Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump recently showcased his adventurous side during a trip to Japan, leaving fans amused.
The 41-year-old businessman is in Tokyo for a shareholder meeting with Japanese bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet, as the Trump family expands its crypto ventures globally.
Before getting down to business, Eric decided to immerse himself in some local culture. He shared his sumo wrestling experience on Instagram, giving his 3 million followers a peek into his encounter with a wrestling legend.
In a series of posts, Eric shared his face-off with Yokozuna, a 34-year-old wrestling icon. Dressed in navy shorts and a pale blue button-up shirt, Eric initially held his own against Yokozuna, nearly pushing him out of the ring.
However, Yokozuna quickly turned the tables, effortlessly lifting Eric’s six-foot-five frame and carrying him out of the circle, thus winning the match, reports the Irish Star.
“Not every day you get invited to sumo the legend, Yokozuna! Almost had him! [stunned face emoji] A great honor!” Eric wrote in the caption. He additionally posted numerous videos to his Story.
Followers were clearly highly amused by Eric’s content and flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts on his newfound abilities.
One supporter quipped, “Need to build them legs up, Eric! Anyway, I visited Japan in January. The people are so kind there. I would love to go back.”
Another person wrote, “Lol. this was great! Made me laugh so much when he swung you around. Ha ha! So good to have good humor. What a fun experience!”
“[Laughing face emojis] that’s hilarious,” a third follower noted, with a fourth adding, “almost!!” seemingly referencing how Eric nearly secured victory before Yokozuna lifted him up.
“Omg I probably would get picked up too. How cool,” a fifth person confessed, while another observer remarked, “You’re not dressed the part mate,” highlighting Eric’s formal clothing choice.
