Exclusive: Donald Trump Jr. Considering a Run For President in 2028
Source: Mediaite

The ease with which Trump threw his vice president under the bus came as a shock to observers who expected Vance to carry on the MAGA torch when Trump leaves office in 2028.
But it came as little surprise to several in Trumps inner circle, who spoke with Mediaite on condition of anonymity and said the remarks reflected the presidents desire to keep his dynasty alive past the expiration of his own second term in the White House.
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.

The reference to Trump throwing Vance under the bus is to Trump telling Fox News "No" last month when asked if he views Vance as his successor.

Junior, then Barron, then the spawn of one of them. There will be no term limits so it can go on for decades.

(10,307 posts)Junior might run, but he won't be able to keep the masses enthralled, same as JD Couchbanger.
The cult of MAGA will die with the Fascist Felon. Oh, it might still nominally exist, but a cult needs a Supreme Leader, & neither Junior nor Hillbilly Vanilli has that kind of salesmanship or ability to sway a crowd.

Slimebucket jr. cant get out of his own way. I also think once Felon 1s playtime in the oval dumpster is done 3 years 10 months or sooner if the article 25 kicks in MAGAts will begin to stroll off the cliff of go get fd MTG, et al, and a GOP not interested in anything that says trump on it will roll in.

(6,761 posts)Every MAGA-aligned sycophantic media outlet + the hollow remains of more mainstream coverage will sing his praises in unison. And employ every sophisticated means of persuasion to make him look presidential.
They will make him look great to the average 'Murican. Those of us who know better? Portrayed as un-American extremists.
Abstractartist
(450 posts)His plan is to enact somewhat useless executive orders, only to let the courts decide. He thinks he will not be the blame when they get turned over or dismissed. Then he can say to is MAGAt base
see, I tried, but those damn libs.
Stick together, pressure, pressure, pressure our democratic leaders to hold town halls in republican areas to show what is what. Keep pushing for changes and donate if you can. Not just to politics, but free clinics, homeless shelters, dog and pet shelters, food pantries, this all will help anyone who got totally fd by this administration.
