Don Jr Fears Trump Will Lose And His Family Will Face Prosecution: NYT Report
The New York Times reported on Monday that Donald Trump Jr. is afraid that his father will lose the election in November and his family will face prosecution.
The Times’ journalist Jason Zengerle spoke with an anonymous source described as a “prominent conservative activist.”
According to the source, “Don’s the only person who thinks they’re going to lose. He’s like, ‘We’re losing, dude, and we’re going to get really hurt when we lose.’”
Zengerle explains that by “really hurt,” that source means criminal prosecutions. The Times journalist reports, “An electoral defeat in November, Trump Jr. fears, could result in federal prosecutions of Trump, his family and his political allies. He has told the conservative activist that he expects that a Biden administration will not participate in a ‘peaceful transition’ and instead, will ‘shoot the prisoners.’”
The Times describes, in detail, Trump, Jr.’s rise in prominence in Trumpworld.
“When Trump ran for president in 2016, Trump Jr. — who is now 42 — was involved but hardly central to the effort,” Zengerle notes. “His sister Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, exercised sweeping influence over the campaign. Trump Jr., by contrast, was assigned small, discrete tasks, like putting his outdoorsmanship on display in a pheasant-hunting photo-op with his brother, Eric.”
But Zengerle emphasizes that four years later, Trump, Jr. is by no means a marginal figure in Trumpworld and has “grown into arguably his father’s most valuable political weapon.” Now, according to Jason Miller — a senior adviser on Trump’s reelection campaign — “Don, Jr. represents the emotional center of the MAGA universe.” And Zengerle points out that Trump, Jr.’s girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, is also a prominent figure in Trumpworld.
“Trump Jr. is now a key player in the Republican Party’s 2020 operation,” Zengerle observes. “He and Guilfoyle have become fund-raising powerhouses, coaxing large donations from high-dollar donors. Guilfoyle is reportedly paid $15,000 a month by the Trump campaign. E-mail solicitations sent out by the National Republican Congressional Committee, the House Republicans’ election arm, under Trump Jr.’s name have so far raised more than $3 million in small-dollar donations.”

Is this why he was crying last night or was it because his girlfriend blew out his eardrums
Could it be that Trump Sr. found out that she's Puerto Rican..... and told Jr. he was cut out of the will?
She's only half Puerto Rican....
I received a fundraising letter from them and sent it back with a ''wooden nickel''.
Postage due I hope....!
Because they have been prosecuted, and they are being prosecuted repeatedly for FRAUD. They steal from their own charities, from kids with cancer, from veterans, from their own foundation, their own campaign, their own donors. It always has been a scam. The number of convictions of Trump associates is astounding, especially when these were people who worked on his campaign.If it were only 1 or 2 you might be able to say there was no knowledge of the fraud or crime. However when you are looking at several close campaign associates and the number is climbing with the addition of the fraud committed by Bannon and a group of Trump supporters, you cannot possibly believe that Trump did not know all of this fraud was going on when all of the fraud committed benefits him and his campaign personally. Ludicrous not to believe the truth especially when his son is now pleading the fifth over tax evasion issues.
