Which son, right?
We know Donald Jr. has been pulling out all the stops to win his father’s approval for most of his ‘adult’ life, due in large part to having gone unloved as a child.
Do yourself a favour and read this before we carry on.
Donald Junior’s sycophancy during his father’s presidency has not gone unnoticed, and he appears to be in the good books. Eric Trump is just as keen to get in on that action, and he was rolled out at last night’s Minneapolis rally.
From the 2:30 mark below, you’ll see the chant beginning to grow:
To be fair to Eric, he does squash the chant with the notion that his dad will “beat the hell out of all of them”.
Then came all the usual garbage about how much the Trumps love the military (despite Donnie’s bone spurs preventing him from ever serving), jobs, religion (odd about those marriages and affairs) and the Second Amendment.
GUNS! Look, Don Jr. and Eric do indeed love guns:
Don’t worry, the “villagers” were delighted:
Here’s more on last night’s rally via the Guardian:
There was clapping, cheering and chanting of “drain the swamp!” from the crowd, many wearing “Make America great again” hats and sweaters. Trump went on: “The Democrats’ brazen attempt to overthrow our government will produce a backlash at the ballot box the likes of which they have never ever seen before in the history of this country.”
…Using the “Sleepy Joe” nickname, Trump claimed Biden is “totally owned and totally controlled by the Washington swamp, for many years”. He said the vice president was put in charge of Ukraine policy and mocked the media’s use of the term “unsubstantiated charges”. He joked about creating a t-shirt with the logo: “Where’s Hunter?”
Trump went on, mockingly: “Hunter, you’re a loser. Why did you get $1.5bn, Hunter? And your father was never considered smart. He was never considered a good senator. He was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama’s ass.”
The crowd erupted in delight, relishing Trump’s vulgar, taboo-busting audacity – a key characteristic of his political rise.
Sure, you could put it like that, or you could just say they really, really hated the fact that America had a two-term black president.
The show goes on.
