"The guy's out there selling finger art, right? You know, everyone, one of the great hospitality companies, you know, anywhere in the world. You know, we went through hell, believe me. My father was the first guy who hasn't made money off of the presidency. In fact, you know, if I were to send you a tally of our legal bills over the last X number of years."
"JOE KERNEN: You're going to see this again and again in mainstream media in terms of a conflict of interest between the president and his position and his family being able to do so well in crypto. ERIC TRUMP: Joe, how long have I been sitting at this table? Like 20-something years. Meaning, I've been doing this with you guys for very long time, OK? We're far from Hunter Biden, right?"
Eric Trump dismissed suggestions that his family benefited financially from the presidency while responding to questions about the family's crypto earnings. He mocked Hunter Biden's ventures, saying, 'The guy's out there selling finger art,' and contrasted that with the Trump family's hospitality businesses and legal struggles. He asserted his father was 'the first guy who hasn't made money off of the presidency' and offered to share the family's legal-bill totals to support that claim. Eric Trump framed the Trump family's move into crypto as a response to being 'debanked' by financial institutions and described the family as serial capitalists with longstanding businesses. He attempted to distance the Trump family from perceived conflicts of interest while defending the legitimacy of their crypto activities.
