So Trump said he did not know DJTJ would tweet about the WB’s identity.

How soon will Trump NOT know his namesake?

I really hope that they’re wrong about the name that they’re dropping, will make the defamation lawsuit that much more interesting.

Don the Even Dumber would be well advised not to piss off the intelligence community, given his international business proclivities.

The White House told HuffPost reporter Yashar Ali Trump did not know in advance that his son would tweet the article, nor did any senior administration officials.

What’s the line that Senior’s ignorance here is indistinguishable from his ignorance about Junior’s Trump Tower meeting about some juicy dirt on Hillary?

The arrogance and stupidity of the entire Trump family is stunning.

So apparently the reason we’re hearing from the little shit…, er, that is, Don Jr., is that he claims to have written a book he is out flogging, a screed against the left.

Of course, he has “written a book” in the same way that his father “wrote books,” in that someone else wrote every word of it and Trump just checked for how many times his name was mentioned.

Sadly, however, that means the little shit is going to be foisting himself on mainstream media. We can only hope some of those media outlets will push back and ask some cogent questions that make him run back to his rat hole on Fox.

"This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere.

“I did not know about it!”

Is Junior on the WH payroll? If so, then someone needs to prosecute this a-hole.

This is a vicious and illegal thing to do, and yet it’s also buffoonishly pointless and futile. But I guess in the political realm, toxic self-beclowning is exactly on brand for these yutzes.

A lot of material for a lot of psychiatrists. And a total waste of carbon.

How about we keep pounding on the obvious: that all this disclosing is intended to put current and future WBs in fear for their lives.

Sort of like he didn’t know about the Trump Tower meeting. That kind of “not know.”

Naw. It’s only supposed to put the fear of Dog into those WBs who would unmask republican wrongdoing.
