Donald Trump Jr says the 'calling is there' for him to run for president ( from the voices in his head? )

Donald Trump Jr says the ‘calling is there’ for him to run for president (The Independent)

Donald Trump Jr has hinted that he could run for the presidency himself in future, saying “maybe one day” it will happen and acknowledging “that calling is there.”

Speaking at the Qatar Economic Forum on Wednesday, Trump Jr, 47, the current executive vice president of the Trump Organization, was asked about the extent of his interest in attempting to succeed his father in the White House by Bloomberg moderator Joumanna Nasr Bercetche.

“Here we go. Well… oh boy,” he chuckled in response as members of the audience applauded, before adding: “It’s an honour to be asked and an honour to see that some people are OK with it.

They have proven that. I always thought it was a fantasy that the GOP rid themselves of the Trumps now. They will keep sucking the party dry. They had their chance and Mitch didn't vote for impeachment. Now the party and America are stuck with the shitshow.

And the people of this once-great nation have become sufficiently stupid and lazy to vote for him. Assuming we're still allowed to have meaningful elections in 7 years, they won't even need to cheat anymore. They've identified and motivated a plurality coalition that votes for Donald Trump , although expecting that support to trickle down on DJTJ might be stretching it, given that he's got nowhere near the latent celebrity status of his disgusting father.
