Eric Trump is supporting his father as legal efforts mount against him, including in the New York v. Trump lawsuit underway in Manhattan. The Trump Organization's vice president insisted Sunday that progressive prosecutors, as well as the Biden administration, are resorting to legal warfare against the former president to delegitimize his candidacy.
“Obviously, [Alvin] Bragg is a prosecutor paid by Soros, no different from Fani [Willis]. They want to torture my father, but no one believes it,” he told “Sunday Morning Futures” anchor Maria Bartiromo.
While speaking on the show, he discussed the alleged two-tiered justice system perpetuated by his father's political rivals as well as the crumbling American state not only under the Biden administration, but at the level of the city, under the influence of those like Bragg. .

“New York is falling,” he said. “You have skyrocketing homelessness. You have women being pushed in front of trains. You have cops being murdered in their squad cars. You have little kids getting shot in Times Square, and they go after a guy for a $130,000 payment. Every day they close the streets around the courthouse it costs 20 times more. Every time they close the FDR drive it costs 50 times more.
Trump insisted the public does not buy into this legal charade, noting the out-of-control thefts that have led stores to lock up everyday items as a precaution.
“You can't go to Duane Reade, you can't go to CVS and buy skin lotion because it has to be locked behind plexiglass because theft is so prevalent, and the prosecutor's entire focus is on Donald Trump. Give me a break.”

Trump also blasted President Biden's performance, calling out his multiple gaffes that he said made him look incompetent.
Meanwhile, attention has shifted to the 2024 presidential race, where Biden and Trump are expected to do battle in November.

“It’s the law of unintended consequences,” Eric Trump told Bartiromo.
“And the Democrats, for whatever reason, haven’t figured that out, and they screw things up every time. [It’s] no different from Russia, no different from anything else. It's the law of unintended consequences. Biden goes to Pennsylvania and no one shows up. Literally, I go to any rally and I have 100 times more people than Biden had two weeks ago in Pennsylvania. »

On that note, he gave examples of his father's visit to a Harlem bodega in New York earlier this month, where he drew a massive crowd, as well as his visit to a construction site in New York where he was welcomed by supporters and unions. workers.
“So with all the power of Air Force One and with all the power of the executive branch, Biden can't let anyone run. My father is drawing these massive crowds and raising money like no one has ever seen before for the presidency. People want America back. People want to be proud of this country again. People want a leader for this nation,” Trump said.
