Eric Trump: Ivanka would make a great VP

Eric Trump says he agrees with Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) that his sister Ivanka would be a great pick for his father's for vice president.

"His best running mate, by the way, would be Ivanka. I know that wouldn't pass muster, probably. But I don't know that I've met a more composed, brilliant, beautiful-in-every-way person," the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee told MSNBC on Wednesday after taking himself out of the running to be Donald Trump's vice president.


Appearing on "Fox & Friends" Thursday morning, Eric Trump remarked of the clip, "I agree, right? She's got the beautiful looks, right? She's got — she's smart, she's smart, smart, smart. ... She's certainly got my vote."

"Is she 35?" co-host Steve Doocy asked, in reference to the constitutional requirement that the president be at least 35 years old.

"She'll just be 35," Eric Trump said, noting that her birthday is at Oct. 30, "so she'd just make that by about by, you know, seven, eight days."

"And she definitely has the business sense," co-host Ainsley Earhardt remarked.

Trump added, "She's amazing."

Eric Trump also defended his father from charges of anti-Semitism, commenting on the presumptive Republican nominee's tweet sharing the photo of a six-pointed star on the cover of a "Frozen" sticker book as evidence that his previous tweet featuring an image of Hillary Clinton, a pile of cash and a a six-pointed star was not anti-Semitic.

"Well, it's amazing. I have a lot of nieces and nephews, and they always come over to my house. We always watch 'Frozen.' When I saw that — I mean, it is verbatim, it is the exact same star," Trump continued. "This is the craziness in politics. I mean this is little things planted by Hillary's administration, her you know, her people, saying that he's an anti-Semite."

"You know, it's interesting. My sister is Jewish," Trump continued, in reference to Ivanka's marriage to Jared Kushner and conversion to Judaism. "My brother-in-law is Jewish. We hire more Jewish people in our organization than anybody. I mean, half of our organization is Jewish. I hear these claims, and it is so ridiculous, and it is really the worst part of politics."
