Donald Trump Jr floats utterly deranged claim to try to get his dad off the Saudi Arabia hook
What is wrong with Donald Trump Jr these days? Properly explaining that would require several legal teams, and for that matter, a team of psychologists. Even as Donald Trump strategically pushes one deranged phony conspiracy after another in the hope of firing up his mentally incompetent base, Trump Junior seems to actually believe this nonsense.
Donald Trump’s personal allegiance to Saudi Arabia has been obvious from the start. He and his son-in-law Jared Kushner are clearly financially dependent on their relationship with the Saudi Crown Prince, which has emboldened the Prince to do whatever he wants. At the least, Trump and Kushner played a negligent role in the Crown Prince’s decision to murder Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi. Even as Trump hems and haws and struggles to figure out how to respond to the worsening scandal, and Kushner hides under his desk, Junior has come up with what he thinks is the perfect strategy.
Donald Trump Jr has decided to retweet some questionable propaganda about Khashoggi from 1988 which draws an unsubstantiated line between him and Osama bin Laden. That’s right, Junior is literally trying to paint a Washington Post writer as a pro-Bin Laden terrorist sympathizer, in order to justify the fact that he was just murdered.
Michael Avenatti now thinks that Donald Trump Jr will be indicted by the end of the year. The big question may be whether he’s placed in jail or in a rubber room after he’s indicted and arrested. Junior may be firing up Trump’s psychotic base with this nonsense, but he’s not helping his father overall.
