Nepotism may be inescapable, according to Eric Trump.
“Nepotism is kind of a factor of life,” the president’s son said.
Since taking office, President Trump has faced backlash for giving his son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump roles in the West Wing. Both are unpaid.
“We might be here because of nepotism, but we’re not still here because of nepotism,” Eric Trump told Forbes. “You know, if we didn’t do a good job, if we weren’t competent, believe me, we wouldn’t be in this spot.”
The president “expects people to perform,” Eric Trump continued.
“And if they’re not performing, he kind of encourages them to go on their way,” he said. “You know the one thing, Don, Ivanka and I never let him down really in any factor of life.”
