Desperate Don Jr Begs People To Send Him $5

The Trump campaign and the Trump family are so hard up for cash that Junior had to send a message to supporters this week where he begged them to send just $5. In the message, Junior lamented that prosecutors were trying to take away his "boyhood home," which is how he referred to Trump Tower in Manhattan, hardly the type of home that his supporters grew up in. Not only was the message painfully pathetic, it also shows just how desperate the Trump clan is for cash, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Like a junkie hanging out outside a gas station looking for his next fix. Donald Trump Jr. Sent a message out to his supporters this week begging them for just five bucks. Can you just gimme five bucks? Donald Trump Jr. Asked in this email, but he wasn't looking for his next score. No. Poor Trump Jr. Was simply trying to save, as he put it, his boyhood home. Oh, I mean, what, what kind of imagery does that invoke for everybody, right? Your childhood home. The humble place where you grew up, where you did your homework, where you learned to ride your bike. And Donald Trump Jr. Just wants to save his boyhood home and all he needs, I guess, is five bucks from everybody that likes him. Here's what he put in the message. The radical anti-Trump Attorney General in New York wanted to seize my boyhood home. She wanted to get her hands on Trump Tower and take control of one of the most iconic buildings in American history, okay?

He then asked for $5 to save America from President Joe Biden. Just five bucks, guys. Just gimme five bucks. Come on his boyhood home. Now again, he used that phrase because it invokes and nearly everybody that hears that phrase, that imagery of where you grew up, right? If I mention your childhood home, everybody hearing this has that image in their head, right? Those fond memories for most of us, uh, of where we grew up and we, we, you know, came of age and that house, that home played such a big role in it, right? But he's not talking about the little place down on Canary Street. No, he's talking about frigging Trump tower, right? It's not like you were outside playing with your dog in the backyard on a tire swing. We're talking about a penthouse with a golden toilet that's hardly a boyhood home, but that's beside the point.

The big point is that this pathetic message from Donald Trump, Jr. He's now just asking people for five bucks and he's doing that. And of course, this money would go to Donald Trump's campaign, not to Trump Junior himself, but he's doing that because Donald Trump's campaign has been hemorrhaging small dollar donors, and they're now in a very significant cash crunch. So Junior goes out there, tries to use this imagery of the boyhood home to get people, however many he can get, just $5. You can afford $5. Everybody's got $5 to spare. So give it to the alleged multi-billionaire guy running for president who's just gonna turn around and of course, use it to pay his own legal fees. I don't know how successful this pitch from Donald Trump Jr's going to be, but I do know that the responses on social media have,

Of course, course been hilarious. They've called Junior out for trying to claim that Trump Tower was a boyhood home. They have, of course, made fun of him for only asking for $5 a piece from people. And it shows just how pathetic, and of course, how desperate the Trump campaign is for just a couple of bucks so that they can keep on going.
