NewsElections Eric Trump: What to know about Donald Trump's third child By Alison Fox alison.fox@amny.com Updated January 20, 2017 12:59 PM Print Share fbShare Tweet Email Donald Trump’s third child, Eric Trump, has taken a keen interest in his father’s business, but as a true middle child, has looked for his own place in life. Eric was a familiar face on his father's campaign trail, and, very much keeping with the Donald Trump mold, he has stoked the social media embers with some controversies of his own. He has also faced questions of conflict-of-interest, like his father. He decided he will no longer solicit donations to his charity to prevent donors from trying to use his status as the president's son to get favors.

Donald Trump Jr. told Forbes in 2012 that his father doesn't hunt and "really doesn't understand why Eric and I hunt. However, he is open minded and so always allowed us to go hunting."
