The article is well written but, for me, was disappointing. The title is “Is Donald Trump Jr. Running for President.” I understand the author doesn’t write the title, but the question is the only thing that, for me, made the article worth reading. Sadly, we must wait until the very end to learn anything about Don Jr.’s possible intentions. In fairness to the author, my sense is the article isn’t really about Don Jr; it’s about the future of MAGA and the type of people who subscribe to that political movement.
My sense of Trump is he’s too narcissistic to pass the baton to anyone, even his own son, and Don Jr. seems too much of a lightweight to be president. DeSantis is the guy I’d vote for; a true conservative with the experience to get things done.
Do you think that is the most interesting thing to talk about? Firstly, no-one actually knows whether he will stand, including probably Donald J Trump himself, so any comment about that would be pure speculation. And he will become too old at some point if not in 2024; this could be (yet another!) weakness if he does stand and the Democrats have the sense to pick a younger and more dynamic candidate, especially given the Republicans have made such an issue of Biden’s dodderiness. I hope that a much more formidable and less chaotic candidate is picked by the Republicans in 2024 than Trump.
I agree that this is De Santis’ moment to seize, and I see no reason why he wouldn’t. There are rumors that he is already talking to big donors, and I’m sure the Trumps know that. Personally, I think Trump Sr. will be too old in 2024 and Trump Jr. will be too inexperienced – better to run for a Senate seat for now.

I found the article very interesting. I voted for Trump twice, but I would never attend a rally or buy–no less wear– a Trump t-shirt. I think the MAGA movement is indeed evolving. I have seen a shift to some using America First to describe those who may support the policies but not necessarily the Ultra MAGA King himself. DeSantis certainly has his admirers, but I wonder if he would actually challenge Trump. Don Jr., I had not considered, but it’s thought provoking.

Can you imagine anyone wearing a t-shirt with “Ultra Biden” on it?
Some of the corpses in my family wouldn’t be seen dead in one.

From a South African point of view I found this interesting…. I could get the flavour of the event. Not my thing, but I guess I would still back this crazy mob to oust the even more evil crazies in power.
I’d like to see Donald Trump Jr. challenge Chuck Schumer for his Senate seat in 2024. Trump Jr. needs more experience and needs to collect more chits before he goes for the top job. He’s only 44; he has time. Schumer will be 72 and will probably be fighting off a primary challenge from the left, potentially from AOC.

Thanks. We hope your countryman will do the job.
They are way too inefficient.
