EXCLUSIVEEric Trump reveals his girl advice for brother Barron - as he opens up about smart teen sibling

Eric Trump has revealed his advice for the worlds most famous bachelor - his younger brother Barron - as he heads off to college.

The 40-year-old ex-presidents son told the Daily Mail that life was easier for himself and his brother Don Jr., 46, when they were at the same stage - many years before their fathers successful presidential campaign stunned the world in 2016.

Trumps youngest son Barron, 18, has become the subject of public fascination, in large part because Donald and Melania have been successful in shielding him from the intense spotlight. 

Eric said: My advice to Barron is you are the most watched person, probably the most watched bachelor in the world right now. Im really lucky, when I was a bachelor we had a lot of attention but not quite the attention that hell have - especially if in 12 days we win. 

Just be careful, just be careful, Eric said with a smile. There are a lot of eyes on you.

He added seriously that the youngest Trump child is a credit to his father.

Hes a great kid. Hes a smart kid. He conducts himself very, very well. Hes been brought up well and hes gonna have a great future ahead of him.

Eric spoke to the Mail on Thursday in a wide-ranging interview where he spoke about the assassination attempts on his father, the election campaign, Prince Harry and golf.

He also discussed his affection for his siblings, Don Jr., and sister Ivanka, 42, from Donalds first marriage to Ivana; his younger sister Tiffany, 31, from his fathers marriage to Marla Maples, and 18-year-old brother Barron - from the 45th presidents current marriage to Melania.

Its a complicated family dynamic, and when you throw in the business empire and the White House, potentially explosive.

But there was no sign of any strife at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee shortly after the first assassination attempt, when the entire family - including grandchildren - took to the stage for the traditional balloon drop, accompanied by a rendition of Nessun Dorma.

Eric says: It is rather remarkable that the five of us, that the five kids, we are so close and we go out there and fight. And they havent been able to divide us - and theyve tried. Theyve tried in every way that you can possibly imagine to make it so miserable, so uncomfortable.

They havent been able to do so.

Eric Trump, who runs the familys business empire the Trump Organization, spoke with the Daily Mail on Thursday at his office in Palm Beach, Florida in a scene-setting interview for what he is convinced will be an election day victory 

As well as his five children, Donald Trump is grandfather to ten, including Erics son Luke and daughter Carolina who he shares with wife Lara, chair of the Republican National Committee.

On the shelves in Erics office, surrounding the MAGA caps and Trump wine bottles, are photos of Donald Trump with his grandchildren.

Eric attributed his fathers tough and strong personality with helping to keep the family together and also described a softer side to the 78-year-old.

My daughter will hop in his golf cart, hell be out playing, and shell have a big Pokemon doll or teddy bear and hell be driving around, the speakers will be blaring because he loves listening to music when he plays, hes running around the golf course drinking Diet Cokes, probably on the phone to some world leader and shes in his arms.

Its a lot of fun to see - its a side of Donald Trump that a lot of people sometimes cant believe. It isnt really out there and its not one of the things that we really project either.

On the election, Eric was optimistic.

In recent days, Kamala Harris rhetoric has turned increasingly extreme as her rival pulls ahead in the polls. Major betting markets are offering odds on Donald Trump that imply a 60 percent chance of victory.

Its going to be close, Eric conceded.

But the tight margins that complicated the result in 2020 and sparked accusations from Donald Trump, as well as his eldest sons, that the Democrats had rigged the election, were not at the forefront of Erics mind as he witnesses huge lines outside rallies across the country.

We always say as a family, "too big to rig", and thats our intention and hopefully thats what these massive lines signify, Eric said.
