President Trump’s son Eric channeled singer Kenny Rogers to praise his father’s actions throughout the health care debate, saying business owners “know when you should hold their cards and know when to fold their cards.”
Eric Trump said his father was right to leave behind the home plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare since it was unraveling.
“Sometimes the deals you walk away from become the perfect cheapest price and I commend him. I commend him for saying, ‘listen, you guys don’t have your act together, you’re not getting it done.
We’re either going to vote or not if. If we’re not, we’re moving on to something else,'” Trump, 33, said on “Fox and Friends.”
He said as opposition towards the GOP’s American Healthcare Act grew many people might have dragged the process for months trying to find a consensus.
“I love the truth that he place a definitive deadline on something,” Eric Trump said. “I think the very best business owners know when to do that – know when to hold their cards and know when to fold their cards.”
House Speaker Paul Ryan canceled the vote in the home last Friday as support for that plan dwindled.
During the appearance on “Fox and Friends” Eric Trump and the wife Lara said they revealed that they would be having a baby boy to Trump members of the family when they gathered for that inauguration.

“We went to the White House and that’s kind of when we broke it towards the family,” Eric Trump said. “We’re so excited. It’s going to a little Trump boy entering the world in September.”
Besides being the Commander-in-Chief, Eric Trump said his father is another doting grandfather.
“He’s a great grandfather. I see it with Don’s kids and Ivanka’s kids, they’ll be at among the clubs in the weekend, and also the kids will hop on his golf cart, and he’ll have five kids hanging off the golf cart and he has his hands around them and they’re driving around. He’s really a great grandfather,” Eric Trump said.
Rogers won a Grammy award in 1980 for best male country performance for “The Gambler,” including the lyrics: “You’ve reached know when you should hold ’em / Know when you should fold ’em / Know when you should walk away / And know when to run …”
