Donald Trump Jr privately opposed his father's Iran war from the start and told the president directly, two sources told The Atlantic on Tuesday, exposing a rift inside the Republican base just weeks before the November 3 midterm elections.
The president's eldest son has repeatedly pushed back on the conflict in private, including in conversations with Trump himself, the people who spoke with him said. A person close to Don Jr said he 'would never publicly break with his dad on an issue like this', while adding that no one who knows him would be surprised by his views.
