Donald Trump Jr has frantic meltdown on live national television
Donald Trump still seems to have no idea how to respond to yesterday’s release of his tax returns, and the confirmation that he’s flat broke, deeply in debt, and a financial criminal. On the other hand, Donald Trump Jr apparently decided that the best way to handle things was to go on live national television and have a crazed meltdown.
Donald Trump Jr went on Fox News this morning and delivered this disturbing and embarrassing performance, as captured by The Recount:

In this video clip, Donald Trump Jr sounds more frantic than ever, as if he’s arguing for his very existence – which in a way he is. Donald Trump is on track to lose everything: the election, his freedom, his business, you name it. And because Trump Junior is entirely dependent on his father’s house of cards, he’s just as vulnerable. Junior is also just as criminally on the hook as well.
The above video will do nothing to dispel the online conversations about how disturbingly Donald Trump Jr has been behaving in his recent public appearances. There is a widespread ongoing debate across social media about whether Junior is suffering from a worsening drug problem or an ongoing mental breakdown. We’ll see.
