Donald Trump Jr criticised ‘enriched elites’, and if ever a call was coming from inside the house … 17 scathing clapbacks
You can tell that Donald Trump is in squeaky bum territory – on many occasions quite literally – because he has created the first Republican Midterms Convention to try and drum up a little more enthusiasm for the party in the coming elections. And to bring in the donations, of course. Grifters gonna grift.
The convention has been lacklustre, to say the least, and enthusiasm for the GOP has been so poor that attendance has been noticeably low.

It wouldn’t be a Trump (pick a Trump, any Trump) speech without a hefty portion of hypocrisy, and Junior nailed the brief with this attack on ‘enriched elites’. Yes, really!

And to think his sperm donor didn’t wanna name him after himself in case he turned out to be a fucking idiot.
Alas.

In any sense of that word.
