Donald Trump Jr. plans big midterm role

Jonathan Swan 3 hours ago

What's next: He wants to use his influence within the Republican base to "expand our majority in the Senate and protect our majority in the House," said a source close to the president's son. Expect Don Jr. to be raising money for Republican candidates and staging rallies.

Behind the scenes: Immediately after the race was called in the West Virginia Senate primary on Tuesday, Don Jr. spoke to Patrick Morrisey to congratulate him on his victory.

People briefed on the call said Don Jr. offered to come down and campaign with Morrisey to defeat Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin.

Don Jr.'s first trip to West Virginia is expected to be scheduled fairly soon.


Don Jr.'s priority states for midterm Senate races: West Virginia, Missouri, Montana and Indiana.

He's been doing most of it the whole time anyway and details are entrusted to other competent employees.
Don Jr. is just a "figure (empty wooden) head" .

Did you see the story yesterday about his soon to be ex-wife was involved with an alleged gang member back in high school? You know he planted it.
Jr. is soon to be a convicted felon. That is considerably worse.
I hope his ex-wife develops a taste for better men.

Both born w/ silver spoons in their mouths, and thus have no life experiences other than learning to avoid paying taxes (or at least their fair share), trampling on the rights of others less fortunate than they, and to top it off, pass off their fake aura that 'they alone know it all'.

Disgusting. Literally I wouldn't waste a trash bag on these two pieces of scum...
