Eric Trump's stop on Megyn Kelly's fall tour briefly turned into a Trump-off
The president's second son dished on which family member is tough, which one is the nicest
which one is too nice, and, perhaps the most revealing moment of all, which one is kind of a
jerk. Eric's been making the rounds on conservative media in recent weeks, selling his new book
Under Siege, My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation, and sharing family lore
including the day he learned he's no longer the tallest Trump. He was 15 years old. I go back to back with the kid and he's literally got me by like a quarter of an inch
Talk turned to Barron once again in this latest chat as Eric addressed online rumors that his taller little half-brother whispered something rude to former President Joe Biden at the inauguration
He just doesn't have that in him. Like, he's a nice guy. He's probably thinking it. He definitely has it up here, but like, he's too courteous to actually go out there and say it
For the record, Barron told Eric he was polite and offered something along the lines of congratulations and best of luck
Sorting the Trumps by superlatives began when Meghan introduced Eric as perhaps the most
dignified and one of the nicest members of the family. But Eric begged to differ
"'You know what? I think Tiffany's the nicest Trump, actually.' "'She might be, yeah.'" When Meghan narrowed it to just the male Trumps, Eric threw a jab at his older brother and
had the usual praise for Don Sr. kind of a jerk right My father pretty tough Kind of a jerk isn necessarily an insult in the Trump family It closer to a badge of honor or maybe tough love President Trump supporters have even used that exact phrase
to describe him. I think he's arrogant, kind of a jerk, but obviously he's a good businessman
But the remark might also suggest some tension between the eldest Trump brothers. In 2022
British documentarian Alex Holder asked on Reddit about his docuseries Unprecedented, which followed the family on the campaign trail, revealed which moments surprised him the most
He dished, "'Eric seemed to be pretty scared of his older brother.'" When asked why, Holder replied
"'Have you seen Don Jr.?' "'This is partisan hackery at its finest.'
Holder's view was that Eric was the friendliest and the least like his father, Don Sr.
and that he didn't think Don Jr. liked him. He grouped Don Jr. and Ivanka together as the two Trumps most similar to their old man
This isn't the first time a family member has called Don Jr. a jerk. Ivana Trump's ex-husband, Rossana Rubicandi, Don Jr.'s stepfather for a time, called him rude
and a jerk in an interview with Page Six, even asking the tabloid to print jerk in all caps
And an anonymous Trump insider once told New York Magazine that the president's oldest son
is the most despised member of the family. A spoiled heir
