“Do I want to be behind the scenes and be a mouthpiece and fight back against crazy liberal media? Maybe.” Don Jr. reportedly said. “Going back to doing deals is boring after 18 months. The politics bug bit me.”
According to a guest, Don Jr. said he doesn’t have much interest in the Senate or House of Representatives and feels that the governor’s mansion would suit him.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Don Jr. mused that once his kids were grown he could run for office.
“Maybe when the kids get out of school I would consider it,” Don Jr. said.
A Trump spokesman denied that Don. Jr. has any interest in running for office in a statement to the New York Post.
“Don [Jr.] has no intentions of running for political office at this time . . . [He] is totally focused on running the Trump Organization with his brother.”
