It appears that Eric Trump is set to accompany his father, the President, on an upcoming state visit to China. This isn’t an official capacity, mind you, but more of a personal endorsement, if you will. It’s as if it’s “bring your kid to work day,” and, unfortunately, American taxpayers are footing the bill for this particular excursion.
