Don Jr. and Ivanka Trump have clearly been relishing in their roles as the adult children of the American president over the past three and a half years.
While Jr. has used his platform to troll liberals on social media and campaign for his father, Ivanka has been busy working as a White House advisor and positioning herself for a possible run for office in the future.
Unfortunately for both, it appears their chances of ever having any sort of career in politics after their father leaves office are slim.
A new poll finds that voters overwhelmingly reject the idea of a Trump dynasty, with 61% saying they don’t support either Don Jr. or Ivanka ever running for public office.
A paltry 16% of respondents said they would support Don Jr. if he tried for a career in politics. Among Trump supporters specifically, the number was slightly higher, with 35% saying they thought he should give it a whirl. (31% said they didn’t think it was a good idea.)
The numbers were worse for Ivanka, however. Only 31% of her dad’s supporters thought her political future was bright, and 36% said she definitely shouldn’t bother, which is interesting since, between her and Jr., she actually has more experience than him.
As for the siblings’ popularity, 43% of respondents said their opinion of Ivanka had worsened and 50% of respondents said their opinion of Don Jr. had worsened since 2016.
This is definitely not promising news for either of Trump’s offspring, as both have flirted with possibly continuing their careers in the political arena.
Last year, Don Jr. told Bloomberg Radio’s Sound On, “I see what my father’s doing, and I’m just damn proud as an American to see those results and I’m going to keep fighting for him. I won’t rule it out for myself.”
As for Ivanka, while on the campaign trail in August, Trump said he thought she would make a great president and he regularly encourages his supporters to chant “I-van-ka! I-van-ka!” whenever he talks about who’s going to be the first woman president.
One day until the election, folx!

There is absolutely no chance that either of the two criminals will ever be so near power again – except when they join their corrupt father in his large prison cell. Just looking at them makes me feel ill!

I doubt they’ll run, but jail? Probably not. Even low end big money and political secrets bury most problems. They’ve had four years to dig up the latter.

IF Trump does loose the election, the first thing on his agenda in the next week will be a pardon for himself and his entire family. He made be an idiot, but not a total imbecile, would be well aware of the target on all his family and dodgy dealings that have taken place over the past 4 years.

He can’t pardon crimes that haven’t been charged, and there is no way the democrats would be foolish enough to charge his moron kids with crimes while he’s in office. January 21st on the other hand will be WILD!!!

Really? You think there will be a prison cell in Trump’s future?

No one is worries about the daughter Trump groomed or the son he ignored while doing it

Poor Eric. He steals from a children’s charity and this article and everybody doesn’t even mention him. I foresee some bid for attention soon.

They should all be sterilised and stopped from reproducing.
Bob
How do you sterilize? Shotgun maybe?

Four years is a long time, and American memory is…SQUIRREL!
Yeah, exactly. Assuming Daddy doesn’t run again against Kamala, it’ll be some even crazier showman. Might as well be Ipumpya or the ever-weight-gaining-son.

Guys how do people feel about the Johnny Depp verdict?? I’m shocked tbh!!
Cam
It’s also very likely they are both going to jail.
Polaro
Hmmm, 100% stole my post. Hard to run from a NY prison.
wiredpup
They’ll both be in prison soon so…
missvamp
they are all on the hook for his crimes. ivanka is def on the hook for tax evasion & money laundering. i’m sure the boys will all be caught up in indictments right along with daddy too.
cuteguy
Ivanka is as fake as her notorious fake Gross Goya ad. And Jr can only get a job if his daddy gives him one.

Well, CBS has Biden with 279 electoral votes to Dump’s 163…And Uday and Qusay will fall with him. I sincerely doubt that either of them will be thought of as potential candidates once New York is done with them. They already are forbidden to ever run a charity again –that’s kind of a gentle slap on the wrist for two crooks–but slaps they are.

Maybe they shouldn’t look too far ahead. Hopefully, Jr., Eric, and Ivanka are sharing a cell with their criminal Daddy.
LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP!

He’ll be on his fifth wife by then and still a cokehead. Mayb she and Jared would have come out of the closet by then. they’re idiots

Don’t be too reassured by this. Even if Trump loses, his rabid base will be ready to jump on-board any bandwagon that will capitalise on their heroes putrid legacy. Trump now OWNS the Republican Party; it has invested all it’s political capital in Trumpism and let go of even the slightest pretence of ethics or morals. If Trump decides to anoint Don Jr or Ivanka for 2024 the Republicans will thank him obsequiously and give it their all. They have nothing else left to them.
OhHellNo
Ivanka is NOT a “White House advisor”. No one listens to her but Daddy, and all he hears is “do me.”
