Donald Trump Jr. slammed claims by Sen. Bob Corker R-Tenn., that the Republican Party was becoming a "cult-like situation" as it relates to President Donald Trump.
Trump Jr. made his remarks during an interview Thursday on TV’s "Fox & Friends."
"I think that is ridiculous," he said. "If it’s a cult, it’s because they like what my father is doing. You see real Americans actually winning for a change…conservatives actually getting things done."
The president’s son also lashed out on Twitter about Corker’s comments.
Corker had said on Wednesday: "We are in a strange place. I mean, it’s almost… it’s becoming a cultish thing, isn’t it?" It’s not a good place for any party to end up with a cult-like situation as it relates to a president that happens to be, purportedly, of the same party."
Trump Jr. said Americans support his father.
"Americans want to see someone with conviction, not just talk about it with great sound bites and then when it comes game time they sit there and fold," he said. "They want someone who is going to be like my father and fight and actually want to win. How about actually want to win elections?"
Trump Jr. took time out to wish his father a happy 72nd birthday.
"Happy birthday, dad. I love you very much. You’re getting absolutely no presents because I figured five grandchildren is enough."
And he added: "What do you get the most powerful guy in the world? Anything is going to be a letdown."
