Donald Trump and his family just got caught up in yet another big scandal, this time endorsing the ripping off of their own supporters by former campaign manager Steve Bannon and the “We Build The Wall” project, with a huge thumbs up from Don Junior in particularly.
Bannon and Brian Kolfage were arrested by officers of the United States Postal Service for defrauding donors who were duped into giving their money to them because they believed the funds were going to help build a border wall for Trump.
Trump is already desperately trying to distance himself from Bannon and the scheme even though he reportedly endorsed it wholeheartedly back in 2019 according to anti-immigration former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
But the problem is that plenty of other people in Trump’s immediate orbit also endorsed the project, including his own son Don Jr. and Junior’s girlfriend Kimberley Guilfoyle. Oops.

“This is private enterprise at its finest,” Don Jr. said in glowing praise of the scam on the We Build The Wall’s website. “Doing it better, faster, cheaper than anything else and what you guys are doing is pretty amazing. It started from a grassroots effort and it’s doing some wonderful things for an important issue.

Of course, what would you expect from a scumbag who literally created a charity to steal money from cancer-stricken children?
Other testimonials came from Guilfoyle, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

Seriously, this looks really bad for Trump, his family, and the Republican Party. Many of Trump’s supporters now know that they were duped into donating money to a fake cause, which Bannon used to buy boats and take trips. No wall was ever constructed with this money, which those who donated could have used to pay their bills or feed their kids, especially during this time of crisis in our nation.
I would bet money that Don Jr. has literally taken candy from babies at this point.
