Donald Trump Jr. has inked a seven-figure podcasting deal with YouTube rival Rumble, a rapidly growing conservative platform that focuses on free-speech.
The lucrative, multiyear podcast deal was first reported Tuesday by Axios, and would see Trump Jr, 44, become one of the highest-paid podcasters on earth.
Titled 'Triggered with Don Jr,' the podcast will air twice a week, and will reportedly feature the eldest Trump scion's takes on the news of the day.
The show will also feature interviews with various guests, and premieres on January 23. The 44-year-old firebrand has already amassed a pronounced following on the site, where he regularly posts videos that riff on current events.

Aside from being valued at 'seven figures' - meaning Trump Jr will make an annual salary of at least $1million - Axios did not disclose specifics on the new deal, other than that Rumble is open to expanding on the already agreed-upon airings if the show is well-received.
DailyMail.com reached out to Trump Jr's camp Tuesday for further details on the bombshell signing - which would see the conservative activist join a growing list of outspoken figures to flock to the platform, including Alex Jones and Russell Brand.
The deal, if legitimate, could also propel the eldest Trump child into the annals of history as one of the world's best paid podcasters, joining figures such as Joe Rogan, Tim Dillon, and Bill Simmons.
In order to break into the top-ten list of highest paid podcasters - which also personalities such as Dax Shepard and Bill Simmons - Trump Jr would have to earn approximately $1.2million.
Trump Jr. joined Rumble in early 2021, and has since surfaced as one of the most popular content creators on the platform.
Released a little over a year ago, the site has since taken strides in becoming a legitimate alternative to YouTube, proving popular with conservative influencers in particular.

Trump Jr, who commonly posts video critiques of politicians like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi on his channel, has drawn more than 1million subscribers himself, after becoming an early adopter of the website.
Much like his father's Twitter alternative Truth Social, the Toronto-based company has made waves in recent months, appealing to a demographic that was largely displaced in the wake of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
It has burgeoned in popularity since going public in September, inking exclusive deals with personalities such as outspoken actor Brand, Intercept founder Glenn Greenwald, and YouTuber VivaFrei.
