Eric Trump Hints At White House Bid While Predicting Crypto Surge
In September, Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, suggested he might one day pursue the presidency, telling an interviewer in Asia he would "never" rule out a White House bid.
He declined to commit, saying, "I'm not saying no, but I'm also not saying yes."
The same month, economist Peter Schiff flagged Eric's prediction that the Federal Reserve would return to quantitative easing, suggesting it reflected the White House's awareness of economic weakness and inflation risks.
Schiff also noted that Eric likely had insider knowledge and mirrored his father's views on monetary policy.
Eric also expressed optimism about cryptocurrencies, forecasting a major surge in the fourth quarter and reiterating that Bitcoin could eventually reach $1 million.
He argued that the Fed's anticipated quantitative easing and rising money supply would benefit the crypto market.
These comments highlighted Eric Trump's growing presence in both political speculation and financial commentary, drawing attention to his potential future role in public life.
