Eric Trump on father’s legacy: He’s ‘killed every RINO’ in Washington

Eric Trump credited his father on Monday with toppling the GOP establishment and changing both political parties for generations while celebrating the 10th anniversary of President Trump’s “golden escalator” launch of his first successful White House campaign.

“He has killed every RINO there was in Washington, D.C.,” Eric Trump said in an interview on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” using a pejorative that refers to people deemed Republicans in name only. “Now all of a sudden, you have a Republican Party that’s united.”

The president has often blasted his critics and other Republicans who stray from his positions as RINOs.

Eric Trump, who is executive vice president of the Trump Organization, was speaking Monday to host Maria Bartiromo about the company’s new Trump Mobile cell service, but he deviated to reflect on his father’s legacy following President Trump’s return to the White House this year after losing a reelection bid four years earlier.

“There is no question that he has changed the trajectory of the political parties indefinitely, but it’s going to last,” the younger Trump said. “This isn’t a one cycle, two cycle.”

“It’s going to last, literally, I believe, generations,” he added.

The president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., marked Monday’s anniversary of the president’s 2016 campaign launch with a social media post similarly highlighting its impact.

“10 years ago today one outsider, sick of the bs and failure in Washington D.C. decided to get in the game and change the course of history!!!!” Trump Jr. wrote on X.

Eric Trump, who has two young children, also said he believes his father has helped spark political interest in younger people.

“My father has made politics fun again, right?” he said. “It’s cool again to be involved in politics.”
