"Nepotism is kind of a factor of life": Eric Trump tries to salvage some credit for his own success
‘Nepotism is kind of a factor of life’: Eric Trump tries to salvage some credit for his own success in family business
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/nepotism-is-kind-of-a-factor-of-life-eric-trump-tries-to-salvage-some-credit-for-his-own-success-in-family-business/
In a candid interview with Forbes, the younger Trump admitted that nepotism got him into a position in his father’s business. But he says his father handed over management of the Trump Organization to himself and his brother Don Jr. because of their own successes.
“Nepotism is kind of a factor of life,” Eric claimed. “We might be here because of nepotism, but we’re not still here because of nepotism. You know, if we didn’t do a good job, if we weren’t competent, believe me, we wouldn’t be in this spot.”
He added: “You know the one thing, Don, Ivanka and I never let him down really in any factor of life. And I think it’s one of the reasons that we’re as innately close as we are.”
Trump’s White House has been embroiled in accusations of nepotism. Trump appointed his son-in-law Jared Kushner as his senior advisor. His daughter Ivanka is also now a White House employee.

He reminds me of someone who is un-dead. Completely soulless.
Has it ever occurred to him that is father is not the best judge of competency?
