Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday touted support he received from the daughter of legendary actor John Wayne.
Trump claimed in a Facebook post that Wayne’s daughter, Aissa Wayne, wrote a letter to the real estate mogul — telling him that her father would “be very proud” of Trump and his campaign, adding that Trump has “given the people of America a voice.” She also wrote that the average U.S. citizen is “mad as hell that our country is being sold down the river.”
