Shapiro Roasts Junior On Potential WH Bid: “Just No!”

“Apparently Donald Trump Jr. is now hinting that he wants to run for president at some point in the future. I’m just gonna put it out there right now. No. No! Dynasties are un-American. They are not good. George W after George H W was not great for the country. The idea of Michelle Obama for Barack Obama, not great for the country. The idea of Hillary Clinton for Bill Clinton, not great for the country. No.

“We elected Donald Trump for a reason, but connection with President Trump’s name does not mean that you should be president of the United States. President Trump ran against dynasties when he opposed Jeb Bush in 2016. This is literally one of his leading gambits, was attacking Jeb Bush for being part of a political dynasty.

“Why the American obsession with political dynasties? And that’s not a critique of Donald Trump Jr. as a person or as a future politician — that’s just a reality that dynasties in American politics are typically bad. Kennedy dynasties, Bush dynasties, none of this is good.

“And when you combine that with the fact that many of the organizations that Donald Trump Jr. is connected to are making an enormous amount of money during this period of time when his father is president, which raises awkward questions, certainly, about Trump administration policy ranging from Trump memecoin to World Liberty Financial to gigantic real estate deals in Qatar, none of this is an amazingly good look.” – Ben Shapiro.
