Much like his father, Donald Trump Jr. is outraged that his family is being held accountable for their alleged crimes, so he thought he’d go on right-wing Newsmax and complain.
Appearing Monday evening on The Balance, Junior was asked by host Eric Bolling if he would be testifying in his old man’s civil fraud trial currently taking place in New York.
“Yeah, I’m going in, I believe, on Wednesday. So you know, we get to continue yet another sham.”
“We’ve seen the bias, we’ve seen, you know, Michael Cohen lie under oath, literally get caught, literally perjured himself in front of— you know, admitted perjury beyond what he already went to prison for,” he added.
But it was what Don Jr. said next that drew the most laughter and ire on social media:
“It shows you what happens when you’re in a kangaroo court, Eric. It doesn’t matter what the rules are, it doesn’t matter what the Constitution says, it doesn’t matter what general practices and business would be. It doesn’t matter. They have a narrative, they have an end goal, and they’ll do do whatever it takes to get there.”
The oldest son of the failed one-term ex-president concluded:
“I think the people understand that. They see what Joe Biden is doing. You see the checks, you see the wire transfers, you wonder why the grandchildren are getting checks from the Chinese government. You know, those are all reasonable questions and yet no one asks them. Our mainstream media, the people in DC, unwilling to ask it, but they want to throw Trump in jail for a thousand years and/or the death penalty. Truly sick stuff, but this is why we fight.”
Don Jr says “they want to throw Trump in jail for a thousand years and/or the death penalty”, then laughs about it. (Video: Newsmax) pic.twitter.com/kjubE1tDva

Reaction on Twitter was immediate.
I would tell Junior that while 1,000 years may be justified, it’s overkill. 15 years would be fine.

Speaking of “Daddy issues.”

I’m fine with either. He deserves it.

The good news for Junior is that he’ll be able to share a cell with daddy. And Ivanka is not there, daddy will want to … well …

A thousand years seemed reasonable but he’s got about another 20-25 years before Satan comes a calling
