Donald Trump Jr. Rips GOP 2024 Hopefuls
Don Jr is pissed at the GOP and in particular the 2024 Presidential hopefuls for not fighting for his Daddy. He ripped them on Twitter.
Thought you were the 2024 hopeful Junior.
The total lack of action from virtually all of the “2024 GOP hopefuls” is pretty amazing.
They have a perfect platform to show that they’re willing & able to fight but they will cower to the media mob instead.
Don’t worry @realDonaldTrump will fight & they can watch as usual!

Tonight Show Head Writer Rebecca Drysdale Skips Town
Tonight Show head writer Rebecca Drysdale has left late night swearing “I’ll Never Write Another Trump Sketch.”
“I am making the decision for myself to never work on, write, or be involved with, another Trump sketch ever again,” she wrote on Facebook. “I have landed in several jobs and situations over the last few years, not just ‘The Tonight Show,’ where the project of making fun of Trump, or doing material about Trump, has led to divided creative teams, anxiety, tears and pain. I can’t decide the outcome of this election, but I can make the choice for myself, to vote him out of my creative life.”
