Trump Jr. says father only praised Putin, Xi to 'play' them

[AZProgressive]

Donald Trump Jr. on Wednesday said in a Rumble video that former President Trump only praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping to “play” them.

In the video, Trump Jr. said his father only praised the dictators because he “knew that flattering that man [Putin] would get you a lot more than calling him out and embarrassing him on a world stage.”

Most recently, Trump was seen at events calling Putin smart for his strategy leading up to the invasion of Ukraine.

“You call out a leader. You embarrass him, an ego-maniacal kind of person, whether it's Putin, whether it's Kim Jong Un [...] You call them out on a world stage and you embarrass them, what do you think is going to happen?” Trump Jr. said.

1. Yeah, that's it.

Wasn’t because Daddy was afraid of them.

[Diablo del sol]

16. Actually great insight from Jr.

It is exactly how he deals with his father.

Now his father is a gutless prick too. In both cases, it shows extreme weakness.

Some might call it being a delicate snowflake

[Brainfodder]

2. Meanwhile that is exactly what the leaders did to Waddle Dump?

3. Trump gets played by everyone

He just retreats into his bubble and they praise him.

4. Well, then, I guess 99% of Republican politicians are playing his daddy

[Hassler]

5. And people say Eric is the dumbest Trump.

[BigmanPigman]

6. They go back and forth like a yo-yo,

I can't keep up with Team tRump's ever changing position on Putin. Their messaging is all over the place.

7. Junior lived with the man, he's GOT to appreciate the irony of all that.

Even in junior's gooped up on gop state.

8. Thanks for that, Coke Zero

9. Seems like a good opportunity to post a 'Big Daddy' quote from 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'.

"What's that smell in this room? Didn't you notice it, Brick? Didn't you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room?"

10. So, if he gets reelected they're on to him...

Good job, Jr.

[Caliman73]

11. I didn't get my ass kicked, I was trying to hurt your hand with my face...

Makes about as much sense as what the idiot Jr. said.

How does saying "I sent a beautiful love letter to Kim" embarrass him? It embarrassed the United States in that we could elect such an obvious idiot as president.

This is what happens when you elect the bully from 5th grade, who was socially promoted all the way through school since then, as the president.

12. So he thinks this is some kind of game, huh.

More likely Jr and his hapless dad are lying. We see you squirming to get out of this trouble. Face it, everything you've done has been at the detriment of our country and exclusively for your own personal gain. Go rapture yourselves.

[kentuck]

13. Who else has he "played", Jr?

Does he think it is a game like the real estate business?

[AntiFascist]

14. 'play them' as in getting Moscow Trump Tower built...

same way he was 'playing' Zalensky in order to get reelected.

[madinmaryland]

15. Cocaine. It's a helluva drug.

[Baked Potato]

17. So why is Daddy Dump still praising Putin? Nt

18. Total bullshit. What did Americans get for Cheetolini 'playing'

Putin?

And why was he continuing to 'play' him after the invasion of Ukraine?

[honest.abe]

19. So like his father to make up stuff as the situation changes.

Trump often claimed he was just joking when criticized for making crazy controversial comments.

20. Was Trump playing his wives when he bragged about his adultery?
