Donald Trump son makes surprising claim about Melania divorce

Despite the dramatic nature of his statements, Eric Trump offered no evidence to support the claim. Neither the White House nor representatives for Melania Trump have commented on the allegation.

The comments quickly fueled speculation about the Trumps’ marriage—long a topic of fascination in both political and celebrity circles. Since leaving the White House in 2021, Melania has largely kept a low profile, appearing rarely in public and choosing privacy over politics. Her absence from campaign events has repeatedly sparked rumors of distance between her and her husband, though Donald Trump has consistently dismissed those claims.

Trump, now 79, has often praised Melania publicly, calling her “a great First Lady” and “a strong, private, and very smart woman.” The couple married in 2005 and share one son, Barron, who began college this year.

Critics, however, were quick to question Eric’s remarks. Some commentators dismissed the claim as political theater, meant to distract from Donald Trump’s ongoing legal challenges. “There’s no evidence of any government attempt to interfere in their marriage,” said one analyst. “This fits into the familiar Trump narrative of persecution and victimhood.”

Supporters, on the other hand, saw the interview as another example of how the Trump family continues to rally together under pressure. Eric’s comments, though controversial, reinforced a message that resonates deeply with his father’s political base: that the Trumps are being unfairly targeted for their beliefs.
