Donald Trump Jr. has entered the chat.

The former first son, 46, put aside politics for a minute to talk the Sean “Diddy” Combs scandal, on DJ Akademiks’ podcast from Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach Wednesday.

Donald Trump’s oldest child actually has a connection to the embattled rapper, whose Miami and L.A. homes were raided by the feds last month as part of a sex-trafficking investigation.

Trump empathized with the music mogul, — who has been accused in several lawsuits of sexual assault — in one regard. He likened the raids to what happened to his father, former president Donald Trump, at Mar-a-Lago back in August 2022.

“Ridiculous ... holding kids at gunpoint,” Jr. said. “It’s a show of force. Totally unnecessary.”

Combs and Jr. have another connection: Trump Jr.’s ex wife, Vanessa Haydon, was friends with Diddy’s longtime partner Kim Porter, and mother of three of his seven kids. Porter and Haydon were models who ran in the same circles in NYC in the ‘90s, he told the DJ at around the four-minute mark.

Trump recalled that his ex phoned him after Porter’s shocking death of pneumonia at the age of 47 back in 2018.

“She was like ... she did not believe that was just natural,” he said, adding that Porter had confided to Haydon that she was “afraid” of Combs.

“I’m not trying to fuel rumors,” the former “Apprentice” star added.

“There’s a s--t ton of rumors,” Akademiks said.

But, according to the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office, Porter, who had been ill for days, died in her sleep of “lobar pneumonia,” which affects the entire lobe of the lung, and the death was ruled natural.
