Trump Jr. is far more likely than his siblings to use Twitter to attack Democrats, according to a USA TODAY analysis.
Trump Jr.'s bomb-throwing is especially noticeable in his social media feed. The president's eldest son is far more likely than his siblings to use Twitter to attack Democrats, according to a USA TODAY analysis of nearly 4,500 tweets from the Trump family. He has referenced Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, for instance, in 8 percent of the tweets to his 4.4 million followers since Oct. 1. That's a higher share than all of his siblings combined.
Ivanka Trump, who has been a more sporadic presence on the campaign trail in 2020, has focused heavily on her efforts inside the White House on workforce development, rarely wading into politics at all on social media. While Trump Jr. shares memes like one of Romney with a “Mom Jeans” caption, Ivanka Trump is more likely to post images of her official trips overseas on behalf of the administration, or of her children.
Dianne Bystrom, a former director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University, said some of the president’s adult children have been fulfilling a campaign role more typically handled by a first lady. So far in the 2020 cycle, Melania Trump has been less active on the campaign trail than many of her recent predecessors, including Michelle Obama and Laura Bush.
“If you want star power, add the Trump name and you automatically have it,” said Jason Miller, who was a senior aide on the president’s 2016 campaign. Trump Jr., who published a New York Times best seller last year, is among Republican voters’ top picks for the nomination in 2024, according to a poll for the news site Axios last month. Ivanka Trump also made the list, along with Vice President Mike Pence.

Don Jr. Enjoys Killing Endangered Things Like Sheep and Our DemocracyDonald Trump Jr., is a sniveling little daddy’s boy with greasy hair and a remarkably perplexing body composition that reminds me of a Stretch Armstrong doll that has been left in the sun for an entire summer. When he’s not spending his time getting his ass handed to him by the women of the The View or ripping off queer people of color for content on Twitter, you can probably find him somewhere polishing a gun, or shooting a gun, or dreaming about polishing or shooting a gun. The boy loves guns. Or, at least, he likes them a lot. I don’t know if love is a trait that can be associated with anyone in the Trump family. But if it could, Don Jr. and guns would probably be the closest it would get.\n
