Donald Trump has hinted that his children, including Donald Trump Jr., may have futures in politics, though he stopped short of confirming any presidential ambitions for his eldest son. During an interview on the Pod Force One podcast, Trump praised all his kids, calling them “very smart” and highlighting their achievements. While he acknowledged Don Jr.’s political potential, he noted that his son has previously stated he has “zero interest” in running for office in 2028 or soon. Trump also commended Eric, Ivanka, Tiffany, and Barron, emphasizing their successes and love for the country.
Trump particularly highlighted Barron’s tech skills, sharing an anecdote about his 19-year-old son’s quick problem-solving abilities. Barron, who is studying at NYU’s Stern School of Business, has drawn attention for his height (6’7”) and academic pursuits. Despite speculation about his children’s political futures, Trump seemed more focused on their individual strengths, from Ivanka’s accomplishments to Tiffany’s legal education. The former president’s comments suggest his family remains influential, but their exact roles in politics remain uncertain.
