When is Eric Trump's birthday?

Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump and the late Ivana Trump, was born Jan. 6, 1984, in New York. January 6 marks Eric Trump's birthday and the Christian holiday, Three Kings Day, also known as Epiphany.

On Eric Trump's 37th birthday, Jan. 6, 2021, history was made — but not in a good way. What was meant to be a peaceful protest during the certification of the 2020 presidential election quickly turned into a horrifying event — a dark day in America’s history. Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. as politicians like Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Chuck Schumer hunkered down inside. A noose was found outside the Capitol, reportedly for then-Vice President Mike Pence.

As rioters destroyed historic statues, defecated in offices and fought with police, the world watched in real-time — on TV, online and on social media. Five people died during the Capitol Riots. Donald Trump was impeached by the House on Jan. 13, 2021, for “incitement of insurrection” for provoking the riots.

Since then, January 6 has been known as “Insurrection Day.”

Eric Trump's youngest half-sister, Tiffany Trump, came under fire for wishing her older brother a happy birthday during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection to her Instagram followers.

Eric Trump is Donald Trump's youngest child with his first wife, Ivana Trump. His siblings are Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump.

Both Trump sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, work out of the Jupiter club offices, according to the company's website.
