Should I do that? He&#x27;s such a good boy. I&#x27;ll have Eric call.&quot;Prabowo then says: &quot;We&#x27;ll look for a better place,&quot; and Trump says again: &quot;I&#x27;ll have Eric call you.&quot;Prabowo says: &quot;Eric or Don Jr.&quot;Eric Trump and his brother Donald Trump Jr. both serve as executive vice presidents of the Trump          Organization, which has business operations involving real estate, hospitality and blockchain-based ventures.The company operates a golf club outside the Indonesian capital Jakarta, according to its website.
