to 'play' themDonald Trump Jr. said on Wednesday that the praise his father, former President Donald Trump, showered on world leaders like China's Xi Jinping, North Korea's Kim Jong Un, and Russia's Vladimir Putin was all part of a strategy to "play" them.
In a video posted on his Rumble account, Trump Jr. said his father is someone who knows how to deal with "powerful men" and that he "had it right all along" when it came to dealing with foreign leaders.
"So my father understands that, you know, men will blow up deals over ego. I've seen it my whole life, and my father's certainly seen it. Because he's dealt with powerful, egotistical people his entire life. He's built a brand around dealing with those people. World leaders aren't any different," Trump Jr. said.
"He knew exactly how to play these guys, and he played it like a fiddle," he added, while also noting that his father's flattery of foreign leaders was not an act of "capitulation."

(26,161 posts)Why do you think it's okay to say something like this? Trump is straight.
If you know he is straight, why are you suggesting he is a gay male bottom who wants a man to either anally fuck him or he wants to suck on a penis.
Why would a straight man do that????
The only logical assumption is that you think being a gay male bottom is an insult, or even just like sex with another man is an insult.
Why do you think that's an insult? Why don't you think it's just disgustingly homophobic and even sexist?
Hmmm?
Please explain this.

(18,835 posts)(Not ha-ha funny) how we will universally decry homophobia elsewhere while tolerating it right here.
I'm sure someone will come along to explain how it's ok when "we" do it and this isn't "really" homophobic
ETA> I am surprised, perhaps we are getting better

Did Kim give up his nukes?

Good luck selling this, Junior!

(52,392 posts)In the toxic relationship between a malignant narcissist and their sycophants, both sides are trying to manipulate the other. Putin forces everyone to praise him and to do his bidding. But the same time, the people around him know that the only way to be heard and to have their own requests met is to cater to the narcissist and to praise them and never criticize them and never bring them bad news and so on.
So yeah. Donnie was trying to play putin, and sure, he probably got something out of it.
Thing is, though, putin won the lottery in terms of all Donnie gave him; meanwhile, from what I can tell, everything Donnie got out of putin was for personal gain, not for America's gain.

Hey Dumbass - Your father IS the very person you describe - a man whose ego rules his every moment, often disastrously.
Your father knows jack-shit, and you know less. Shut up and sit down.

Juniors self-destructive behavior could be life-endangering.
