In this clip, Donald Trump Jr. claims he "grew up" in a communist country, and knows what it's like to wait "in breadlines". Junior also suggests that he grew up in "Czechoslovakia", a country that hasn't existed since 1993.

1. Project much Sonny!

Typical Family response. Just following in his Daddies footsteps.

[mopinko]

2. group psychosis. getting worse.

[SWBTATTReg]

3. Ah, the real Fredo speaks at last, that his daddy spoke about earlier...

[Hassler]

4. And people say Erik is the dumbest of the Drumpfster Fire clan

[Frustratedlady]

5. He grew up in Czechoslavakia? He stood in bread lines?

His father didn't pay child support? He still speaks to and supports his father? Why?

I'd say lying is inherited. Who knew?

6. The ash-borer beetle doesn't fall far from the ash.

[Maeve]

7. I want to see his evidence---passport records, etc

Ivana took him to the store? Daddy didn't support him? I believe him about as far as I could comfortably spit a rat

[CatMor]

8. I thought i was reading the Onion ....

he really said it and it's laughable.

[calguy]

9. This does prove one thing

They are scared of Bloomberg and are starting to attack him. They don't realize Mike will hit them back swiftly and bigly. All the more reason for me to support Bloomberg. As Bloomberg rises watch the Senate lose interest in investigating the Bidens.

10. he's gotta be working on a new comedy routine, right?

11. "One time when we were visiting my grandparents I ordered the maid to go stand in a bread line."

[nolabear]

12. That is the craziest goddam thing he's ever said.

And he’s said some craaaaaaaazy goddam things. He’s so much like his father. And daddy’s still never going to love him.

[Bob Loblaw]

13. And when there was no crawdad to be found

He ate sand.

[miyazaki]

14. Did they own the bakery?

[smirkymonkey]

15. God, he is such a SPAZ!

What a freak show! He never stood in any "bread lines". He's a total liar, just like his father. And he thinks his father relates to the humble blue collar workers? His father and their whole family despises those people and they are just using them because they are stupid and gullible and will swallow any shit that he dishes out.

His father would have every blue collar worker reduced to abject poverty with no safety-nets, no healthcare, no food, shelter or means to fight back. He just knows how easy they are to manipulate and that is why he pretends to like them. It's so cynical and disgusting.

Ugh, I hate him so much. I am beginning to think he is just as horrible as his father. He is certainly just as stupid.

At least Bloomberg has actually DONE things that have actually helped people who were not in his class and has a proven record of improving conditions in NYC. He's not my ideal candidate, but if he can fuck up Trump, I'm on his side. https://www.mikebloomberg.com/about?gclid=CjwKCAiAhJTyBRAvEiwAln2qBz-LuFSxJIyzwlJb29XCgjC8T-TaSS4ekBlZcZVVVZMYk5ujInJ0qRoCQBAQAvD_BwE

31. Amen!

I absolutely can’t stand the sight of him. He is a grade-A asshole, and he has the worst case of resting smirk-face I’ve ever seen. And he drives me nuts with that fake Thurston Howell III fake “rich” accent that he uses. Ugh. He is repulsive, just like dear old dad.

[smirkymonkey]

32. I used to feel sorry for him when I heard that Trump Sr. smacked him for wearing a

baseball jersey when he went to pick him up at college for a baseball game. He told him to put on a suit and meet him in the limo. I thought that was incredibly cruel and humiliating.

Now that I know more about Jr., I am kind of thinking that I would have rather seen Sr. beat Jr. senseless with a baseball bat and then see Jr. get up and beat Sr. back with the same bat. Sorry Mods, just a sick little fantasy I have. Just joking. Kind of.

[SharonClark]

16. And the Faux News viewers believed him!!!

[world wide wally]

17. Too stupid for words

[magicarpet]

18. Drama club while in prep school,...

He was in a play about the Communist Soviet State.

[bamagal62]

19. WTF is he talking about?

[underpants]

20. Too funny

[lpbk2713]

21. Assholery runs in the family.

There's no denying it.

22. I'm sorry you had to go through that

23. The Trumps are not shy about proclaiming how much they have 'sacrificed'.

"I gave up my life to move to Washington to help Americans," Ivanka Trump says in Davos interview.

24. Uh huh

[Botany]

25. Czechoslovakia hasn't been a country for 25 years.

When the communists were falling and Vaclav Havel had just taken over I spent
some time there and Donny Jr. doesn't know what is talking about. But to the Fox
News watchers they think he is making sense and are just lapping that shit up.

[Stinky The Clown]

26. In fairness, his mother took him often to Czechoslovakia (and what it morphed into) as a kid.

He also speaks the language with reasonable fluency.

[Skittles]

27. what a fucking tool he is

he's the kind of guy that would say I'VE KNOWN WHAT IT IS TO BE HUNGRY BUT I ALWAYS WENT TO A RESTAURANT

[smirkymonkey]

33. Yeah, he waited in the line to make fun of poor people and then when he got bored and hungry

he left and went to McDonalds. Miserable, stupid POS!

[Midnightwalk]

28. Fredo and the trumps are moles

Think about it. Fredo wouldn’t dishonor his family by lying. So he grew up in a Soviet satellite country. Probably was groomed by the kgb since he was a toddler.

I can’t figure out if I’m lying, crying or dying

[blueinredohio]

29. He's as delusional as his dad.

[The Genealogist]

30. I can't imagine him ever standing in line, for bread or anything else

WT absolute F, dude?

[Olafjoy]

34. Really Dude?

Cool story, bro.

35. "The biggest influence on my life was an informer for the secret police!"

... The StB had been interested in Trump since 1977, when he married a Czechoslovakian-born woman ... News of the wedding reached the StB bureau in Zlín ... Ivana’s father, Miloš, regularly gave the StB information on his daughter’s visits from the US and his son-in-law’s burgeoning career. The StB’s work on Donald and Ivana intensified in the late 1980s, after Trump let it be known he was thinking of running for president ...

No wonder Jr was involved in the Trump Tower meeting: the families Russia connections must go back decades.
