Donald Trump Jr., the former president's eldest son and top surrogate, is selling $500-plus videos of himself to fans on Cameo, a service that allows people to commission video messages from celebrities.
"Don't worry about it if your wife's mad at you for saying that election night 2016 was the happiest night of your life ... there's millions of people just like you, you can tell her I said that," he says in one video for a supporter in Australia. "Thanks for helping us out and support us in going after the liberals and the crazies on CNN."
Trump Jr. charges $525 for a standard video, which he'll deliver in two to seven days, and $787 for a video turned around in 24 hours or less.
On his Cameo profile, Trump Jr. describes himself as a "Father, Patriot, Outdoorsman, Businessman, Political Commentator and #1 NYT Bestselling author." His page indicates that "a portion" of the proceeds from his videos benefit the Shadow Warriors Project, a foundation that supports private US military contractors led by Mark Geist, who worked as a private security contractor at US facilities in Benghazi during the 2012 terror attack on the US embassy.
It's unclear what percentage of the video proceeds go to the non-profit group. A spokesperson for Trump Jr. didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Geist has allied himself with the Trump family for years and campaigned with Trump Jr. beginning in 2016.
The foundation's stated mission, according to a statement on its website, is to "honor our brothers who are contracted to serve their country silently behind enemy lines and through their heroic and courageous acts have fallen or been injured and in all things bring glory to the Lord."
Trump Jr. has continued to aggressively defend his father and attack Democrats on social media, cable news, and other platforms in the months since the former president was banned from Twitter for inciting the violent Capitol riot on January 6.
