gate” episode at the United Nations, where a defective escalator nearly precipitated an altercation during the couple’s presence at the UN General Assembly.
Notwithstanding the momentary stress, the couple was observed walking hand in hand shortly thereafter, conveying a united front. However, it is indisputable that the matter of their relationship status is an issue that both they and their family must confront.
Eric Trump speaks out
In an appearance on Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt Tonight, Eric Trump vigorously defended his father against persistent legal and political assaults.
“They came after me like I was a dog,” Eric said.
“They tried to impeach my father two times. They went after him for a Russia hoax that did not exist, which was paid for by Hillary Clinton. The FBI and DOJ spied on my father’s campaign. They de-platformed him. They weaponized every attorney general and every district attorney around the country. They indicted him 91 times – 34 times in a bogus trial in New York City. They posted his mugshot…even though they didn’t need to, which totally backfired.”
Eric proceeded to shift the focus onto his family’s personal affairs.
“They raided his home. They raided Mar-a-Lago. They tried to get him divorced; they tried to separate our family. They tried to go after our employees. They attacked us. They tried to bankrupt our company. They de-platformed us, they stripped every bank account away from me and the Trump Organization that you can imagine, and Merrick Garland was at the forefront of all of it, and Joe Biden was at the forefront of all of it when they raided our home, when they raided Mar-a-Lago, when they raided Melania’s closet. When they raided 16-year-old Barron’s room.”
Divorce allegations
Eric’s most shocking assertion focused on what he characterized as external efforts to “fracture a marriage.”
A person affiliated with Eric informed the Daily Mail that the comment was linked to Christopher Steele’s notorious Russian dossier, which purportedly detailed unethical conduct by Donald Trump during his visits to Russia, claims that Trump has persistently refuted.
The Mar-a-Lago raid
“When they talk about golden showers in their paid-for-fake-dossier, paid for by Hillary Clinton, you better believe their intent is to divide a marriage,” Eric said.
Eric’s remarks also alluded to the 2022 FBI raid on the Trump family’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Authorities confiscated 33 cartons of documents during an inquiry into the management of confidential presidential records.
Trump characterized the inquiry as politically motivated, while Melania publicly referred to the raid as a “invasion of privacy.”
“The way it was done was — I was really surprised,” she said in a September 2024 interview. “I saw unpleasant stuff that nobody wants to see. And you get angry because, you know, nobody should be putting up with that kind of stuff. Some person — I don’t even know how many people — went through my stuff.”
A family under siege
Eric Trump’s assertions represent one of the most explicit public admissions of the pressures purportedly exerted on the Trump family’s marriage.
No evidence has been provided to support the divorce accusation; but, the declaration introduces another dramatic element to the President’s legal and political struggles, as well as the public examination of his personal life.
