Donald Trump Jr. gives 'scary' response when asked if he would run for president

Democratic voters have been left horrified by a response Donald Trump's son gave this week when asked about a potential presidency campaign for himself in the near future.

During an appearance at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha earlier today (21 May), Donald Jr. - the politician's eldest son, whom he shares with late wife Ivana - was quizzed about this father's current rule over the White House.

As viewers had expected, it didn't take long for the 47-year-old businessman to begin gushing over the Republican leader's hotly debated policies and controversial new executive orders.

The conversation then turned to the future of the Oval Office, with the father-of-four being asked by a presenter at the event: "After President Trump steps down, would you consider picking up the reins? Would you run for office?"

Laughing, Don Jr. replied: "Here we go. Well, oh boy.

"Well, it's an honour to be asked that and an honour to see that some people are okay with it."

After the presenter then jibed that the majority of said individuals are likely members of their own team sitting in the front row, Don Jr. became serious, adding of the prospect of presidency: "You never know. You know, right now, this [Trump Organisation] has been my focus.

"I think it's not just about government. It's also about, you know, the business sector doing that. I think when we saw again that the woke ideology has taken over corporate America for the last decade or so, being on the forefront of combating that insanity, I think is fundamentally important."

The President's eldest son then continued his somewhat nonsensical explanation: "I think those two things go hand-in-hand. So, the answer is, I don't know.

"Maybe one day that calling is there.

"I'll always be very active in terms of being a vocal proponent of these things."

He added of Trump: "I think my father has truly changed the Republican party. I think it's the America First party now - the MAGA Party, however you want to look at it."

After footage of Don Jr.'s response subsequently went viral online, thousands of left-wing leaners expressed their dismay at the prospect of another member of the Trump family attaining presidential power.

One critic described the notion as 'freaking scary', whilst another jibed: "Just what the country needs… said no one."

"Absolutely not. Heck, NO!" a third penned online.

"If I may speak on behalf of the entire universe: No," another went on.
