“He saw it. He doesn’t need to hear it. He is smart. He doesn’t need to hear much. But he’s a good guy,” Trump told “Kayal and Company” on Philadelphia’s Talk Radio 1210 WPHT on Friday. I’ll tell you, he’s tall, but he’s a good-looking guy.”
“And he’s really been a great student,” he continued. “And he likes politics. He’s kind of funny. He sometimes tells me, ‘Dad, this is what you need to do.’”
The former president added: “He is a senior in high school and will go to college. And you know, a lot of these college choices are changing because you see what’s been happening in the last month. Biden has completely lost control of the country.”

During the convention, the party is expected to officially nominate Trump as the Republican Party’s presidential candidate, officially setting up a rematch against President Biden in November.
