Trump documentarian Alex Holder, the twice-subpoenaed director of the “Unprecedented” doc that premiered on Discovery+ in July, appeared on The Bulwark Podcast this week to share more about his personal observations of the former first family.
Speaking to host Tim Miller, Holder explained how Don Jr. and Ivanka’s top concern is to protect their family’s brand and hang onto their status as American political royalty no matter what the cost, even if it means allegedly plotting an insurrection.

“They absolutely are obsessed with the power and the influence that you have when you’re in the White House,” Holder said, adding that maintaining their father’s political relevance is their #1 priority.
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.
“They just care about doing whatever they can to ensure that their father remains in power,” he explained. “And that Trump is not associated with defeat. They can’t accept anything else.”
Holder also said that the person Ivanka presents as in public versus who she is in real life is totally different.
“Ivanka does have a persona off-camera which is pretty interesting, and I haven’t actually discussed that, to be honest.” he said. “Let’s just say there are quite similar attributes between the way Don Jr. is on-camera and the way Ivanka is off-camera.”
He added, “Ivanka and her father have this similarity in that they put on this very weird persona when they go on camera, and they actually do the same thing.”

“They both complain about how it’s hot in the room and they wish the air conditioning was on, and then they do this weird contortion with their face and essentially try and change character to be this type of person they think people want to see. And Ivanka can do this for so long that it’s essentially become who she is.”
Last week, Holder held a Reddit AMA in which he shared his personal observations of Eric Trump, who he said is terrified of Don Jr.
“Eric seemed to be pretty scared of his older brother,” Holder revealed when asked about the “smaller moments” between members of the family that surprised him most. When someone questioned why he thought this might be, Holder responded: “Have you seen Don Jr???”

Piss-elegant c#ntwads. They were never “royalty “.
Delusional much?

It’s just too funny that they’ll do anything to ensure Trump is “not associated with defeat”. Winning the presidency was almost literally the only victory Trump has ever experienced. Every product he’s launched has flopped, every deal he’s brokered has fallen apart. His casinos and hotels have all gone bankrupt. His buildings were all financed and constructed with an endless string of corrupt deals. No bank in the world will lend to him. The man absolutely stinks of defeat.

Who cares?
Why waste your short life wondering about these Creatures without Souls?
It is like wanting to knowwhat personalities Lice possesses.
When each dies, their fitting eulogies will be “It would have been better for each of them, that they had never been born”

Well, if my father constantly hit on me, I would be a little off kilter too. I hope the hideous creatures never get power again and they all go to prison for their multiple crimes.

They’d all feel comfortable in hell.

Does it feel like the Trumps represent all the worst traits of The Lannister clan in game of thrones? All they need is for Barron to come out as gay….and it’s the perfect trifecta!!
