In most political families, someone would be telling Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric to shut up right about now. But these are the Trumps, so Junior and Eric are probably hearing something more along the lines of “you tell ‘em, son” for running their respective mouths.
Junior is oppressed by wealth:
“Now, listen, in this country I’m the son of a billionaire, I can’t even have an opinion anymore,” Trump Jr. said on Breitbart News Daily. “I could be Albert Einstein and they would discredit me as a horrible scientist. It doesn’t matter.”
Uh huh. You poor thing, it sounds terrible. And it’s so unfair, Junior said, because his father “made us work” and “I’m the only son of a billionaire who can drive a D10 just because those were the jobs that I had growing up.” Brother Eric, meanwhile, has thoughts about his father's waterboarding plans:
"You see these terrorists that are flying planes into buildings, right? You see our cities getting shot up in California. You see Paris getting shot up," Eric Trump responded. "And then somebody complains when a terrorist gets waterboarded, which quite frankly is no different than what happens on college campuses and frat houses every day."
Okay, fratboy. You try being waterboarded by a CIA interrogator and then let us know how it compares to fraternity hazing.
Say this for Donald Trump (original version): He seems to have been an involved enough parent for his personality to have rubbed off on his kids.
