In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Donald Trump Jr. expressed concerns about consultants and donors working for opponents challenging his father for the GOP nomination. He accused them of attempting to prolong the primary rather than consolidating support to defeat President Joe Biden. Trump Jr. criticized consultants for making significant profits from billionaire donors funding candidates like Nikki Haley, alleging that they aim to extend the primary to continue earning money even after their candidate exits the race.
Trump Jr. played down expectations for his father in New Hampshire following his substantial win in the Iowa caucuses. He claimed that Democrats are attempting to sabotage President Trump's victory by urging their voters to support Nikki Haley. Trump Jr. asserted that major Democrat mega-donors are funding Haley's campaign to create a significant margin against President Trump. However, he expressed confidence that once the primaries reach South Carolina, they will defeat Haley decisively in her home state, ending her candidacy.

After the caucuses, Trump Jr. plans to attend the commencement of a new trial in New York City, centered on a defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll. Carroll accused the former president of a decades-old rape allegation. Trump Jr. appeared unfazed by the legal challenges, suggesting that they are beneficial due to their absurdity. He criticized the allegations as ridiculous and insinuated that they are part of the opposition's plot to deceive the public.
In addition to the primaries and trials, Trump Jr. took a dig at the Democrats, highlighting their united front and ample funding. He emphasized the challenges of facing a well-funded Democratic party, suggesting that they consistently work against the GOP. Despite the alleged plots by the Democrats, the Trumps appear unfazed, asserting their readiness to confront any obstacles that come their way.
