Eric Trump surprised an Auburn University crowd by calling his father, Donald Trump, live on stage during a Turning Point USA event, drawing massive cheers. The interaction, which included Donald Trump responding in real-time, highlighted the event’s emphasis on free speech and honoring Charlie Kirk’s legacy.
Eric Trump, who was co-hosting the event with his wife, Lara Trump, asked the audience if they should try calling his father. Donald Trump, who was on the phone, responded with a mix of gratitude and determination, emphasizing his support for free speech and the legacy of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated at Utah Valley University on September 10. The event, part of Turning, USA’s ‘This is the Turning Point’ tour, aimed to honor Charlie Kirk’s mission and keep the fight for free speech alive.
Turning Point USA said on its website that each stop of the ‘This is the Turning Point’ tour ‘is a chance to honor Charlie’s mission and keep the fight alive.’ The organization emphasized that free speech is only free if we use our voices, a sentiment echoed by both Eric and Donald Trump during the event.
The interaction between the father and son, who are both prominent figures in conservative politics, further underscored the importance of free speech and the ongoing commitment to defending it. Eric Trump’s call to his father not only showcased the dynamic between the two but also highlighted the rally’s focus on maintaining a strong stance against censorship and in support of free expression.
