He expressed confidence that his father would be protected and safe, criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for labeling him a threat to democracy. Eric claimed that while his father endures both literal and figurative attacks during his campaign, media coverage often downplays these incidents. He noted an online joke suggesting that Will Smith&#8217;s slap of Chris Rock at the Oscars received more media attention than Trump&#8217;s first assassination attempt.
