Fox News host Brian Kilmeade was taken with President Donald Trump’s son, Don Jr., after a Fox and Friends interview Wednesday morning.

“Clearly, he’d have a great political future should he ever run,” Kilmeade said after bidding Trump Jr. goodbye.

“He might not want to do it,” cohost Ainsley Earhardt chimed in. “Is it worth it?”

“I don’t know,” Kilmeade chuckled wryly. “That’s a great question, Ainsley.”

Trump Jr. spent much of his interview praising his father’s State of the Union speech and bashing Democrats for, he claimed, modeling themselves on Venezuelan socialists.

“They need Americans to have to look to government for everything. That is what they’re pushing. That is what they want,” Trump Jr. said of Democrats. “That is why they can’t fathom the notion of capitalism being the greatest system ever established. It has worked for this country. It put people on the moon!”

    If he weren’t such a dick, wasn’t a member of the most unpopular family in the country, had half a brain, did I say wasn’t such a dick? Basically if he were someone else entirely he’d have a great political future.

  3. Maybe after he flees to Russia…

  4. Capitalism “put people on the moon”? Was that soon after Capitalism built the Interstate highway system, landed on the beaches of Normandy and implemented the Depression-era affordable housing program that Fred Trump defrauded to make his millions?
