Trump's second son Eric Trump does not rule out "running for the 2028 U.S. presidency," could the encryption president become a reality?

The health status of current US President Trump has become a topic of discussion. His second son, Eric Trump, was asked if he intends to run for office, and his answer was intriguing. (Background: The Trump family’s token WLFI will launch tomorrow, what is its valuation? Which large investors have bought it?) (Further context: Backed by Trump, American Bitcoin plans to go public on Nasdaq in September under the code ABTC) “I don’t want to say no, and I don’t want to say yes.” Eric Trump was pressed by the media about whether he has intentions regarding the US presidency, and his vague response introduces a new variable into the 2028 US presidential election. As the Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and a co-founder of the crypto firm World Liberty Financial, his next steps not only influence the power dynamics in Washington but also affect Silicon Valley and Wall Street’s imagination of the ‘Trump dynasty’ sequel. The current Vice President Vance (James David Vance) is indeed in a somewhat awkward position. Inheriting the throne? Eric Trump explained his reasons for not saying “definitely running”: his father Trump faced lawsuits, media scrutiny, and political attacks during his first and second terms, which made him deeply understand the “cruelty” of politics. This caution subtly echoes Trump’s ambiguous tone on the topic of a “third term,” also showing that the Trump family’s calculations regarding the succession of power have not yet been finalized. Advancing in real estate and crypto finance While maintaining flexibility on the fringes of politics, Eric continues to strengthen the Trump family’s business foundation. He oversees the global real estate operations of the Trump Organization, advancing the development of golf assets such as Trump National Doral in Miami and Trump Turnberry in Scotland, ensuring cash flow and brand visibility. Even more noteworthy in the market is his crypto company World Liberty Financial, which he co-founded with partners, targeting blockchain settlements and digital asset custody opportunities, laying the groundwork for potential political journeys with funding and supporter networks, even support from global finance. Additionally, he and his brother Donald Trump Jr. endorsed a SPAC focused on “Made in America,” supporting the revival of domestic manufacturing, strategically echoing their father’s “America First” stance. The three-pronged layout of crypto finance, real estate, and SPAC makes the Trump family’s capital pool both diverse and interconnected. If transformed into electoral resources in the future, the momentum should not be underestimated. Intra-party competition is not solely decided by Trump The Trump family has always stirred strong emotions at both ends of the American political spectrum, with supporters showing high loyalty and opponents equally resisting. Eric has not clearly stated his intention to run, perhaps out of concern for the complex factions within the Republican Party, including current Vice President J. D. Vance and potential opponents like Senator Marco Rubio. At the same time, the Trump family still faces multiple lawsuits and regulatory investigations, and issues of transparency and conflicts of interest will undoubtedly become weaknesses targeted in Trump’s next electoral battle. Eric Trump himself has mentioned several times that “the family has paid a huge price for politics,” indicating that true political participation will be the result of careful calculation, rather than a spur-of-the-moment impulse.
