In a recent conversation with the Daily Mail, Donald Trump, the potential Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, expressed his thoughts on the involvement of his family in his forthcoming campaign.
The former President's comments shed light on his concerns about the political landscape and his family's role in it.
According to The Post Millennial, when questioned about the likelihood of former First Lady Melania Trump making more appearances during his campaign, Trump responded, "well, I would like to. Its not a question of that. Its a nasty world for me." He further elaborated, "Its not nasty for Democrats like it is for me. And I would like to have my family not have to go out there and go in front of some of the things that you know happen."
Trump's comments underscore his belief that his family, particularly Melania, has been treated unfairly. He stated, "shell do whatever necessary. But my kids havent been treated properly. She hasnt been treated properly." These statements reflect his concern for his family's wellbeing amidst the harsh political climate.
In the interview, Trump also touched on the role of his youngest son, Barron, in his campaign. The 18-year-old has been instrumental in helping Trump connect with a younger demographic through online platforms and influencers, a strategy Trump referred to as "thanks to his own, in-house expert on Gen Z." Trump praised Barron's knowledge of the digital world, saying, "Adin Ross, you know, I mean, I do some people that I wasn't so familiar with, different generation. He knows every one of them. And we've had tremendous success."
Barron's influence has been evident in Trump's campaign, with the Kick livestream hosted at Mar-a-Lago garnering over 580,000 live viewers at its peak, making it the third most concurrently viewed stream on the platform in 2024. Trump also made an appearance on Barrons favorite podcast, This Past Weekend with Theo Von.
Trump's efforts to reach younger voters and close the polling gap with Kamala Harris in the 18-29 demographic have been significantly aided by Barron's understanding of digital platforms. Trump acknowledged this, saying, "We did three unusual I don't know what you'd call them, but it's a platform with three people that I don't know, but three people that Barron knows very well."
However, Trump's concerns for his family's safety were heightened following the assassination attempt at the Butler rally in July. He expressed his worries, stating, "My kids gave up so much, and all they did is get accused of Russia, Russia, Russia and all these hoaxes, you know, misinformation, disinformation. I don't want them to be hurt by the horrible things that Democrats are willing to do."
This interview offers a glimpse into Trump's campaign strategy and his concerns for his family's safety in the political arena. It also highlights the significant role that digital platforms and younger generations play in shaping the political landscape.
