An to answer Molly Jong-Fast's question, Jr. is most definitely not ok.

(10,885 posts)about naming his first son "Junior" because he feared the reflection if he turned out to be a loser and a disgrace to the name. Well, donnie has done his best in the disgrace department, but Junior has made chump's prediction come true. Losers - BOTH of them.

(25,750 posts)"junior". Kids deserve their own names.
Totally Tunsie
(10,885 posts)was more concerned about his own image rather than the needs of any son he might spawn. Big surprise there, right?
ETA: I was Married to a Jr. and we had two sons. It took every ounce of strength in my body to revolt against naming one of the boys "the 111" - no way, no how. In contrast, in a friend's family, they have a string going to the length of "the V".

(25,750 posts)I sometimes say out loud, "Huh. Not an original idea in four (or whatever) generations."
In the mid 1960s I worked for the Credit Bureau, in Tucson, AZ. Over and over again I saw the problem with naming a son "junior". Typically, the dad did not bother to use "senior", and often the son was equally casual about using "junior." If the son still lived at home, they had the same address. So now, junior is 18 or so, working at his first job, and trying to establish credit. With the exact same name and address, various clerks who dealt with the paperwork were often a bit careless about such things as the precise date of birth. The result was, that junior and senior's credit information became hopelessly confused. This was an especial problem when one of them was careless about such things as paying bills on time. While it was a bit more likely for that to be a problem with junior, sometimes it was senior who was the deadbeat. No matter. Either way, there was almost no chance of separating their credit information. If they'd had different names in the first place, this wouldn't have happened.
Had I married a man who thought our first son should be a junior, he'd have quickly learned how totally opposed I was to that. Fortunately, the man I did marry had zero interest in that.

(80,700 posts)When we had a son, I wanted him to have his own name. So did his dad. For the same reason, I wanted our daughter to have her own name and not be a junior me. Her dad was in complete agreement there, too.
They deserve their own identity, their own names, their own nickname developed from their names - not a "junior" anybody.
PoindexterOglethorpe
(25,750 posts)And we can still name our children after others who have gone before us.
My oldest has his maternal grandfather's first name. The younger one, a different version of a great-uncle's name.

Trump is a moron. His offspring are all morons that have benefitted from a corrupt system that awards rich people's failures with more riches.
Jr. is not having a nervous break down. He is jacked up on Cocaine or some other stimulant and is displaying the same wannabe defiant, whiny attitude that his dad has.

This family is a scourge to us all. Does he really think anyone other than those who are already brain dead enough to believe what they say will do anything more than laugh at his stoned screed? These people used to be ignored as stupid and problems. Damn I would love to go back to ignoring the stupid.

I am pretty sure that drugs are probably the reason that Senior's lack of coherence is due to long term drug abuse as well. I've seen it in people before and it really destroys your brain.

Oh, and he said these nice things way before he ever had to work with them. He has always been fond of dictators. He has two lifetime subscriptions to 'Fascist Dictator Monthly,' so he can keep one intact and put up the pinup from the other.

(51,432 posts)Trump Jr. says father only praised Putin, Xi to 'play' them [View all]
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.

(9,670 posts)Little old ladies? Preachers? Businessmen? The rich? Seems none of them would give a shit what this obviously addled dude has to say. The fact that he is spawn to the Reptile may be his only nexus to popularity.
Can you believe there are many people who want this addict to run for President one day? It boggles the mind.
