Donald Trump Jr. went on Fox News this week to praise his father for showing Republicans that you don’t have to “lose gracefully.” Instead, you can incite an insurrection to stop the peaceful transfer of power, if you want.
Speaking to Sean Hannity about the need to push back against Democrats, Don Jr. said, “The Republicans aren’t willing to do it. They have shown that over the decades. They’d just rather lose gracefully, I guess.”
“That’s not really a plan that I would go with. It’s what they have done. Donald Trump has shown that you don’t have to do that. You can actually push back.”

Of course, this is hardly the first time Don Jr. has tried putting a positive spin on his father’s bad behavior.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Earlier this month, he praised his dad after the Senate voted 57 to 43 to convict him of one article of impeachment for incitement of insurrection.
The historic bipartisan vote fell just short of the two thirds needed to actually strip Trump of his post-presidential privileges and stop him from ever running for office again.
Somehow, Don Jr. saw this was a win. He fired off a series of celebratory tweets congratulating his pop on “back to back impeachment champ.”

Beating these establishment clowns twice after years of BS and under unprecedented circumstances is a badge of honor.

NOT GUILTY. Now maybe it would be nice if the senators stopped putting on show trials for free air time and actually started working for the American people for a change.

Earlier this month, Don Jr. was deposed as part of the Washington, D.C. Attorney General’s lawsuit alleging the misuse of Trump inaugural funds. He is also at the center of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office into the Trump Organization’s finances.

So he admits his dad is a loser.

You have to wonder: Do Trump Sr. or Jr. ever listen to themselves?

Why do we give a platform to a person who has only accomplished one thing in life, which is that he is Donald Trumps son?

How much longer so we have to listen to this douchebag, or even worse, look at him? He looks like a werewolf only half way through his transition.

He looks like a mobster and I’m sure it’s a look he chose.

the whole family needs to dig a hole, jump in and just disappear forever.

Can this Chump family just go away? Or are they all so desperately trying to kiss up to their father? Don’t they have real day jobs?

Why can’t we cancel the whole Trump family?

I hate that pic of Trump. it’s the face he probably makes as Kimberly is going to town downstairs.

That photo was taken in the hospital when he was being treated for Covid. They really shouldn’t have wasted money on him since he thought Covid was a hoax.

LOSERS will say anything to justify themselves actually being “losers”.
