Donald Trump Jr. “wants to run for political office, telling members of an elite gun club that he could set his sights on becoming governor of New York,” the New York Post reports.
Said one guest: “Don Jr. said he is interested in running for office, such as governor of New York, but the position of mayor of New York would be less interesting to him.”
Trump himself reportedly said: “Going back to doing deals is boring after 18 months. The politics bug bit me.”
