Eric Trump reignited speculation about Donald and Melania Trump’s marriage after saying political opponents had tried to “get my father divorced.” He made the claim on Rob Schmitt Tonight, insisting that attacks on the Trump family had crossed from politics into their personal lives. His direct acknowledgment drew immediate public attention.
Eric argued that adversaries used many tactics against Donald Trump, including impeachment, legal pressure, and attempts to hurt the family itself. He pointed to the Steele dossier, claiming it was funded by Hillary Clinton and even meant to “divide a marriage.” However, no evidence supports the idea that it aimed to damage Donald and Melania’s relationship.
Curiosity about the Trump marriage has been ongoing, especially after a viral Marine One video fueled online theories. Lip-readers said the clip showed them discussing the UN escalator incident, but speculation continued, making Eric’s comments more impactful.
He also connected his claims to the FBI’s 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid, saying agents searched Melania’s closet and Barron’s room. Melania later described the raid as an intrusion into her private space, which Eric used to support his narrative that the family faced personal attacks.
Despite the bold accusations, political analysts note there is no verifiable evidence of an organized effort to cause a Trump divorce. Some believe Eric’s statements may be aimed at energizing supporters by portraying the family as victims of aggressive political hostility.
For now, the claims remain unproven, but discussion about Donald and Melania Trump’s relationship continues to circulate.
