In a televised appearance that has reignited discussion about the First Family’s private life, Eric Trump made a series of striking allegations, claiming that his father’s political opponents engaged in a concerted effort to cause a divorce between Donald and Melania Trump. The comments, made on Newsmax, represent one of the most direct assertions from the Trump family about external pressures on their personal relationships.
During the interview, Eric Trump listed a litany of grievances against his father’s adversaries, referencing the two impeachments, the Russia investigation, and multiple indictments. The conversation took a deeply personal turn when he stated that these opponents “tried to get him divorced; they tried to separate our family.” He further elaborated that the intent behind the infamous Steele dossier, which contained unverified allegations about Donald Trump’s behavior in Russia, was specifically to “divide a marriage.”
These claims come amid ongoing public curiosity about the relationship between the former President and the former First Lady. A recent viral video showing a seemingly tense exchange between the couple on Marine One was widely dissected on social media, though lip readers later suggested the conversation was about a logistical issue at the United Nations. The couple was seen holding hands shortly after the incident.
Eric Trump’s remarks also referenced the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, during which agents searched various rooms, including those belonging to Melania Trump and their son, Barron. Melania has previously described the raid as an “invasion of privacy.” Eric’s comments frame these legal and investigative actions not just as political attacks, but as a deliberate assault on the family’s personal unity, portraying the Trumps as a family under siege from multiple fronts.
