Don Jr. Reveals What Role He Wants if President Trump Wins in November

Donald Trump Jr. just went into detail about the role he wants to have in President Trump’s 2nd administration.

Speaking to Fox News, Don Jr. says he doesn’t want an official position in his dad’s administration. Rather, he wants “veto power over the RINOs.”

“I don’t want a role in an administration — I don’t want to do that,” he said, “The only role I want is to put our people in other positions of power.”

“I just want to stop the bad guys from ever getting into those positions of power. That’s the only thing I want,” he added.

Don Jr. also gave his opinion of JD Vance as his father’s vice president.

Previously, Trump Jr. had said that either Tucker Carlson or JD Vance were his top choices for VP.

USA Today said:

In an interview at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, Donald Trump’s son, Don Jr., said his top choices for his father’s running mate were former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Ohio Sen. JD Vance.

When asked about Carlson’s potential political career by Axios co-founder Mike Allen, Don Jr. said he wasn’t sure Carlson wants a political career, adding he works better on the outside of things than on the inside.

“I think Tucker can do a lot more from the outside, I don’t know that he ever wants it,” Don Jr. said. “He and JD would’ve been the two people I would’ve loved to seen as a VP, but you also have to want the day job, and that’s a big part of it.”

From Fox News:

Donald Trump Jr. does not want a role in his father’s administration if the former president is re-elected in November, but he does want “veto power over the RINOs” – an acronym to describe establishment-leaning “Republicans in name only” – and to be able to “stop the bad guys” from getting into positions of power, he told Fox News Digital.

Trump Jr. said he is also excited that Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance, his father’s newly named running mate, potentially can “keep this movement going for generations to come.”

Trump Jr. spoke exclusively with Fox News Digital on Tuesday afternoon. Trump’s eldest son is set to appear on “Hannity” on Tuesday night.

Trump Jr. championed Vance on his father’s ticket because Vance is “an incredible America First patriot.”

“I think he is someone who truly believes in that mission — he is not a Washington D.C. neocon warmonger, and I think that is so critical,” he told Fox News Digital. “I love having a young, articulate, energetic guy as someone who can help also keep this movement going for generations to come — I think that is so fundamental and so important.”

Trump Jr. said he trusts Vance as “a business guy, a politician, and as someone who is probably one of the most articulate fighters against the insanity over on the other side.”

“He does a better job in hostile media territory than most of our best guys do,” he said. “I think it is just so critical for the movement going forward and I think he’s going to do a great job as vice president.”

Trump Jr. did not have a formal role in his father’s first administration, unlike his sister, Ivanka Trump, who served as a senior adviser.

When asked if he plans to have a role in a potential second Trump administration, Trump told Fox News Digital: “No.”

“I don’t want a role in an administration — I don’t want to do that,” he said. “The only role I want is to put our people in other positions of power. I just want to stop the bad guys from ever getting in those positions of power. That’s the only thing I want.”

He added: “I want to veto the RINOs. I want to have a veto power over the RINOs. That’s all I’m asking for.”
