31 分钟This is The Guardian. Hello, Jonathan Friedland here,
host of The Guardian's Politics Weekly America podcast.
Has Donald Trump been quietly building a political dynasty to rival that of the Kennedys?
That's the question I'll be answering in a new three-part special series launching on July the 21st.
Why did Ivanka and Jared step back from political life?
Is Don Jr. an obvious successor?
Or could the silent, MAGA favorite, Barron, be the dark horse?
Every Monday for three weeks,
I'll be speaking to the people who spent time with members of Donald Trump's family,
getting their take on who helped him get to the White House and who might take over once he leaves.
There is competition not only between the potential successors to Trump,
but like Trump himself and his potential successors.
We'll get into all of that in Is Trump Building a Political Dynasty?
starting with episode one on Monday, July the 21st.
