On Sunday, the @Trump X account, which is the official account of the Trump Organization, paid a gushing Father’s Day tribute to… Eric Trump.
“This Father’s Day, we celebrate not just the man who inspired it all — but the son who showed up, every single day, and proved that the greatest gift a father can give isn’t a name or a fortune,” the @Trump post said. “It’s an example. The empire that Donald J. Trump built did not survive four years of presidential service by accident. It survived because a son put on his hard hat and went to work. Eric Trump is not merely the beneficiary of his father’s legacy. He is its keeper, its engine, and its next great chapter.”

It’s rare for any Trump-associated entity to speak in such gushing tones about anyone other than Donald Trump, but it appears this is now Eric’s turn. The post goes on to share a further tribute to Eric, titled “A Father’s Day Tribute: Like Father, Like Builder.”

As noted by the Daily Beast, this could be seen as yet another snub by the president of his oldest son, Don Jr., just weeks after the elder Trump skipped Don’s wedding. The article also includes a picture of Donald Trump, in a vintage New York Yankees uniform, standing in front of a baseball stadium dugout, with a young Eric and Ivanka; Don Jr. is not pictured.
“The Trump Organization marked Father’s Day with a gushing tribute to Eric Trump—while curiously omitting any mention of his brother, Donald Trump Jr.,” the Beast said. “The Trump family’s conglomerate sang Eric’s praises on its X account on Sunday, insisting that President Donald Trump’s second son, himself the father of two, is ‘not merely the beneficiary of his father’s legacy.’ But the post entirely ignores Don Jr., 48, even though he shares the title of executive vice president with Eric, 42, and has five children with his ex-wife Vanessa Trump.”
