Donald Trump Jr: I Basically Have Zero Contact With My Father

Donald Trump Jr. spoke at a Republican fundraising event Saturday night in Texas, praising his father's progress as president and updating those in attendance of the personal difficulties life in the White House has on their relationship, according to NBC News.

"I basically have zero contact with him at this point," Trump Jr. told the Republican attendees.

He took over his father's business in January after months of campaigning throughout the country.

"I thought I was out of politics after Election Day and [would] get back to my regular life and my family," Trump Jr. said. "But I couldn't.

"I saw on TV that [Cruz] had had dinner with my father earlier this week," Trump Jr. told the crowd. "Now I don't even know if I have to deliver a punch line to that. But it's sort of ironic."

He said he's seen more take place in the last two months than he saw in the last two terms.
