Trump Jr. And His Girlfriend Are Doing Donald's Dirty Work For Him

Both Donald Trump, Jr. and his fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle are serving as useful idiots for Donald Trump and his third presidential campaign, carrying out the dirty work of trashing Ron DeSantis on social media and on conservative shows. These are assets that most of the country finds deplorable, but in the Republican primary fight, they could end up having a very real impact as DeSantis doesn't have anything like that in his corner. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Donald Trump, of course, is doing a very good job of trying to tear down Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, but he's not alone in his task. He has also had his son, Donald Trump Jr. And of course junior's fiance of the last three years, Kimberly Gilfoyle go out there and do much of the dirty work for him. Now, the other day on social media, Donald Trump Jr. Shared a video that superimposed Ron DeSantis face and voice over that of Steve Carell's office character Michael Scott. And in the video, Michael Scott, of course, is being ridiculed for accidentally wearing a lady's pantsuit. But instead it was, uh, DeSantis who was wearing the lady's pantsuit. And Junior said, Hey, we all know Ron's got a thing for high heels, right? That was bad enough. But then Kimberly Gilfoyle goes out there talking to one of those lesser conservative media outlets that's not Fox News.

And she says this about Ron, and she actually has a good point. I'll, I'll give her that. She has a good point. Here it is. You're gonna run against Donald Trump. You're gonna, you're going to get hurt and damaged badly. That is the problem. So by the time Trump is done, we saw this before, 16 people won after the next fell off the stage, you're gonna end up in the junkyard. You're not gonna be in good shape for 2028. That's just a fact. It's not time to go into toys Rru, strap off the training wheels and take a spin around the aisles and see if it works out. Um, you had me until your weird little analogy there. Um, but okay, sure. Uh, you know, don't go into toys or us and take the training wheels off the bike and then ride it up and down the aisles.

Okay? Um, what she's trying to say, and she did a very poor job of it, is that DeSantis is gonna bloody him up, uh, bloody himself up so badly that he'll never be able to run for president again. And that of course, is the big fear for the Republican party. It, it's kind of clear at this point, it's not set in stone, but I don't see it changing. Trump is gonna be the nominee, like he's their guy. Republicans are sticking with him. DeSantis poll numbers are somehow still getting worse. So Trump's got it in the bag. But what Gil Foyle's bringing up, and again, I think this is a great point. You had 16 people running for president in 20 15, 20 16 on the Republican side. Where are they today? Jeb Bush was ridiculed and mocked so much for his pathetic campaign that he's just straight up disappeared. Like somebody probably needs to do a wellness check on Jeb Bush because that's how badly he got the crap beat out of him. Others returned to the Senate and appear to have, at least for now, just completely lost any of their presidential ambitions. Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and then the rest of 'em. Yeah, Ben Carson got a job with the

Trump administration. Carly Fiorina disappeared into oblivion. And honestly, I don't remember most of the other people. So not exactly a vote of confidence. When you get a high profile in a primary and then lose, that doesn't bode well for your political future. Ron DeSantis may think he doesn't have to worry about that because he's not gonna lose. But the other thing this story shows us is that it's not just Donald out there attacking Ron. Donald has something that Ron doesn't surrogates.
