Donald Trump Jr just admitted he thinks Donald Trump is going to lose and they’re all going to prison
When the news broke today that the New York Attorney General is targeting Donald Trump for his financial crimes, and that Eric Trump is about to be deposed, Palmer Report pointed out that Donald Trump Jr was in even more trouble than his brother. After all, these investigations always move up the ladder, not down. Now it turns out Donald Trump Jr agrees with our assessment.
According to an interestingly-timed new article from the New York Times today, Donald Trump Jr has been telling a close confidant that “we’re losing” the 2020 election – and that he’s worried they’ll all be federally prosecuted once Donald Trump does lose the election. This revelation is buried dozens of paragraphs deep in what otherwise reads like a puff piece – but it’s the real story here, and it takes on a new significance in light of today’s news out of New York.
It sounds like Donald Trump Jr, for all his paranoid delusional conspiracy theories and overall cluelessness, might be the one person within the Trump family who understands that their lives are basically already over. If we double down on winning strategies like voter registration and voter turnout, Donald Trump will lose the election, and then it’ll be a race to see if the Trumps are arrested on state or federal charges first.
