Donald Trump, Jr. put his political influence to the test this week, and it is not going well for him.
Trump, Jr. is furious with the conservative organization Club for Growth for breaking ranks with Trumpworld on primary candidate endorsements, and he’s reportedly thrown an all-out fit.
It began when Club for Growth chief David McIntosh ran ads against Trump-endorsed J.D. Vance in Ohio’s GOP Senate primary. According to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, Donald Trump responded by instructing an assistant to text McIntosh “Go f**k yourself.” Then, Trump, Jr. tweeted a video of himself campaigning for Vance while blasting “the RINO frauds attacking” the candidate.

How about we take this to the next level?

Trump, Jr. escalated the conservative rift by posting a video attacking Vance’s primary opponent Josh Mandel, whom McIntosh endorsed. The eldest Trump offspring then threatened to attack other Club for Growth candidates unless McIntosh is removed by the board.
A person close to Don Jr says that If the Club continues running these ads, Don Jr is considering opposing all newly endorsed Club candidates unless/until David McIntosh is removed by the board. Don Jr is likely to make at least one more appearance for Vance.

So how’d that work out for Jr.?
According to Washington Post investigative reporter Jack Dawsey, Club for Growth plans to increase their spending on Vance attack ads.

In addition to the Ohio Senate primary, Trump and Club for Growth also back different candidates in the Alabama Senate primary and the Arizona gubernatorial primary.
While the organization was “vehemently” opposed to Donald Trump’s own presidential campaign, Club for Growth has been described as “one of the biggest backers” of Republicans who later voted to overturn the results of the 2020 United States presidential election, having spent around $20 million on their campaigns in 2018 and 2020.

Why not just ignore people like the Don Jr?
That would make them even more rabid.

Trumpie Jr will do a few extra bumps and tweet out even more hate when he’s high, as usual. Glad he’s going after fellow repuglicans this time though.

Donny jr will feel much better after he snorts a line or two.

One ad for mandell has LYIN TED touting mandell taking ohio to #1, but he doesnt say what for.
Mike Gibbons has a fake “THE APPRENTICE” ad with him sitting at the boardroom with a FAKE IVANKA!!! if ohio puts either of these assholes in office they get what they deserve.

Maggie Haberman is as shitty a journalist as Don Jr. is a son, American, and human. It’s like a pile of shit covering a bag of vomit. Not a single winner in sight, including those of us who read it.
