On Wednesday, Donald Trump Jr, the eldest son of Donald Trump, said that “the calling” to run for president was there.” He made the comments while making an appearance on the Qatar panel when a reporter asked him if after his father’s presidency was over, he would “pick up the reins.” Trump Jr. is the most influential member of his father’s family, but also the most controversial.
Trump Jr. Says The Calling Is There
“So, the answer is I don’t know, maybe one day. You know, that calling is there. I’ll always be very active in being a vocal proponent of these things,” he said. His comments referred to the ideals of his father’s “Make America Great Again” movement. Donald Trump prizes loyalty and has often relied on his family members to offer his political advice. Trump has frequently lent his ear to Trump Jr., who has helped cabinet members sink or swim. He championed J.D. Vance as the vice president and blocked former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from becoming a cabinet member.
Trump Jr. On His Dad
“I think my father has truly changed the Republican Party. I think it’s the America First party now, the MAGA party, however you want to look at it,” Trump Jr said on Wednesday at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha. “For the first time ever, the Republican Party actually has a bench of America First fighters,” he added. After being asked about running for president, he responded, “Here we go. Well… oh boy. It’s an honor to be asked and to see that some people are okay with it.” He then joked that the people clapping at his response were “the couple of people we know.”
Trump Businesses In The Gulf
Donald Trump and his family have forged several multi-million-dollar business deals in the Gulf. Those dealings have been something that the Democratic Party has said could easily open up improper pathways to influence the president.
Trump’s recent visit to Arab Gulf states, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, focused on securing business deals from the world’s most oil-rich countries. Trump said he did not discuss building a Trump Tower in Syria during his meeting with Saudi Arabian leaders. Trump added that he was unsure how the deal for an Abu Dhabi firm-backed crypto exchange that would use the Trump name for digital coins came to be.
Conclusion
Donald Trump Jr. recently made headlines for mocking former First Lady Jill Biden shortly after it became public that her husband, former President Joe Biden, had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Trump Jr. used X to ask how Dr. Jill Biden could have missed the fact that her husband had prostate cancer. He misunderstood that the doctorate in her title was for her doctorate in education from the University of Delaware. Biden is not a medical doctor.
