Have you ever heard Don Jr talk? He’s just incredibly stupid; I mean, the guy is REALLY dull-witted. It doesn’t surprise me his book is stupid, too, and that’s with someone taking his scribblings or random thoughts and making them follow basic rules of grammar. The only job he has ever held in his life that wasn’t essentially being his father’s son was the same job Trumpists love to make fun of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for holding; he was briefly a bartender. He probably sucked at it. He has never independently demonstrated competence in any actual skill, which of course is what is to be expected from the pampered rich boy of whom nothing but obsequious toadying to his father was ever expected.

The tone-deafness of his stupidity can hardly surprise anyone.

I assume Junior had to have someone else write his book for him. I wonder if they had to have someone read it to him too?

Three in a row, likely not. Don Jr. would be the second Trump, just as W. was the second Bush. Notice I said after that it would be Kanye or what ever.

I think the likelihood of Jr. being elected to _anything_ is remote.

Yeah, how about it. Never underestimate the utter deranged stupidity of Republican voters.

Maybe we crossed paths. I was in for 1974-1977, my MOS was 98G2LKP.

If **Steve** was ever around Berlin in '73, he may well have crossed paths with one of my brothers. Enlisted in '69 and spent his tour patrolling the Wall.

I wa a Korean linguist, spent the Bicentennial year in Korea. I was there when those two American officers up on the DMZ were hacked to death by North Korean soldiers. We were that close to another war.

In the scale of things this may be minor, but: I’m repeatedly annoyed at SNL for their recurring “Don Jr. and Eric” skits, because they consistently portray Don Jr. as being kind, caring, and smart. And from what I can tell, he’s none of those things.

But it’s a popular bit on the show, so I suppose they’ll go on enhancing the real Don Jr.'s reputation, undeservedly.
