John Wayne’s Family Endorses Donald Trump

"This is very important to me because of John and his whole legacy"

Standing in front of a horse saddle, a fake desert background and a statue of John Wayne, Donald Trump accepted the endorsement of Wayne’s family before reporters in Iowa Tuesday morning.

After Wayne’s daughter Aissa introduced Trump, he quipped, “John Wayne would be very proud of you right now, I think. Maybe he would say, ‘What are you doing?'”

“This is very important to me because of John and his whole legacy,” Trump said. “I met him one time and it made such an impression. When you talk about bigger than life, there aren’t too many people bigger than life… It’s an honor to be here, it’s a tremendous honor to have your support and endorsement.”

I really don’t care when the Hollywierd types start spouting on about politics. Typically, we lambaste this kind of stuff with a giant “who cares” on FR.

Something tells me this once-removed endorsement will somehow resonate nonetheless. It’s kind of a barometer of where the conservative movement is going.

He did not say there would be an endorsement. He said there would be an announcement.

I am sure if he works real hard at helping him hide from ElChap,o The Mouth of Manhattan could get the endorsement of Sean Penn and maybe even Madanna.

Do we have any word yet on the voting preferences of John Wayne’s childhood friend’s twice-removed cousin?

Trump got a heros welcome at Liberty.


I have no doubt.

My comment was sarcasm based on some posts here in FR that basically took him to Sunday School over one of his word choices.

Who is going to garner the vaunted Ronald Reagan Jr. endorsement?

“others thought he (John Wayne) had been a phony all along”.

Ya want to see phony? Watch this 3 minute Cruz unedited raw commercial video.

Ask yourself, how is it possible Cruz or his team could have allowed this to be leaked or actually would release it themselves?

Reagan has family members who endorse Democrats on a regular basis.

They speak?!

You’d think they’d take time at least once to distance themselves from all of the criminals with the middle name Wayne.
