EXCLUSIVE
The YouTuber who falsely insinuated Melania Trump‘s son was autistic is redefining chutzpah … he’s making money on his apology.
The guy has ads running on his apology vid, meaning he hasn’t turned off the monetization setting — just a one-click process.
The apology video posted Tuesday has almost 74,000 views as of Wednesday morning, and continues to run ads.
We broke the story … Melania and Barron threatened the YouTuber with a lawsuit … and they called out Rosie O’Donnell for reposting it.
The guy took it down when he felt the Mama Bear’s legal heat — although he waited 24 hours and gained another 1 million views, and more ad revenue, in the process.
He seemed sincere in his apology/retraction. Now … we’re not so sure.
