Will we EVER be rid of this scourge?
********
Three high-level sources told Mediaite that Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son and an omnipresent MAGA evangelist across the internet, is seriously considering a run for president in 2028.
Don has been the most politically involved of all the Trump kids and has always kept the lanes open for a presidential run, one White House insider and close friend of the Trump family said. He is a valued voice for his father, and a real possibility to be a contender in 2028.
Trump Jr. boasts his own loyal following, a successful show on Rumble, and a strong presence on social media with more than 14.6 million followers on X. He serves as a key advisor to his father he was credited with advocating for Trump to choose Vance as his running mate and hit the campaign trail aggressively in the run up to the 2024 election.
Don Jr. has long been a key voice in influencing cabinet picks, policy, and potential endorsements, the Trump insider said. He has also consistently been the most active on the campaign trail for the president as well as his endorsed candidates.

The father had a superb record of public service, and even he could only squeak out a single term. It seemed a long shot, at best.
We're still living with the consequences of that election a quarter century later.

(21,902 posts)I wasn't huge into politics, and voted for Gore in 2000. However, I thought both were honorable at the time. I had no idea he was this bad in 1999 and 2000 (and even 2001).
However, once I became active, I quickly learned!

I'm not terribly worried about that possibility.
