Given the track record of nepotism in winning party nominations (Clinton 2016, Romney 2012, Bush 2000, Gore 2000, Bush 1988), it does not seem like an unreasonable proposition.

2/44 of the Presidents were a son of a previous President, which (as a crude as an estimation that may be) suggests about a 5% chance.

For Trump's children, I think he's more likely than normal to be an unpopular President (hurting the chances of his children), but he's already shown a tendency to groom his children in his footsteps (his children being key figures in his businesses), plus the whole celebrity appeal and brand name thing going on probably increases the odds further. I'll say about 10%. A non-trivial percentage of that is (sadly) Trump becoming an authoritarian quasi-dictator and him conspiring to keep the Presidency in the family.

I think one of the reasons why he wants his three oldest to have top-secret security clearance is for this reason, so they can say they're qualified and have experience if they ever decide to run.

I see a lot of His subjects unhappy with Eric. Indeed, he says a lot of stupid things so I guess it shouldn't suprise me.
