Donald Trump Threaten To Fire His Own Son During Bizzare Phone-In

President Donald Trump drew laughs at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix after joking that he might “fire” his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., during a live phone call played to the crowd.

The moment happened while Trump Jr. was speaking on stage and called his father on speakerphone. Trump thanked attendees for their support and paid tribute to Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, who was killed at a TPUSA event earlier this year.

It was Trump’s closing remarks that grabbed attention. He joked that if his son failed to represent him well, he would tell him, “You’re fired,” prompting cheers and laughter from the audience.

Trump added another playful warning, saying that if Trump Jr. didn’t give a strong speech, he would “give him hell.” The exchange was clearly lighthearted and well received in the room.

AmericaFest returned this year under increased security and emotional weight following Kirk’s death. The organization remains a major force in conservative youth politics and a key platform for Republican figures and activists.

During his speech, Trump Jr. framed the movement as bigger than the Republican Party, calling it an “America First” and “Make America Great Again” coalition rather than a traditional GOP effort.

The phone call highlighted Trump’s continued flair for showmanship and viral moments. While clearly meant as a joke, it reinforced the Trump family’s central role in the movement and the former president’s lasting influence at high-profile conservative gatherings.
