Trump world is a lot like the planet Dune. Remember “the spice must flow” being the absolute imperative? In Trump world, it’s “the grift must go on” and on it does, in a variety of creative ways. Donald Trump Jr. has just signed up to do Cameo messages, which is a kind of singing telegram without the singing. The idea is that you hire a friend’s fav celebrity to wish them a Happy Birthday or whatever. It makes sense that some young gal would be thrilled to see the heart throb from her favorite TV show or movie send her a greeting, but who in their right mind lives a life where, 1. Don Jr. is their favorite celebrity? 2. They have five hundred bucks — or more — to pay for a few moments of his time?

And then where the grift gets interesting is that Junior says that part of his fee goes to support a veteran’s group — but he doesn’t state which percentage. This sounds a lot like Michael Flynn in Dallas the other day. He did a lot of auctioning off of goods at the QAnon conference over Memorial Day weekend. That was supposed to be for charity as well. How much you want to bet it finds its way into Flynn’s pockets?

Junior’s gigs start out at $500, but then escalate to $787 if it’s a rush job, sooner than two days. So plan for this great occasion of sending someone a Cameo of Junior, plan and save.

And while you’re planning and saving for a summer full of great Trump family fun, the MAGA Frank gala is in Wisconsin on the 12th of June. You don’t want to miss that.

In the meantime, if you just have to get a Cameo appearance from Junior, here’s what it would look like.

This is where it’s going for the Trump family, a legacy in quasi-celebrity, Cameo gigs and rambling toasts at crashed Mar-a-Lago weddings. Let’s hope for Junior that his Cameo gigs attract a bit more interest than his old man’s blog, or it will be yet another Trump enterprise that lasts less than three Scaramuccis and goes the way of Trump Airlines, Trump University, Trump Vodka, Trump Steaks, we could go on.
