Donald Trump Jr., the oldest son of the former president, is calling Alabama’s latest attempt at legalizing gambling and the lottery a “bad bill” that would prevent world-class resorts and casinos from entering into Alabama.
Trump tweeted out his statement on Wednesday, one day before the Alabama House could debate and vote on a gambling package that is currently wrapped up in three bills. The linchpin bill, SB319, would require a constitutional amendment that would be placed on the November 2022 ballot.
“If you’re gonna legalize gambling, actually legalize it, but giving a monopoly to a small group of casino bosses is just a special interest giveaway,” Trump Jr. said.
