Apparently, the media is trying to get everyone stirred up about a potential candidate in the 2028 election. But Donald Trump Jr. is not running for president in 2028, and he wants you to know just how stupid the media is for even suggesting it. In a classic Trump-style smackdown, he torched Mediaite and their anonymous “high-level sources” for spreading a rumor that he’s seriously considering a White House bid.
Now, let’s be real: If Don Jr. was thinking about running, the MAGA base wouldn’t exactly be upset. The guy is a firebrand, a ruthless fighter against the left, and a walking nightmare for establishment Republicans. But as he made crystal clear in his response, he’s got no plans to jump into the 2028 race—especially since he’s been one of the biggest backers of Vice President J.D. Vance.
And boy, did he let them have it in his response. Instead of playing the usual “no comment” or “I respect the process” game that most politicians do, Don Jr. fired back with a scorched-earth post on X, essentially calling the report total garbage. “Are you f***ing retarded?” he asked the Mediaite reporter who published the story. (And yes, the pearl-clutching left had a meltdown over that one.)
Trump Jr. made it clear that he went to bat for J.D. Vance to be his father’s running mate because he actually believes in the guy—not because he’s secretly setting himself up for a presidential run. And honestly, his support for Vance makes total sense. Vance is a rock-solid America First patriot, he’s won over the Trump base in record time, and unlike some other Republican names being floated for 2028 (cough DeSantis cough), he doesn’t crumble under pressure.
Speaking of 2028, the early numbers show that Vance is already a dominant force. The CPAC straw poll—a pretty reliable indicator of conservative enthusiasm—gave him a massive 61% of the vote, leaving everyone else in the dust. Steve Bannon came in a distant second with 12%, and Ron DeSantis, who spent millions trying to beat Trump in 2024 and failed spectacularly, barely scraped together 5%. That tells you everything you need to know about where the base stands.
Bottom line? The media is desperate for a new Trump-family controversy, but Don Jr. just humiliated them. He’s not running, Vance is the clear frontrunner, and the establishment better start preparing for another America First presidency in 2028.
