As President-elect Trump prepares to take office, drama is swirling around Donald Trump Jr.’s new girlfriend, Bettina Anderson, and her alleged ambitions to secure a role in the new administration. According to the New York Post, Anderson, a 38-year-old model and Palm Beach native, has been schmoozing at Mar-a-Lago, sparking speculation that she’s angling for a prestigious appointment on one of the White House’s advisory committees.
Sources close to the Trump transition team claim Anderson has her sights set on chairing the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, a position typically reserved for individuals with strong ties to the cultural community and public service. This news comes just days after Kimberly Guilfoyle, Don Jr.’s former fiancée, was nominated as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece — a move some insiders see as a parting gift for her service to the MAGA cause.
Anderson, meanwhile, appears to be playing a different game, focusing her pitch on appealing to the more “sophisticated and liberal” crowd in elite circles like the Hamptons and Palm Beach. This strategy isn’t sitting well with many Trump loyalists, who question her lack of MAGA credentials and conservative bona fides. “Being a wannabe influencer is nothing new in this world — but is she an influencer or an infiltrator?” one transition insider reportedly asked.

Don Jr.’s spokesperson pushed back hard on the claims, telling the Post, “This is totally wrong — not only is she not getting one, she has never brought up wanting one.” They insisted the allegations are baseless, despite Anderson’s frequent networking and high-profile appearances alongside key decision-makers.
Anderson’s current philanthropic work includes her role with the Project Paradise Film Fund, which focuses on producing films about Florida’s wildlife. While her love for the outdoors is well-documented, some MAGA insiders aren’t impressed. Concerns are being raised over her social media activity, which has included left-leaning posts, mask-wearing during the pandemic, and a bio that humorously claims she’s a “stay at home mom” who doesn’t have kids, a husband, or do household chores.
These details have fueled skepticism among Trump supporters. As one insider told the Daily Mail, “We can’t afford to have any headaches or liabilities trying to grift their way to more Instagram followers. … Especially ones who aren’t MAGA to begin with.”
With the Trump transition team laser-focused on assembling a rock-solid administration dedicated to America First principles, it’s clear that any perceived opportunism or lack of ideological alignment will be met with intense scrutiny. The message is simple: loyalty and authenticity matter — and any whiff of grifting won’t be tolerated.
