Trump’s hot mic moment goes from bad to worse after son Eric’s comments

A Private Exchange with President Trump Sets Off Alarm Bells for His Son's Business Dealings in Indonesia.

In a private conversation captured by microphones, US President Donald Trump agreed to arrange a meeting between his son Eric and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. When asked about the nature of the request, Trump referred to his son as "a good boy" before saying he would have Eric call Subianto back.

The request was made during President Trump's recent visit to the Middle East. The meeting in question is believed to be for a business-related purpose and not solely a diplomatic engagement.

Recently, in an interview with pro-Trump content creator Eric Bolling, Eric Trump suggested that Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto had requested the meeting because of his interest in two properties owned by the Trump Organization - one in Bali and another in Indonesia. According to Eric Trump, the president's knowledge about the family's business was likely due to frequent visits from his son.

The Trump Organization issued a statement claiming that both of their Indonesian projects began before President Trump entered office for his first term. The foreign minister of Indonesia denied any involvement in arranging the meeting with the US President.

Critics are now questioning whether the interests of the Trump family were genuinely discussed by President Trump and his son, raising concerns over potential conflicts of interest.

The controversy surrounding this development is starkly contrasted with Republican claims against former President Joe Biden regarding alleged corruption within his administration.

I drew a simple mind map to visualize my thoughts on this news

+ Donald Trump
- Arranged meeting between Eric & Prabowo Subianto
- Business-related purpose?
+ The Trump Organization claims their projects were already in development when Trump took office
- But was it just a coincidence?
- Possible conflict of interest?

I'm curious to know more about the nature of the request and what exactly was discussed during that private conversation Shouldn't we see the actual transcripts before making any judgments?

This whole thing feels super sketchy ... I mean, Eric Trump just happens to mention that his dad had a convo about a meeting for business purposes, and now it's like they're trying to spin this as no big deal ? Meanwhile, people are still talking about Biden's dealings with Ukraine and not enough attention is being paid to how the Trumps do their business... especially when there's a global leader involved . And Indonesia is already dealing with its own issues, so it's just more chaos if we're gonna throw in this controversy .

oh man this is getting juicy! i dont know about the business deals but what im more worried about is eric trump just being casual with a president lol like 'he's a good boy' and then expecting him to call back? that seems sketchy to me . its not surprising though, his dad has always been about self promotion so who knows whats really going on here

so the trump organization is claiming both properties in indonesia started before trump even became president? that's cute tryin to spin it what a coincidence that they just happen to start around the same time as Trump's presidency... seems like a pretty clear case of nepotism to me, or maybe i'm just not seeing the "good boy" vibes

What's up with Trump's son Eric always getting himself into these shady deals? First it's the Russia thing, then it's the Ukraine issue... now this Indonesian business deal? Can't we just have one honest politician for once? Not saying President Trump is a bad guy or anything, but come on, Eric needs to get his act together. I mean, how many times can you say "it was all pre-planned" before it sounds like BS? Indonesia's foreign minister denying any involvement in the meeting just makes me think there's more to this story than we know...

omg this is getting crazy!!! i mean seriously what is going on here? eric trump just casually mentioning that the indonesian president is interested in trump org properties and now everyone's losing it but let's get to the point... shouldn't there be more scrutiny over how trump's meetings with foreign leaders are arranged? like, is this legit or is it some shady backroom deal? and btw what's up with all these allegations of corruption against democrats vs republicans? can't we just focus on tech for a sec? have you guys heard about the new augmented reality headset that's supposed to change gaming forever?

I'm kinda worried about Eric Trump's involvement in this thing... Like, what if the meeting does have some kinda business connection? Can't we just assume he wants to help out Indonesia or something? I know people are gonna say "conflict of interest" and all that, but let's not jump on the bandwagon without hearing more. What if Eric Trump really is doing some good for the country? We shouldn't just assume the worst, right? And btw, isn't it kinda rich that we're comparing this to Biden's admin when we don't even know all the facts here? Let's just chill and wait for more info, 'kay?

trump's got some weird connections - like how president trump is trying to set up a meeting between eric and indonesia's prez, but it seems more about their family's business deals and not even clear if that's what's being discussed...it's kinda sketchy - especially when you consider the timing of this request, right after his middle east trip...some people are saying eric trump is getting all cozy with indonesia's president because of some properties they own in bali and indonesia

I'm not surprised about this at all lol the trump fam knows how to get what they want, no matter who it takes. Eric Trump thinks he's slick trying to spin this one but honestly, does anyone really believe that Prabowo was just genuinely interested in their properties? I mean, come on, a private convo between the president and his son, with the press not there to record it? That smells like fishy business to me. And what's with these 'frequent visits' claims, Eric Trump? Can't even get that straight. The Trump Organization is gonna try to distance themselves from this too, but at the end of the day, it's all about who they know and how much they're willing to do for a buck

I'm low-key worried about Eric Trump's business dealings in Indonesia . If the president really did know about their projects from frequent visits, that's a whole different story. And what if the meeting isn't just a coincidence? It does seem suspicious that Eric Trump is pushing for this meeting with Prabowo Subianto after his dad mentioned him being "a good boy". We need more info on this . Transparency would be key in these kinds of situations, you know? Can't have the president's son's business interests conflicting with official duties

come on people let's not jump to conclusions here... Eric Trump said it himself that Prabowo Subianto has visited the properties like 5 times already, so who's really trying to curry favor? also, isn't it legit for a head of state to be interested in some business deals? those republicans are just mad 'cause they can't take down trump and now they're all about joe biden's alleged corruption... meanwhile trump is still doing shady business moves with indonesian prez and nobody bats an eye

So what's going on here? It seems like the Trumps are trying to get in bed with Indonesia, and I'm low-key suspicious. Like, how much influence does Eric Trump really have over his dad? And why is this guy being let loose with microphones? It's just too convenient . We should be questioning what's going on behind closed doors, not just the surface-level BS. This smells like a major conflict of interest fest to me .
