Don Jr 2028?
Would Don Jr consider a run for the White House in 2028? I'm Tomi Lahren, find out next. President Trump has denied he would somehow seek re-election in 2028 after his two terms in the White House conclude, but what about his son Don Jr? At the Qatar Economic Forum, he was asked that very question and his response wasn't necessarily definitive. He alluded to a calling 'one day.' He followed up those comments on X by making it crystal clear he has no intention of running in 2028 or anytime soon, but isn't ruling it out 'down the line.' That is welcome news to many die hard Trump supporters who would love to see the Trump legacy and MAGA agenda live on. After all, the family is full of rising stars including Don Jr but also Eric, Ivanka, Lara and even young Barron! While no one will ever be Donald J Trump, I firmly believe the MAGA movement is here to stay. I personally favor Marco Rubio or Ron DeSantis for 2028 but the good news is, our bench is full of All-Stars! The Democrats CANNOT say the same! Let's Keep America Great!

Trump Is Immensely Vulnerable
How can Americans best defend their democracy from their president? In my last column, I recounted three lessons from other countries where popular movements have made headway challenging authoritarian rulers. Critics of President Trump have frankly been fairly ineffective — witness his election and the way his approval ratings have risen in some polls lately — but Trump does give us a great deal to work with. He is immensely vulnerable. Drawing upon these lessons from my last column, here are what I see as the most promising lines of attack for his critics: Trump is deeply corrupt. All presidents are accused of shady practices: Remember that President Barack Obama was said to have diminished the presidency by wearing a tan suit. But Trump is a felon who is using his office to enrich himself as no president has in history. The Times reported that more than $2 billion has flowed to Trump companies in just a month, and some of his ventures look alarmingly like opportunities for influence-peddling. How else do we explain his announcement that the biggest investors in his new cryptocurrency memecoin, $TRUMP, would get dinner with him? Some guests flew in from overseas for the dinner, held Thursday, and acknowledged earlier that they hoped to influence Trump and his administration's policy on financial regulation. The Trump family started a different cryptocurrency outfit, World Liberty Financial, that received a $2 billion investment from the United Arab Emirates. Don Jr. is also starting a members club in Washington, with a $500,000 charge to join. And Saudi Arabia and Qatar are investing in Trump businesses, putting money in family bank accounts. Meanwhile, Trump is using the government to help his pal Elon Musk (who even knew that the world's richest man was needy?). The White House South Lawn was turned into a temporary showroom for Tesla vehicles in March, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urged people to 'buy Tesla' stock, and American embassies reportedly have pushed impoverished countries to grant regulatory approvals for Musk's Starlink system. Trump is hurting you in the pocketbook. One reason Trump won the presidency was voter resentment at inflation and economic weakness under Joe Biden. Now it's Trump who is badly damaging the economy and hitting voters in the wallet. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Trump Jr says 'maybe one day' he'll run for U.S. President
The eldest son of U.S. President Donald Trump, Don Jr, said on Wednesday (May 21, 2025) he could run for President "maybe one day", after previously denying he was considering a White House bid. Asked during a forum in Doha if he would consider entering a presidential race to succeed his father, Don Jr first chuckled before suggesting it was possible. "It's an honour to be asked and an honour to see that some people are OK with it," he said during a panel discussion at Bloomberg's Qatar Economic Forum as some in the audience applauded. "You never know," he added. Donald Trump Jr, 47, is an executive Vice-President at The Trump Organisation, his family's luxury real estate conglomerate, and a vocal proponent of his father's political agenda. In March, left-leaning website Mediate reported that Don Jr was "seriously considering a run for President in 2028", which he denied at the time. But on Wednesday, Don Jr did not rule out a White House run. "I don't know, maybe one day, you know, that calling is there," he told the Bloomberg forum. "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," he added. The Trump Organization has been run by the President's two eldest sons, Don Jr and Eric, since his 2016 election win. While the President no longer holds an executive title, he has retained his stake in the family business via a trust.

Donald Trump Jr says on running for president: ‘that calling is there'
By Andrew Mills and Federico Maccioni During an appearance on a panel in Qatar, the 47-year-old was asked by a moderator if he would run and 'pick up the reins' after his father leaves office. 'So the answer is I don't know, maybe one day. You know, that calling is there. I'll always be very active in terms of being a vocal proponent of these things,' he said, referring to the ideals of the 'Make America Great Again' movement his father has built. Donald Trump Jr has emerged as a political force in his own right. Reuters reported in November that he was the most influential Trump family member in the transition as his father built the most controversial cabinet in modern U.S. history. Trump, who fiercely prizes loyalty, has long relied on family members for political advice, but which relative has his ear is known to vary. Don Jr, as the president's eldest son is known, helped cabinet contenders sink or rise to the fore – from championing now-Vice President JD Vance as Trump's running mate to blocking former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from joining the cabinet, sources have said. '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,' Don Jr said, speaking at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha on Wednesday. 'For the first time ever, the Republican Party actually has a bench of America First fighters,' he added. Speaking alongside 1789 Capital founder Omeed Malik, Trump's initial reaction to the question was: 'Here we go. Well… oh boy,' to faint applause from the audience as he added, 'it's an honour to be asked and an honour to see that some people are okay with it.' He joked that the people clapping were 'the couple of people we know'. Don Jr is a partner in 1789 Capital. He said on Wednesday at the same event that the Trump Organization, where he is executive vice president, was not doing business with government entities. The Trump family has forged multi-billion dollar business deals in the Gulf, moves that Democrats and other critics say could open pathways to improperly influence the president. The U.S. president's visit to Arab Gulf states Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates last week focused on securing major business deals from the oil-rich countries, but the president said there was no talk of building a Trump Tower in Syria or golf during his meetings in Saudi Arabia. He also said he did not know how the deal for a firm backed by the Abu Dhabi government to use the Trump family company's digital coins for a $2 billion investment in a crypto exchange came about.
