In order to maintain a wise grip on the Republican Base as he has weighed in the idea of him returning to the 2024 Presidential election, former president Donald Trump has raised his son, Donald Trump Jr., to an unofficial new role.
According to the multiple sources, Trump’s eldest son has emerged as one of the former president’s chief advisor. Similar to his brother-in-law, Jared Kushner, who spent much of the last four years in attempts to promote Trump from inside in the West Wing, Trump Jr. has been making sure that the things are running smooth for his father to reappear as the presidential candidate.

But his role is not limited to this, he, who has never worked in the White House, is progressively influencing his father’s political career. Notably Kushner has taken break from the politics.
Earlier this month, when Trump was furious at televised interview with Gov. Asa Hutchinson over the Arkansan Republican’s stance on transgender issue. Normally, Trump would not pay much attention to such topics as he avoided the LGBTQ issues during his presidency, we could clearly see Trump Jr.’s impact.
To the outside, it may seem odd that Trump is addressing LGBTQ topics but for his inner circle, it was quite sure who had influenced him the most.
Donald Trump Jr. through his Twitter and Instagram has made a series of statements for the expansion of transgender rights. In a tweet, Trump Jr. had written about Cece Telfer, a transgender woman, who was qualified for NCAA Women’s Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championship in 2019, that her success was a “grave injustice to so many young women”.
One of the Trump’s said that “Don has the pulse of the base and knows where the energy of the party is, so he is sort of go-to person now on a lot of political things.”
