During an interview with Steven Crowder this week, Donald Trump Jr.
Tried to explain away why all of the big money Republican donors are abandoning his own father.
And of course, as Crowder points out in the clip, moving over to people like Ron DeSantis.
So here is Donald Trump Jr.
Clumsily, trying to say, it's totally cool.
If all the big donors leave his dad, take a look,
As they've tried to do, you know, where I see the pushback sort of that, that donor
class.
Yeah.
You know, they don't wanna Trump because they want to pick up the phone, get the president
on.
And when they say jump, the president says, how high yeah.
You know, that's the distinction that I don't think anyone's talking about.
You know, they sort of, uh, you know, the, the Republican, uh, you know, cabal and the
donor class, you know, they want someone that answers to them.
They want someone that needs them and their dollars and stuff like that.
So, you know, that's the only, uh,
And are you saying that the Santas may tread that he may kind of tow that line a little
bit?
No, I, I think, you know, it's different when you're an independently wealthy billionaire
and you don't need those sort of dollars and you have that sort of you, you're just not
as beholden to those people.
And so, yeah.
I'm not, you know, saying anything about him.
I'm just saying, you know, that that's really, if there's any schism whatsoever, you know,
maybe it's that because they want that control again.
I think
My dad just has so much money that he doesn't need the money from the other people.
Right.
He's, he's a billionaire.
So they wanna, they wanna give the money.
And I'm not saying this about DeSantis, but they wanna give the money to, you know, people
they can control.
So even though he puts that caveat in, they're like, I'm not saying anything about DeSantis.
And then he goes on to describe the kind of people who get the money after it had already
been established, that DeSantis was getting the money.
Now, here is something I will never say again for the rest of my life juniors, actually
100% correct.
About most of it, let's put a little asterisk by it.
Okay.
I'll give you that little bitty asterisk because he is right.
That is why corporate money goes into politics, right?
That's not a big secret.
You only give money to people because you think you're gonna be able to get something
in return in effect, you believe you're gonna be able to control them in certain areas,
right?
Like Joe mansion with giving benefits to the fossil fuel industry, you know, Mitch McConnell,
giving benefits to major corporations.
That's how the money flows.
That's why the money flows.
That's why corporations pay off politicians to begin with.
So yes, Donald Trump Jr.
Is 100% correct about that, but he's wrong about the reason, right?
Because he doesn't address why they're leaving his dad.
It's not because they don't think they can control him.
They did a good job of that for the four years.
He was in office, even with giving him very little money while he was in office, of course
it did pick up, you know, towards the end with the 2020 campaign, they still got everything
they wanted.
So rather than feeding all of that money to the president of the United States, they fed
it to members of Congress, you know, house and Senate so that they could get the legislation.
Cuz they knew Donald Trump, where they was a rubber, rubber stamp president, excuse me.
So he would just sign off on it.
Big business, got everything they wanted without having to pay off Donald Trump.
But as I said, 20, 20 election rolls around.
They did go to Donald Trump, but now they do not think he is viable.
That's why they've pulled the money.
That's why they're going to other people like Ron DeSantis.
And that's the part that junior skipped over.
That's the part that he conveniently omitted because that's, what's actually happening
here.
Donald Trump did give corporations everything they have ever wanted.
Just like every other Republican and far too many Democrats.
But now they see the writing on the wall.
They understand that his poll numbers are bad.
I know he got the little bump following the FBI search warrant, but that's gonna disappear
relatively quickly, especially with all the new information that has come out.
And those big money, billionaire donors are gonna be looking back at Ron DeSantis, hell
they may even look over at Ted Cruz.
They may be looking at Nikki Haley or Josh Holly or Tom cotton or Chris Christie or Mike
Pompeo or Mike Pence.
God knows who it's gonna be.
But to an extent he is right.
They wanna give the money to people they can control.
But the caveat of course is they also enjoy giving money to the person they think can
win an election.
And that's the part that junior left out.
