During a speech at a far-right, pro-Trump superspreader event in West Palm Beach, Florida over the weekend, Donald Trump Jr. spent roughly half an hour whining about how nobody likes him.
It all started with a story about his recent trip to Alaska, where he spent a week doing “some toxic masculine stuff” and didn’t have WiFi, so he couldn’t post anything to social media.
“It doesn’t matter, Instagram’s been screwing me so badly anyway,” he told the crowd at Turning Point USA’s sixth annual Student Action Summit.
Then he went off on a tangent about how his Instagram posts don’t get nearly as many likes as they used to.
“No seriously, I’m getting, like, 20 percent of what I got because I’m willing to fight until they shut me down,” he griped. “I’m averaging, like, 35,000 likes a post last couple of weeks. A month ago, it was 250,000.”

Then he claimed (without evidence, of course) that his posts used to get as many as 100 million likes every single week.
“I actually have engagement that’s almost, like, 100 million a week, and I’m losing 2,000 followers a day,” he claimed. “Think about that. It means that only those who want to actually follow me are remotely seeing my stuff.”
But it’s not just Instagram where Don Jr. seems to be having issues. He also claims Twitter is out to get him.
Back in October, he accused the social media platform of limiting the reach of his posts, tweeting: “Twitter has been throttling my reach and I’m getting 1/3 the amount of RTs I would normally get. Instagram is doing the same & worse for the last few days.”

I guess they don’t want the truth about the Biden crime family out there and they will cover for them at all costs.

Several of Junior’s tweets have been flagged in recent weeks for making false claims and spreading misinformation about November’s election.
“No one is fighting for the truth,” he told the crowd at Turning Point USA’s conference. “The media are cheerleaders for the left.”

Sounds like a lot of the phony accounts are finally getting screened out also.
cuteguy
Sounds a lot like his closeted counterpart Lindsay Graham. They should just both do it with each other so they’re not so miserable

What Junior is really freaking out about is that his perception of influence in the GOP is not what he thought it was. That the inroads made by his pappy is not translating over to him and idealistic hopes of a political future are looking less and less likely to bear fruition.

Sad….unattractive, not the parents’ favorite, untalented, unaccomplished….just a grade A mess. Tragic….watch you, the prosecutors are on the way january 21.

You are right and according to Cohen, who hopefully Biden pardons DAY 1, The Liar in Chief doesn’t even like Dumbputin Jr. because he’s a moron!
UncleFloppy
He has the same mental illnesses his father has. Pity them both.
Lancealot
Not many people are gonna care what he has to say after his father leaves office. After January 20th, he’ll probably drop to down to the same number of followers he had before Trump became President.

That kinda messes with his hope to be an ‘influencer’ post-white house.
nmharleyrider
Sounds just like his father but if he continues to spread his father’s lies he will have no likes at all.

Narrassism runs rapid and deep in that family. Jan 20 cant come fast enough

Thanks for the first laugh of my day.

He’s a LEWSER like the Draft Dodger. Just look up Titan Atlas a company dad bought / gave to him that he bankrupted just as the Orange One became the worst president in US history with the laziest firs lady, Melanoma.
Then Daddy and the devil’s spawn had the balls to ask the government to pay for the TOXIC waste they left behind in the manufacturing warehouse….Look it up FOLKS!

That’s rich coming from a major crime family! I need not list their crimes! The trump family’s modus operandi is to blame others for what they are guilty of!
JRinDallas
So Don Jr. whines, is an entitled spoiled brat and craves the approval of others? Well, the rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the diseased tree.
GayEGO
So Donnie Jr. hates to lose like his daddy! The Trump family needs to go!

Actually, they caught this raging, befuddled idiot on a good day, which is rare.
