Eric Trump Defends His Father’s Toughness

Eric Trump defended his father’s stamina, in a Sunday interview, even as the former president remains stuck in a New York courtroom instead of on the campaign trail, The Hill reports.

Said Trump: “He will be in trial all day long … only to step out and go to events at bodegas and wake up and speak to union workers and go to Michigan and go to Pennsylvania and go to Ohio and go to all the other swing states.”

He added: “The guy is really a remarkable human being, and I love him to death, and I’m proud of him. And I think the whole world knows his backbone and his toughness, and it’s exactly who we need behind the Resolute Desk in Washington, D.C. It’s the exact person we need in the Oval Office.”
