Trump Jr. made the same case in Kentucky Thursday at a very small fundraising rally for flailing Gov. Matt Bevin (R-KY). According to Public Radio statehouse reporter Ryland Barton, Trump Jr. bragged about his father, said that the GOP was diverse and then claimed he wasn’t a racist because he’s “dating a Puerta Rican.”

But it was Trump Jr.’s take on why he understands the plight of the Rust Belt where he may have gone too far.

“Trump Jr says he partly grew up in the Rust Belt because he went to a boarding school in Pottstown, PA, understands working class issues,” tweeted Barton.

“This not your grandfather’s Democrat Party, this is socialism,” claimed Trump Jr.

1. sorta sorry for him

No doubt all the boys spent time in boarding schools. Does anybody think Trumpf was a real father to any of them. Don Jr. is a man still looking for his father's approval. I wonder how far away from Trumpf Melania keeps her son. No one means a thing to Trump Melania a trophy he drags everywhere. Money. That's it.

3. Oh boo effing hooo

Screw that entitled little stool sample

EDITED TO ADD -

My mom was abandoned in an orphanage at 7, and then essentially let out for slave labor starting age 12 on farms in Iowa in the late 30s early 40s. She grew up to be 100000 to the nth power better human being than any Trump trash DESPITE not having the advantage of a trust and a silver spoon around her neck.

2. Has nobody on Trump's team instructed him to muzzle his two idiot sons?

Every time they open their mouths they make things worse. This family is a perfect argument for eugenics. If we could just stop them from breeding.

‘You Better Give Our Dad A Good Trade Deal Or You’ll Be Sorry!’ Shout Angry Trump Boys On Phone With Employee Of Local Chinese Restaurant"



WASHINGTON—Issuing a series of threats and warnings to gain the East Asian government’s cooperation, an angry Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump reportedly shouted “You better give our dad a good trade deal or you’ll be sorry!” while on the phone Thursday with an employee of a local Chinese food restaurant. “If you don’t stop trying to do bad things to our dad’s smart idea for a trading deal, you’re gonna be in a whole lot of big trouble,” said Donald Jr., repeatedly interrupting the confused employee’s efforts to ask for their order to criticize the Chinese government ramping up a trade war with the United States, then covering the speaker with his hand and assuring his brother that “they’re definitely super afraid of us and gonna give in.” “Look, we got way cooler stuff than you guys, so you better keep letting our junk into your dumb country. And tell your pal King Jong-un [sic] not to mess with the trade deal either, or Dad’s gonna be real mad and then nuke all of you with the army. We need 100 more dollars to make the deal work and that’s our final offer. And no trade-backs! Hold on, my brother wants to yell at you now.” At press time, the baffled restaurant employee was trying to confirm the order of a large General Tso’s chicken and pot stickers while the Trump boys frantically tried to untangle themselves from the phone cord.

5. ...because nothing says immersion into working class issues

more than being enrolled in private boarding school in the area.

6. If Repuke voters in KY were the only ones to suffer from their idiocy of voting for Repukes

then I would not be as bent out of shape by said idiocy... but GODDAMNIT!!!

How can you not see that you are being "spat at in the face" every day by Trump et al??? "I'm not racist b/c I have a Puerto Rican girlfriend... I know what it means to be working class b/c I went to boarding school in PA..." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU BUY THIS SHIT???

Elitist punk warn about what now?.?

9. "Small"?

"in Kentucky Thursday at a very small fundraising rally for flailing Gov. Matt Bevin (R-KY)."

To describe it as small is fake news. It was matchbox size

10. ....where the tuition is $61,410.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.phillyvoice.com/donald-trump-jr-says-hill-school-pottstown-taught-him-about-working-class/amp/

..."The school Trump was referencing is The Hill School, a boarding school located 40 miles outside of Philadelphia in Montgomery County. Trump attended The Hill School as a teenager, before enrolling at the University of Pennsylvania.
.....

The current annual tuition at The Hill School is $61,410 for boarding students, and $42,370 for day students. Median household income in the United States in 2017 was $61,372, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.".....(more)

13. I used to play soccer and tennis against those elitist

MFers.

I went to a small artistic/hippie boarding and day school near New Hope, PA and we’d often defeat those elite school teams for a variety of reasons. I recall one match I had against the second-singles guy from the Hill School. Defeated him in straight sets and he couldn’t believe he lost to this long-haired Jew.

Same was true at Pennington Prep and those anti-Semitic assholes at Penn Charter in Philly.

12. If he wanted to go there, why didn't he talk about how he was a bartender

out West after he graduated college? Jr. didn't want anything to do with his father and chose a vocation and a location far away from him. Plus, being bartender may have given Jr. some cred in KY.
