The Democrats are "trying to milk" the coronavirus pandemic for every election advantage they can get over President Trump, the president's son, Eric Trump, said Saturday night.

"It's sad," Trump told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro on "Justice with Judge Jeanine." "My father as commander-in-chief has one of the hardest decisions I think any president in history has had," regarding whether to reopen the U.S. economy, and to what extent, Trump said.

"You have to weigh the safety of the public versus, you know, our economy and opening up America," he explained. "We are the economic powerhouse of the entire world, Jeanine. And, you know, he's got to weigh that. But America does have to get back to work and Americans also want to get back to work."
