Eric Trump is outraged that Biden-Harris is spending money on migrants while hurricane victims suffer

Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization and second son of former President Donald Trump, says he is fed up with “blank check” spending in Washington that ignores American citizens in favor of foreign wars and illegal immigrants.

“I just have to ask, I look around and ask: Why? Why are we funding all this nonsense? How did we lose our priorities so badly?”

The 40-year-old Florida man preached against government overspending along with his father for years, but says he felt it especially strongly during the hurricane that hit his home state last month.

“I’m sitting here and thinking: FEMA is running out of money. Right? And they only spent about $330 million on hurricanes. And yet, FEMA has spent $1.4 billion so far on illegal immigrants,” Trump said, referring to money spent on the agency’s Shelter and Services Program for migrants since 2022.

“And FEMA is not even the organization responsible for illegal immigration. It’s scary to think about,” he added.

But for the young Trump, who says his father plans to make deep spending cuts “when he’s elected next month,” it’s not just about disaster relief.

Trump’s middle son will play a role on his father’s transition team if the former president wins on November 5. He says they plan to tighten control over military spending if they win back the White House.

“We are spending more than $200 billion on Ukraine. It’s not magic money, it’s taxpayer money,” Trump told The Post. “You know, I spend a lot of time in this part of the world. My mother was Eastern European. I care. But now you go there and see these young, beautiful children shooting at each other in rage.”

Trump has three young children with his wife, Lara Trump, who is co-chair of the Republican National Committee. He told The Post that as a father, he believes the U.S. needs to limit its role in foreign conflicts to protect children.

“I know how long it takes to raise a child,” he told The Post. “I mean, it’s tens of thousands of hours. It’s the trips to the ice cream shop, the timeouts you give them when they’re walking in the opposite direction. Right? And so I know what waste (war) is. This is such a waste of potential. This is because of the propaganda and weapons that our government funds in the billions. They are all simply being led to their deaths.”

The war in Ukraine has claimed the lives of 600 children UN report published earlier this year.

State Department reports show that the US has committed about 175 billion dollars to help Ukraine in its war with Russia, which approaches the three-year mark in March. Last month Biden promised $425 million more military aid to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, American patience with foreign wars is wearing thin.

For July survey from Redfield and WiltonHalf of voters believe the United States should either end or reconsider its support for Ukraine. That figure jumped to 67% among Trump voters, while 53% of Harris voters say the US should continue to support Ukraine.

“It’s really just common sense,” Trump said. “We really can’t spend money on the path to a better world. It requires something more. It takes work.”
