Looks like the Trump kids are having a bad day.

Video here:



First Ivanka and now Donnie Jr. (Where's Eric?)

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/donald-trump-jr-foundation-charity-interview-228223

Donald Trump Jr.'s interview with a Pennsylvania TV station ended abruptly after a reporter asked the Republican presidential candidate's eldest son about Washington Post reports that Trump used foundation funds to pay for a portrait of himself at an auction.

“You’re a director of the Trump Foundation charity. Did you sign off on charity money for a portrait?” WTAE reporter Bob Mayo asked in a segment aired Wednesday evening, with the Trump Organization executive in town to open his father's western Pennsylvania campaign headquarters.

Trump Jr. responded, "No, I don't know anything about that."

As Mayo asked, "So how come you didn't know," a voice off-camera said, "All right. That's it. ... We have to move on to the next ... next one, thank you."

The interview was not the only instance Wednesday of one of Trump's children bristling at an interviewer's line of questioning. Daughter Ivanka Trump objected to a Cosmopolitan.com reporter's mentioning of her father's 12-year-old comments about pregnancy being an "inconvenience for business" as she promoted the campaign's new child care plan.


And that doesn't even touch the whole "gas chamber" crack.

Personally, I think it would be hilarious if TrumpPaintingGate is the scandal that breaks Trump. It has that whole snowballing feel to it, where something that was thought of as petty and insignificant at the time ends up being a whole lot more important.

Out sodomizing farm animals, some people might say, or maybe throwing lotion into a pit for his captive to rub on its skin.

Given the tRump's propensity for lying, I doubt that those "boys" shot the animals. They likely just posed for the photo. The entire family should sue their dentist. He loaded too many teeth into those little anus looking mouths.

in the first segment of the nightly news on any of the big networks? I can say with certainty it was at least the fifth story on ABC, and even then following an update on Hillary's health.

Edit: And the 30-second ABC spot didn't even mention anything other than the "gas chamber" flap.

Except Hillary had actual experience and knowledge into the things she was charged with heading up as First Lady.

Ivanka's just a pretty face to cover up for an ugly surname.

Otherwise, why wouldn't he let Melania talk about social issues?

It seems as if he's setting Ivanka up to be the next Harriet Lane (James Buchanan's niece and First Lady...), while the current Missus Trump just comes to the state events with her mouth shut and her dress low-cut. Or maybe he'll replace her for a newer, less pouty model with less baggage.

And the media says - "Ok. Thank you".

Meanwhile when it comes to Hillary, they are like Lauer - a pit bull that locks on and won't unlatch the jaws. And then we spend the next week with the usual lineup of babbling talking heads reiterating what they deem as her campaign being "non-responsive" with "a lack of transparency".

Trump World™ is a fraud and they know it. But they are determined to grade them on a curve.
