You know, one of the things that you hope for when you have children is that they will grow up to still love and respect their parents. Some kids have more incentive than others, like cushy jobs and trust funds. I’d like to say that it’s nice that Eric and little Donnie are springing to their fathers defense. But maybe they should have taken a couple of messaging courses in those posh and cushy schools.
Sometimes perseverance has its rewards. Politico suffered through da boyz interviews with Good Morning America today, and came away with all kinds of goodies. For starters, their father is a total victim in all of this investigation stuff going down. But according to the article, the fun started with the almost Ice Capades verbal dance routing about the investigations;
“It's the greatest hoax of all time. I was there throughout the campaign. We have no dealings in Russia. We have no projects in Russia. We have nothing to do with Russia,” Eric Trump said in the pretaped interview in which the brothers appeared on camera separately.
“I mean, to me it's without a question you know, reads and smells like a witch hunt,” Donald Trump Jr. said in his own interview.
It’s nice to know that these two silk shorts, Y-chromosome mutants share more than just a name and unbridled greed, dull wits and amnesia also run in the family genes. They’ve managed to forget Eric’s brag about the disproportionate Russian investment in the Trump organization to a writer during a 9 hole round of golf in 2014, even if the rest of us haven’t. But this was the big takeaway for me;
Both Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. made the remarks in interviews with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” although neither son claimed to have spoken to their father about the various probes. (italics mine)
OK, these investigations are pretty much 75% of the daily media coverage, and these two inheritance leeches have been intricately involved in the campaign since pretty much day one, but neither one of them has spoken to the old man about them? The family must share psychic genes as well since the little tykes are using the exact words of their father.
But neither one of Trump’s hereditary issue is a one trick pony. In a different article Dunce Jr backed his fathers play in planting a knee in the nuts of London’s mayor while he struggled with a tragedy in his city;
“Rather than the mayor of London attacking maybe he should do something about it,” Donald Trump Jr. said in an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “Maybe he should do something to fix the problem rather than just sit there and pretend there isn't one. I think that's an important message.” (italics mine)
Am I the only one here that seems to remember that the Mayor of London disdained from even responding personally to Trump’s childish tantrum, leaving it to a spokesman to advise the world that the Mayor was just a wee too busy dealing with a crisis to respond directly to a sniveling walking diaper stain? But Mini Me didn’t mind twisting the shiv, stating emphatically that just like with every other mean spirited, derogatory tweet Trump has ever put out, Daddy would in time be vindicated as right with this one as well.
But it was up to Eric Trump to do the heavy lift and completely shift the focus and coverage to safer ground. And in his interview, like everything else he does, Eric failed miserably, by bringing up Daddums possible conflicts of interest again;
“We don't talk about the activities. We don't talk about what we're doing in the business. We don't — we just don't mix,” Trump said in the pretaped interview, in which he also told reporter Tom Llamas that he had shared profit reports with the president. “It doesn't blur the lines. You're allowed to show that and remember, the president of the United States has zero conflicts of interest. Zero.”
Nice going space cadet. Back before we even knew that there was a Russia investigation, the entire country had memorized the Emoluments Clause, and the general consensus was that simply allowing his two previous family tax deductions to run his crumbling Roman Empire was not a sufficient defense. People were worried about countries other than Russia tossing cash at Trump businesses in return for favors and goodies. Maybe that’s why Abu Dhabi let its lease lapse on its office in Trump Tower. But let’s just take a little stroll down memory lane back to the good old days without pesky little things like special prosecutors, congressional hearings, proof and all of that shit.
Who needs like a high powered PR firm, or a qualified crisis management team when you have backup like this? He’s got his divorce lawyer dealing with a federal investigation that could turn into an impeachment proceeding, and his kids, with two golden shovels, digging the hole a little deeper. And if all of that fails, Ivanka can always stride out and update the masses with how she’s empowering all of those $1 a day women at her foreign sweatshops. This whole thing should die down by Friday.
