The attack on Paul Pelosi was terrifying. A man broke into the house of the 82-year-old husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the middle of the night and hit him with a hammer. Paul Pelosi suffered a fractured skull among other injuries. The intruder shouted, wheres Nancy?
Donald Trump Jr. appears to thinks its funny.
Late Sunday night, Trump Jr. shared an image on social media of a hammer and a pair of underwear with the words Got my Paul Pelosi Halloween costume ready. Trump Jr. wrote: The Internet remains undefeated. (Sidebar: Im not going to share a link to Trump Jr.s post. You can find it on the internet if you so choose.)
Which, even by the low standards set by the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, is egregiously bad. But, unfortunately, not unexpected.
Trump Jr., even more so than his famous father, has reveled in the idea that he is the king of the deplorables someone willing to say and do things that other people want to but are too afraid. Trump Jr.s MO has always been as it likely will be for this incident that he is just joking, and that people need to stop taking themselves so seriously. Hes the cool guy who doesnt ever get offended while the rest of us are the squares who are forever on outrage watch.

They know they will get a pass from the deplorables everytime!

(38,414 posts)7. I am not surprised by anything Trump or Trump Jr. does.
We have seen who they are and what they are.
In a nutshell, they are the worst human beings that one can imagine.
