The "Atlantic" magazine reported on October 20 about differences of opinion in the family of the President of the United States Donald Trump. His eldest son, senior vice president of the Trump Organization, Donald Trump Jr., opposed war with Iran from the first days and personally opposed his father. Two of the son's interlocutors told reporters about it. His representative declined to comment on the publication. Trump Jr. himself has not publicly spoken out against the war. On April 13, 2024, after the Iranian bombardment of Israel, he recalled on a social network how opponents predicted a full-scale war with Iran under Trump, praising his father for the absence of such a conflict. On November 6, Donald Trump, celebrating his election victory, promised to stop wars, not start them. The United States and Israel launched a military campaign against Iran on February 28, 2026. The war has been going on for almost 8 months, which the son previously mocked as a prediction by his father's opponents. For the MAGA movement, the "America First" pledge also means avoiding expensive foreign campaigns. The president told NBC in June that he never promised there wouldn't be another war and justified the strikes as necessary to stop Iran. Supporters of the forceful course accepted his explanation. Opponents of the intervention felt that the head of the White House had backed away from what he had promised. Trump Jr.'s private opposition has been rendered politically irrelevant by his public silence, leaving war opponents without an influential voice in the presidential family. An Oct. 8 poll by the Center for Research must have found that 65% of Americans disapprove of the war. Among Republicans, support for the campaign fell from 69% to 63%. Almost half of those surveyed expect hostilities to last more than a year. On November 3, the party will go to the congressional elections with a protracted war. Trump Jr. has an audience that shares his objections, but his speech will pit him against his father. The conflict also involves money. Donald Jr. manages projects for the Trump Organization, which has wealthy partners in the Gulf states.
