The High Lord of MAGA shared a not-so-discreet moment with his Indonesian counterpart at his feted Gaza summit in Egypt.

Overview

  • Video and audio from Sharm el-Sheikh captured Prabowo Subianto asking, “Can I meet Eric?” and President Trump replying, “I’ll have Eric call… he’s such a good boy,” with Prabowo adding, “Eric or Don Jr.”
  • Both leaders appeared unaware the microphone was live as they spoke immediately after Trump’s remarks on the Gaza ceasefire plan.
  • Reuters reported the recording does not make clear whether the conversation referred to the Trump Organization or any specific business deals.
  • Ethics watchdogs, including CREW, said the exchange raises concerns about mixing official diplomacy with the Trump family’s private business interests.
  • Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. are executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, which runs a golf club near Jakarta and lists a Bali resort as coming soon, and the White House and Indonesia’s embassy did not immediately comment.
