The life of Eric Trump, 35: bio, photos, family story

Eric Trump may not be the first Trump child who comes to mind.

The 35-year-old is in all of the family photos. He worked on one of the family properties growing up. He appeared on 23 episodes of “The Apprentice”. He’s played a key role in his father’s presidential campaigns, and now runs the family business alongside his brother.

He’s had his share of controversies, too, like hunting elephants, defending waterboarding, and sharing his disappointment with his depiction on “Saturday Night Live.” But he still doesn’t feature in the media as much as his older siblings or his father.

According to one college friend, “Eric has Trump genes, but he doesn’t have the Trump brand.” He and his wife, Lara, have been called the “ most normal, least controversial Trump couple“.

Here’s a closer look at Eric’s life, career, and family.
