Donald Trump Threaten To Fire His Own Son During Bizzare Phone-In
During a live phone call broadcast at the Turning Point USA AmericaFest conference, former President Donald Trump jokingly threatened to fire his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. The moment occurred as Trump Jr. addressed the audience in Phoenix and placed a public call to his father.
Trump, speaking over loudspeakers, thanked attendees and honored the organization’s late co-founder, Charlie Kirk. He then delivered his punchline, stating he hoped his son was representing him well, or else, “You’re fired, Don.”
The remark elicited laughter and cheers from the crowd, recalling Trump’s famous catchphrase from “The Apprentice.” This blend of family banter and political branding highlighted the event’s theatrical nature.
AmericaFest convened under heightened security following Kirk’s shooting death in September. The conference serves as a major gathering for conservative activists and figures.
In his speech, Trump Jr. argued the movement now represents an “America First” party, distinct from the traditional GOP. He criticized both Democrats and establishment Republicans, or “RINOs.”
The event featured other viral moments, including an appearance by rapper Nicki Minaj with Kirk’s widow. Minaj mistakenly referred to Vice President JD Vance as “the assassin” before abruptly stopping.
The phone call allowed the former president to assert his presence remotely, reinforcing his central role within the movement. The staged exchange underscored how political messaging and entertainment remain closely intertwined in Trump’s public persona.
