Donald Trump spreads wild 'horse' rumor about Tim Walz, Internet calls him 'desperate'
WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump Jr tried to propagate a bizarre and distasteful rumor about Tim Walz, which only served to reinforce the reason the Minnesota governor originally labeled the GOP as "weird."
The incident began when Trump's eldest son shared a spoof version of the 'Got Milk' advertisements. The post featured a photo of Walz sporting a milk mustache, with a horse in the background.
Donald Trump Jr spreads vile rumor about Tim Walz
Ever since Tim Walz mocked Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance by referencing a satirical and false internet meme that claimed Vance had written about sexual acts with a sofa, supporters of President Trump have sought to retaliate against Walz.
For some reason, someone chose to refute the unfounded allegations of couch sex by claiming Walz likes drinking horse semen, Huff Post reported.
In his post, Trump Jr mentioned "stolen valor," a term used in another GOP critique of Walz's military record, which alleges that he left his soldiers before a deployment to Iraq. Walz retired from the military to pursue a congressional career.
Trump Jr posted, "Listen, stolen valor is about as bad as it gets But what is this I’m hearing about a horse?!"

Donald Trump supporters fabricated news stories claiming that Tim Walz implicated in 1995 incident
Trump supporters have fabricated news stories falsely alleging that Walz was implicated in an incident in 1995, Distractify reports. However, if Trump Jr and other staunch supporters believe that their tactics will sway public opinion in favor of their leader, they may be wrong.
Reddit's Ask A Liberal user provided this helpful explanation why, "Well, if that’s your strategy, you can go ahead and make up gross stories about Tim Walz. But I wouldn’t expect it to work out in quite the same way."
It further added, "Everyone seems to hate JD Vance, while everyone seems to really like Tim Walz. Mean-spirited jokes tend to be easier to (aheh) swallow when the butt of those jokes is considered an “acceptable target.”"
Numerous people attempted to educate Don Jr on how his post criticizing Walz could potentially damage his cause more than it would affect the likely Democratic vice presidential candidate.
