Donald Trump Senior Says Donald Trump Junior Won’t Run for Mayor of NYC

Donald Trump Sr. seems to be denying Donald Trump Jr. the chance to run for mayor of New York City. Following his speech in the Republican National Convention, Trump Jr. was asked if he would try to become Mayor of New York City.

“I never like to rule anything out. As my father has always said, I want to— we always like to keep our options open. So if I can do that as a service to our country I’d love to do it,” he said on CNN on Sunday.

While Trump Jr. seemed excited about the possibility, Trump Sr. completely ruled it out. In an interview with Sean Hannity last night, Trump said that it would be nearly impossible to win as a Republican in New York.

“Don’s not going to run for mayor. No, he has no intention of doing that. He wouldn’t want to do that. And as a Republican in New York City. Well, he’ll leave it open. Running for mayor of New York City — all right, I don’t see that happening. I don’t think that’ll happen. But he’s doing — he’s a very natural guy — he spoke like he’s been doing that all his life,” Trump told Hannity, according to the Washington Post.
