The Trump family has been living under constant threat for years.
But Eric Trump rarely speaks publicly about the terrifying reality they face daily.
And Eric Trump broke his silence about one scary situation his dad faced that will leave you stunned.
Eric Trump refuses to back down despite assassination attempts
Eric Trump has watched political violence explode across America with his own family squarely in the crosshairs.
His father survived two assassination attempts in 2024 – first when a bullet grazed President Trump’s ear in Butler, Pennsylvania, and again when another would-be assassin aimed a gun at him while golfing in Florida.
Then came the assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University.
The 31-year-old conservative leader was gunned down in broad daylight while speaking to students, sending shockwaves through the conservative movement.
In a bombshell interview with the Daily Mail ahead of his forthcoming memoir, Eric Trump made one thing crystal clear.
His family isn’t backing down.
"I’ll never remove myself from the stage, I just won’t," Eric declared. "We clearly live a dangerous life."
But Eric had a stark message for any politicians thinking about retreating from public life because of the violence.
"Get out of politics" – Eric Trump’s blunt warning
Eric Trump didn’t mince words when talking about politicians who are canceling events and altering schedules due to rising political violence.
His ultimatum was simple: Accept the risk or get out.
"If that was going to rule the day, get out of politics. Go hide in a cave, go stay in your basement, never be heard from again," Eric said. "We won’t have a country if people cower to these maniacs."
The Trump family’s connection to Charlie Kirk ran deep.
Kirk’s Turning Point USA worked closely with the Trump political operation to mobilize young Americans to vote for Republican values.
In an eerie coincidence, Eric’s book hits shelves on Kirk’s birthday – October 14.
"You better believe that Charlie realized that standing on that stage was an inherent threat. These people are insane, they’re totally sick," Eric said.
He recognized the dangerous reality they all face.
"I do recognize that standing on that stage is an inherent threat," Eric explained. "I fully comprehend that it’s not always safe, I fully comprehend that we often put ourselves in peril. I think it’s the nature of the beast."
The terrifying threats Eric Trump’s family faces daily
Eric Trump revealed disturbing details about the constant threats his family receives.
He disclosed that the Trumps regularly get packages of white powder in the mail – a tactic historically used to intimidate targets with the threat of anthrax.
The bioweapon can kill within one to two weeks of inhalation, making even hoax attacks deeply terrifying.
"You know how many packages of white powder I’ve opened up?" Eric asked. "You know how many times my wife has been in the kitchen without kids and opened up a package of exploding white powder?"
His wife Lara Trump has also been targeted with these threatening packages while at home with their children.
Despite the constant danger, Eric insisted his family won’t be intimidated.
"There is no one who wants the political violence to go down more than me," he said. "It has to end, it’s enough of this nonsense."
But Eric made clear who he believes is responsible for the escalating violence.
"These days it only seems to be going one way," Eric claimed. "It only seems to be targeting conservatives."
Eric Trump blasts FBI handling of assassination attempts
Eric Trump expressed deep dissatisfaction with how the FBI under former President Joe Biden handled the investigation into his father’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks.
"I’m not satisfied at all. I’m not satisfied in the least," he said, revealing he covers the assassination attempt in "massive granularity" in his upcoming book "Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation."
While President Trump has remained "remarkably calm and accepting of gross incompetence of what happened that day," Eric made clear he isn’t accepting of it.
"As a son, I’m not," Eric continued. "And there’s a lot of people in this country who are not accepting of it, because we know nothing about him."
Eric pointed out the suspicious speed with which Crooks’ body was destroyed after the attack.
He lamented that some "family pets take longer to be cremated" than the time it took for the shooter’s body to be disposed of.
But Eric expressed confidence that current FBI Director Kash Patel will "get to the bottom of it."
Look, here’s what Eric Trump is really saying to anyone trying to intimidate conservative leaders through violence.
You’re not going to win.
The Trump family has survived two assassination attempts and watched a close ally murdered in broad daylight, yet they’re not retreating.
Eric’s message is clear – either you’re willing to risk everything to save this country, or you need to get out of the way.
For families like the Trumps who’ve dedicated their lives to the America First movement, the threats and violence only strengthen their resolve.
The Left’s strategy of using political terrorism to silence conservatives has backfired spectacularly.
Instead of cowering in fear, leaders like Eric Trump are doubling down and refusing to be intimidated.
That’s exactly the kind of courage America needs right now.
