Oh no! It's moron vs. moron!!!

Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. are in a 'cold war' for their father's favor and reportedly suspect each other of planting damaging stories

https://news.yahoo.com/ivanka-trump-donald-trump-jr-123218454.html

Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the oldest children of US President Donald Trump, suspect each other of planting damaging stories in the press to harm each other, according to a new report.

Citing aides, officials, and former Trump organization employees, a report from The Atlantic painted a picture of siblings who are constantly vying for their father's attention and approval.

"Tell your people to stop trashing me to the media," Donald Trump Jr. reportedly told his sister after a negative story appeared about him in the press.

Spokespeople for both Ivanka and Trump Jr. denied the incident, and said there is no rift between the siblings, The Atlantic reported.

Trump has always pitted everyone close to him or who has worked for him against each other. He’s doing it now in the White House. He’s doing it to the American people.

It’s what he does.

Both of these halfwits think they are going to be the nominee in 2024. Let them destroy each other so we don't have to see that train wreck in public.

Most accessions to the throne are the result of familial murders.

The best way to kill off your sibling to gain the throne....or kill off the king to gain the throne.

9. I remember reading back in 2017 that Jared said Ivanka would be the first female president.

Said next to her father, she'd be the best president in U.S. history.

I wish I could remember the publication, not that it much matters because we all know it's true: next to her father, she'd be the best at being the worse in U. S. history.

The article also compared them to the Kennedy's.

13. I think the Consitution still requires that the President be a human being.

I don't think a plastic Barbie® would meet the requirement.

Birds of a Trumpian feather may not always flock together, given dysfunctional upbringings coupled with a dog-eat-dog mentality and mirrored sociopathic tendencies. When matter and anti-matter shake hands, well....POOF!!!
