Donald Trump Jr. is no longer ruling out a run for the White House.

At a panel discussion during Bloomberg�s Qatar Economic Forum on Wednesday, the eldest son of President Donald Trump offered his most suggestive comments yet about a possible presidential bid. When asked whether he could see himself running to succeed his father, Trump Jr., 47, smiled and paused before responding: �You never know.�

�It�s an honor to be asked and an honor to see that some people are OK with it,� he said to scattered applause from the audience. �I don�t know, maybe one day, you know, that calling is there.�

The comments marked a subtle but significant shift for the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, who has long been one of his father�s most vocal and aggressive political surrogates. Though Don Jr. previously denied reports that he was eyeing a 2028 campaign � calling a March report �fake news� � his remarks on Wednesday added fuel to speculation that the Trump political dynasty could extend into another generation.

Don Jr. used the forum to double down on the �America First� ethos that has come to define modern Republican politics under his father�s influence. �I think my father has truly changed the Republican Party,� he said. �I think it�s the America First party now � the MAGA party, however you want to look at it.�

The Trump Organization has been co-led by Don Jr. and his younger brother Eric since their father�s 2016 election. While Donald Trump stepped away from executive responsibilities, he has retained his financial interest in the family business through a trust.

  1. Such nepotism is un-American. Note how well it went with Hilary. If wants a political career, he should start by running for something lower (e.g. if was elected Governor or Senator of New York, that would establish him politically).
