“Trump has the charisma of a mortician, and the energy that makes Jeb Bush look like an Olympian.” May 25, 2023
This was spoken by Don Trump Jr. on his online Rumble platform, “Triggered with Don Jr.” And the name Triggered happens to be part of the title to his book, “Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us.” My book was originally titled, “It’s a Lie, It’s Fake News, It’s a Total Political Witch Hunt.” But Raymond, a friend of mine, suggested Donald’s Vanity Tantrums.” I’m sure glad I listened to him. It’s short and to the point unlike Don Jr’s.
Maybe Don Jr. made a faux pax because he seems to be really rooting for his dad. And perhaps he just got confused since he had been discussing Ron DeSantis run for president. Right before his infamous line, he conjectured that, “…Ron wants people to think that he’s like, ‘Trump-lite’ or something like that. He’s not, either on policy grounds or personality.” (Another emerging Trump family intellectual? Fear not — no.)
Or maybe, just maybe, Don Junior harbors a deep-seated resentment of his ole man for among other things, once slapping the shit out of him when he attended the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business as daddy Trump knocked on his dorm door to take him to a baseball game. His son wore a Yankee jersey as he opened the door. A roommate of Don, Scott Melker described that “…his father slapped him across the face, knocking him to the floor in front of all his classmates.” He made his son put on a blazer and tie.
There are plenty of examples of the son’s revenge against his father and patricide is found in history and mythology and maybe Don wanted to finally subliminally vindicate himself with a verbal rumble against papa. One example of patricide that comes to mind is Oedipus, a king of Thebes who killed his father and married his mother and in my humble opinion, this Trump family kind of action wouldn’t be unreasonable given what we now know about them.
Here are a few other interesting examples of patricide that might equal the symbolic doing-in of Trump by Don Jr. Kashyapa I of Sri Lanka around 473 CE killed his father King Dhatusena by sealing him inside a wall.
Crown Prince Dipendra of Nepal massacred most of his family at a party in 2001 before shooting himself in the head. That kind of action might make a toasty ending to a Shakespearean Mar-a-Lago affair. Who knows, maybe Don Junior continues to harbor resentment for his father slapping the shit out of him that day at Wharton School of Business.
And here’s a little song I wrote earlier this year to take the edge off daily trifles. Enjoy “Classified Documents”
Maybe Don Jr. should go back to Moscow to negotiate a new deal for a tower 'DUMP TOWER - shit on Putin' ...
