Donald Trump is more likely to win the White House because of the «stupid» allegations leveled against him over the past five months, his son Eric said.
< p>B In an exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said the more times his father is charged, the stronger he will become politically and financially.
The former US president faces 91 charges. in four lawsuits ranging from deliberately retaining national defense information to conspiracy to defraud the United States. He denied them all.
Despite his troubles with the law, he extended his lead over Ron De Santis, his closest Republican opponent, to 44 points and has raised almost $10 million since posting his photo in Georgia 24 August.
Americans are “sick”. and tired of weaponizing politics» and «outraged» by the way the former president is being treated, his son said.
In an extensive interview at his golf course near Aberdeen, he also targeted Nicola Sturgeon, praising the Middle East's attitude towards foreign investment and argued that the PGA allowed a golf course owned by Trump to host the Scottish Open. /p>
The Trump International Scotland Club is located at the end of a long driveway overlooking 40-foot sand dunes and the North Sea. The club hosted the PGA Seniors Championship last weekend.
The presence of the 45th President of the United States is inevitable. A photograph of him hangs behind a counter in the clubhouse, and a pair of golf shoes signed by him are on display in a glass cabinet, available for purchase for £1,250. There are also «Make America Great Again» caps.
Last week, Donald Trump was arrested in Georgia on charges of trying to undo his 2020 election defeat in the state, and a picture of him was taken. This was the fourth time he has been indicted in five months.
“What has happened in the past five months will make him President of the United States again,” Eric Trump said in his first public comments since his arrest in Georgia. «The bullshit he's been dealing with for the last five months is obvious to every American and will win him the White House in 2024.»
The 39-year-old struck at a system that allowed Democrat district attorneys to prosecute a former Republican president.
Our country is tired of weaponizing politics. They don't deceive anyone. The Americans are furious,” he said. “The more times they bring charges, the stronger he becomes politically and financially for the campaign. It brings him a huge amount of money.”

Trump's campaign used his photo to stimulate fundraising and mobilize supporters. The photo was adorned with t-shirts, bumper stickers and mugs, as well as the slogan «never give up». Previous rounds of fundraising since the indictments have not been as successful.
However, the former president, who chose to skip the first Republican debate in favor of a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson, faces a tedious campaign schedule next year: he will cross the entire country and switch between courthouses and stages of rallies.
< p>He may yet visit the UK before next year's election, according to his son, who said: «He loves the UK. He'll be awfully busy, but he loves it here.»
Mr Trump Sr. bought the land on the Meney estate in 2006 and, after spending £150 million on planning and construction, it opened in 2012 . Two years later, he purchased the legendary Turnberry Golf Club, which hosted four British Open championships, for £50 million. He spent another £150 million to renovate the pitch.
But he had conflicts with the Scottish government, and Eric Trump said: “We have been dealing with Nicola Sturgeon for a long time. If she got her way, she would simply force all business out of this country. We have fought battles for so many years.
“Despite all this nonsense, we continue to invest in golf here. Shouldn't a company receive a certain amount of praise? Holding such tournaments costs a lot of money. We spend a lot of money. We are going to invest another $15 million for a second course in Aberdeen. Will such dedication to the game ever be appreciated?
“I think the people of Aberdon generally appreciate everything we've done. They know we've done a great job, but I'm a little shocked that someone from the government didn't call us and say, «You did a great job.»
» The amount of money we invested here , would you like to encourage further investment? It's such limited thinking.»

Outside of Scotland, the Trump Organization is involved in a multi-billion dollar real estate project in Oman. She was included in the deal by Dar Al Arkan, a Saudi real estate firm with close ties to the Saudi government.
The project, which includes a Trump-branded hotel, golf course and luxury villas, raised ethical questions, but Eric Trump said: “I think that's why the Middle East has been so successful. If they have someone who is interested, they want to help, they are delighted. They want to help you achieve your goals.
«Here [in Scotland] it's just the opposite.» If you show interest, if you show excitement, they will try to stop you from doing it.”
The Trump Organization is encouraged by a potential merger between PGA and Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf and hopes Trump International Links' field near Aberdeen can host the Scottish Open and their field in Dunbeg, Ireland could host the LIV. event next year.
Just days after the January 6 Capitol riots, the PGA withdrew its 2022 PGA Championship event from Trump Field at Bedminster and hasn't handed the Trump Organization the main event of the tour since. then.

However, Peter Baker won the PGA Senior Championship at the Link Course near Aberdeen as a step in the right direction.
golf course in the world and impeccable hospitality,” said Mr Trump Jr. “But, secondly, you will not see people with picket posters. In fact, quite the contrary: it was the most relaxing and fun weekend of all.
“Politics doesn't matter. We are a golf company. There were no riots, no nonsense, no problems, and the entire tournament ran flawlessly. Hopefully they can zoom out and see it.
“Often people get into politics because of who we are. There is a fear that the tournament will be overshadowed by the man who was the 45th President of the United States, and I think this is wrong.”
