President-elect Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of his family becoming a dominant, long-term force in U.S. politics after his presidency ends.

In a recent interview with TIME magazine, Trump praised his children and daughter-in-law for their roles in the 2024 campaign, suggesting that their involvement could pave the way for a political dynasty, as the New York Post reports.

In the TIME interview, Trump was asked about the future of his family in politics. He responded by suggesting that the family could indeed form the next political dynasty, saying, "I think there could be, yeah." His comments came after discussing the support his family provided during his 2024 campaign and their competence in various roles.

Trump specifically singled out his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, as well as Eric's wife, Lara Trump. He described Donald Trump Jr. as a "very capable guy" and mentioned that he believed Don Jr. would do well in certain areas. He also acknowledged Eric as "very capable" but pointed out that he is a "very different type" compared to his brother.

Trump Praises Lara Trump’s Political Work

Lara Trump was also praised for her contributions to the campaign. Donald Trump referred to her as "amazing" and highlighted her work as co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC).

He noted that her leadership had helped mitigate what he described as "breathtaking" cheating during the campaign. He added, "We got it down to a minimum," in reference to the RNC's efforts.

Trump hinted at Lara's potential political future, suggesting she could run for Florida's Senate seat in the future.

Lara Trump recently announced plans to step down from her RNC role and expressed openness to the idea of replacing Marco Rubio as a senator from Florida, should Gov. Ron DeSantis appoint her. Donald Trump seemed to encourage this idea, calling her a "young woman" who did an exceptional job leading the Republican Party.

Ivanka’s Family Focus and Political Future

While discussing his other children, Trump mentioned Ivanka Trump, who has largely stayed out of the political spotlight in recent years.

He praised Ivanka as a potential "superstar" in politics but explained that her family-focused nature made it harder for her to pursue a political career. Trump said, "She’s so family-oriented, Ivanka, and I understand that also -- it makes it more difficult."

Although Trump did not mention his youngest son, Barron Trump, he did briefly acknowledge his interest in politics. Barron, who is currently studying at New York University, has been a topic of speculation, with some supporters believing he could follow in his father's political footsteps.

Despite Barron's growing popularity among some Trump supporters, the president-elect did not offer any details about his future involvement in politics.

Family Legacy and Future Political Roles

Trump's remarks about his children and their political prospects reflect his confidence in their abilities and his belief that they could continue the family legacy in public office. While the idea of a Trump political dynasty is still speculative, these comments highlight the family's ongoing influence in Republican politics.

The president-elect's praise for his family came at a time when many are closely watching the future of the Republican Party, especially after the upcoming 2024 elections. If any of Trump's children pursue political office, they would likely face a wave of public scrutiny and political challenges, but their names carry significant weight within the party.

The Trump family's influence on U.S. politics appears poised to continue, with several members potentially taking on prominent roles in the future.

The Future of the Trump Family in Politics

With the 2024 election season in full swing, the Trump family remains an integral part of the Republican Party's strategy.

Whether or not they establish a political dynasty in the coming years will depend largely on their ability to navigate the challenges of U.S. politics and the evolving political landscape.

Trump's comments suggest that, for now, he views his family as capable and ready for future leadership. As the campaign season progresses, their roles will continue to evolve, and it remains to be seen how far their political ambitions may go.
