Trump Wasn’t Mad At Don Jr. Over Trump Tower Meeting, Just ‘Resigned To His Son’s Idiocy’

President Donald Trump was not surprised that it was his eldest son who was involved in organizing the infamous Trump Tower meeting between members of his campaign and a Russian lawyer, a key episode in the Russia investigation.

And this is the head of the ‘Dynasty’ going forward.

OK. I’m looking forward to watching.

“He wasn’t angry at Don,” a former White House official told the Atlantic. “It was more like he was resigned to his son’s idiocy.”

He wasn’t angry at Don,” a former White House official told the Atlantic. “It was more like he was resigned to his son’s idiocy.”

“He’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer,” Trump reportedly said.

I wonder who put that idea in Chiselin’ Trump’s head?

Maybe Trump doesn’t understand that “the drawer” from which Don Jr. came is his gene pool? (I mean, it does involve science and stuff . . . . )

Imagine your father thinks you’re dumb. Now imagine your father is Donald Trump.

I don’t buy one word of this story other than a fancy way to deflect Trump’s guilt in the most offhand (to Trump) way possible.

So that Joe and Jill Sixpack read it and further move away from this mook’s abject criminality.

It’s a “dynasty” of sorts. A dynasty of idiots.

There was a time in this country they wouldn’t let you reproduce for being this stupid. Now I don’t believe we should bring that policy back, but dammit, if there’s one more generation like this one…

And Don, Jr.'s supposed to be the smart one, right? Relying on his kids or their spouses to get anything done right is sort of like trying to overhaul a transmission with a butter knife and some Crisco.

Of course, the apples don’t fall far from the moron tree.

I’d prefer if tRump just resigned over his own idiocy.

I think The Prez is just going along with the already-agreed-upon lie that Senior (who was IN THE BUILDING) knew nothing, absolutely nothing (insert Sgt. Schultz impression here) about the meeting

I’m with Michael Cohen on this: Junior does not go to the bathroom without telling daddy if it’s #1 or #2.

Donald is telling Shiv, er, Ivanka, that everything will be in her hands once he is gone. And she’s dumb enough to believe it.

Like Stalin calling his kids evil and manipulative.

Right. Where this does not hold up (and no doubt Daddy is resigned to Junior being an idiot) is Junior is so craven to Daddy’s approval, what didn’t Junior report? Junior did not initiate this meeting without Daddy’s go-ahead.

Poor Don Jr…

Couldn’t even pass the entrance exam for Trump University.

Sad!

‘…Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.’s battle over the succession to the Trump dynasty.’ Yeah they’re arguing who will get the cell with the window.
