An important purity test for nominees is whether would-be nominees support the lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 election.
Ivanka and Jared left the White House behind for a life in Miami. Eric is running the family business. Tiffany got married. Barron is a budding strategist at NYU.
In recent weeks, as President-elect Donald Trump builds his administration, his son has served as something of a loyalty scanner. As they review candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is concerned with who looks good and who can deliver a message, people around them say. It was Don Jr who saw the early threat that Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s candidacy posed to his father’s campaign, and who, allies say, tried to brainstorm ways to bring him into the fold.Since Kennedy was chosen as the nominee for Health and Human Services secretary, Don Jr has kept him close, even feeding the notoriously health-conscious Kennedy a McDonald’s burger aboard his father’s plane and then taking a picture of it.
Don Jr declined a request for an interview through a spokesperson, but others who are close to him were cleared to speak on his behalf, including Kirk. “He only weighs in when something is particularly important to him,” Kirk said, “or where he feels as if there might be something that would not be in his father’s best interest.”
A prime example of Don Jr’s typical fare appeared on his Instagram account last week, when he asserted that “biological & objectively attractive women are allowed to win beauty pageants again. WE ARE SO BACK!!!” The post drew a fire emoji from Elon Musk, the world’s-richest-man-turned-MAGA-surrogate. On Kirk’s podcast, Don Jr said that he and Musk recently spent three hours aboard the president-elect’s plane “talking about space”.
“If Nikki Haley really wants a Cabinet filled with neocon warmongers to satisfy the billionaire donors that control her, she should try running for President and winning herself,” he wrote.For a son who at times has taken pains to differentiate himself from his father, on style if not substance, he has remarked to associates that, as it turns out, he might be more like his father than he initially realised.
