Ever since Donald Trump became a serious contender for the presidency, fans and detractors alike have put a new focus on his family.
The Trumps are, for the most part, all involved in the Trump Organization, and are each successful businessmen in their own right. And while the media has speculated about a political future for Ivanka Trump, we’re now learning that another Trump is thinking about just that!

Donald Trump Jr. was visiting a gun club in New York, and dropped a bombshell on his audience:
“Don Jr. said he is interested in running for office, such as governor of New York, but the position of mayor of New York would be less interesting to him,” one of the meeting’s attendees told Page Six.
Trump Jr. reportedly said returning to business became “boring” after joining his father on the presidential campaign trail.
“The politics bug bi[t] me,” he said, according to the report.
Trump Jr. did not specify when he would consider a run for the spot. Current Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is a vocal opponent of the president, is up for reelection in 2018.

I doubt Trump Jr. will run as soon as 2018. When Donald became President, he turned over the keys of the Trump Organization to his sons Donald Jr. and Eric. Obviously, running a multi-billion dollar empire takes a lot of focus and attention. Then again, Donald Sr. ran the company while running for president.
Jr. has been in the public eye defending his father and taking on liberals. He made headlines for his hilarious response to Rachel Maddow’s tax return flub:
Thank you Rachel Maddow for proving to your #Trump hating followers how successful @realDonaldTrump is & that he paid $40mm in taxes! #Taxes

California is totally out of control. People are leaving this “once” to be a great state, taxes are at an all time high, our second amendment is being taken away, now the bleeding liberals in Sacramento, want to make this a Sanctuary State. We need the help and the direction that Donald Jr or any other Trump can provide.
He’s got the chops. But Deep Blue New York?
Dennis, I couldn’t agree more. When I see the Libtards in distress, I know we’re on the right track. DTJ is on the way! GO TRUMP!
Why New York? Why Not Florida? Governor Scott is term limited out in 2018. There is talk of Scott running for Nelson’s Senate seat, which I believe he could win easily. Now if you have DT Jr. and Scott on the ticket, it could be a win win for the State and country. Now Ivanka running against Coumo? First Women Governor of NY? I think she could beat Little Andy Coumo like a drum!
I hope the Trumps do run for political office,anything that gives the libs heartburn gives me a woody.
Suits me to see Donald Jr run for governor of New York.. I do not live there but I would certainly vote for him if I did.. Anything is better than a liberal democrat!!
Problem with New York is, due to New York City and it’s corrupt system, Trump will start about 1 million votes in the hole right our of the shute!~ Just ask Rudy Giuliani! And it is far worse now!
GREAT! It’s about time we had some YOUNG, conservative leaders run for office. We’ll help you, go for it, Don, Jr.
