REACTS TO FATHER’S SHOOTING IN NEW INTERVIEW: ‘THAT’S ACTUALLY A MAN WHO’S BEEN TESTED’Trump Jr. championed Vance on his father’s ticket because Vance is « an incredible America First patriot. » « I think he is someone who truly believes in that mission — he is not a Washington D.C. neocon warmonger, and I think that is so critical, » he told Fox News Digital. « I love having a young, articulate, energetic guy as someone who can help also keep this movement going for generations to come — I think that is so fundamental and so important. » Trump Jr. said he trusts Vance as « a business guy, a politician, and as someone who is probably one of the most articulate fighters against the insanity over on the other side. » « He does a better job in hostile media territory than most of our best guys do, » he said. « I think it is just so critical for the movement going forward and I think he’s going to do a great job as vice president. » Trump Jr. did not have a formal role in his father’s first administration, unlike his sister, Ivanka Trump, who served as a senior adviser.When asked if he plans to have a role in a potential second Trump administration, Trump told Fox News Digital: « No. » EXCLUSIVE: VANCE, HARRIS DISCUSS DEBATE IN ‘BRIEF AND RESPECTFUL’ FIRST PHONE CONVERSATION SINCE VP NOD »I don’t want a role in an administration — I don’t want to do that, » he said. « The only role I want is to put our people in other positions of power. I just want to stop the bad guys from ever getting in those positions of power. That’s the only thing I want. » He added: « I want to veto the RINOs. I want to have a veto power over the RINOs. That’s all I’m asking for. » Trump Jr. said he is « excited » for a potential second Trump administration. « I’m excited to this. This time, we go in, we actually know what we’re doing. We know who the snakes are. We know how to deal with the bad guys, » he said. « I think we can get up and running so quickly, and I think everyone else understands that too — which is why, I think, they have so aggressively tried prosecuting my father and going after him and attacking him and trying to bankrupt him.
