After Donald Trump Jr. slammed Democrats for being anti-capitalist in an interview with Fox & Friends Wednesday, co-host Brian Kilmeade claimed that the president’s son would have “a great political future should he ever run.” Trump Jr. used his time on Fox & Friends to laud his father’s State of the Union speech and attack congressional Democrats, according to a recap from Talking Points Memo. “They need Americans to have to look to government for everything.

It has worked for this country. It put people on the moon!” After Don Jr.’s segment ended, Kilmeade was clearly impressed. “Clearly, he’d have a great political future should he ever run,” the host said. “He might not want to do it,” co-host Ainsley Earhardt noted. “Is it worth it?”
