Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is already looking ahead to forming his top White House team and is considering one of his sons as the head of the Interior Department.
In an interview with Petersen's Hunting, he offered both his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, as the cabinet secretary because they are hunters and anglers and members of key conservation and Second Amendment groups.
In the interview with editor Mike Schoby, Trump said that "ideally" he wants an outdoorsman to run the agency that manages federal land.
"Ideally yes, they'd be better at it," said Trump.
In the interview with his father, Donald Trump Jr. said that the Interior job has been the talk inside the family for months.
"We understand hunting as conservation," said Donald Jr. in the interview Schoby did for his magazine and its parent company, Outdoor Sportsman Group.
Donald Jr. said, "Our big inside joke over Thanksgiving and Christmas, now that this thing has become very real with the presidency, is, 'Hey Don, the only thing you'd be doing in government is actually Interior.' So I don't know if I'd be the head of it or just informing the [head], but rest assured that hunters and shooters and others know that I'd have his ear."
Both sons are long-time hunters and Donald Jr. said that he just became the youngest board member of Boone & Crockett Club, the nation's oldest hunting and conservation group founded by former President Theodore Roosevelt.
In the interview, Trump also said he would end gun free zones around military bases and local schools even if he has to "override the states" with federal laws.
And the long-time National Rifle Association members warned that Democrat Hillary Clinton wants to eliminate the Second Amendment. "I think it's going to be gone," he said, adding, "she will destroy the Second Amendment as you know it."
Oh they are plotting are they?
Are they conspiring too?
Danger Will Robinson!!
Will they forget that they are working the White House while they are working Trumpworld?
Our world is Topsy Turvy
Sister on USSC, sons in Cabinet posts. I guess Trump thinks he will turn the US into his family business.
Let’s see, family controlled countries, where have we seen that before?
This is truly a scandal.
What would Attorney General Robert Kennedy have to say about such blatant nepotism?
Nah, the USA has rules against “nepotism”.
Look it up.
Ha, ha. Trump has got you people so freaked out you’re going to blow a gasket before the convention.
JFK, RFK.
I like Greg Gutfield for White House Press Secretary.
There is a small thing called an election, boys, and Dad has
60% unfavorable rating. He may ignore it and choose to blame
others for any losses, but I wouldn’t quit the day job.
If Dad’s so smart you might caution him he needs to go after Rubio since he is a threat in NH. Maybe Dad’s not so smart after all.
Trump’s sons are running the family business.
The Bernie Madoff story was on last night, conclusion is tonight......Shades of trump to me.
So we get a gaggle of Trumps?
Hard to fathom the way Trump owns the media. Every other word is Trump. FREE!
There are a lot of folks breaking their ankles jumping on and off the bandwagon. NH will be the test to see if prognosticators are anywhere in the ball park.
If Trump is elected, he’ll give Ulysses S. Grant a run at the least experienced, most corrupt president ever.
I don’t think they can, that’s why Hilary wasn’t the Attorney General, as I recall. I believe after RFK that’s not allowed.
You know, meeting Budgets, cutting waste, eliminating overlapping bureaucracies, getting rid of Baseline Budgeting that doesn't exist in any Business Model outside of Government, that kind of stuff.
BTW - Trumps Sister was put on the Bench by a Republican President and she is way too old to be put on the SCOTUS. She also testified for Alito’s Confirmation.
Trump likes Justice's Thomas, Alito and Scalia if you're keeping score. he Those are the type of Justice's would choose.
I'm a Cruz guy first with Trump as my second choice just to let you know.
On Glenn Beck's radio show he said that Richard Dryfess told him that he considered himself an Eisenhower Republican.
So, he is now off my "Do Not Watch This Liberal" List.
