White House staffers call Donny Jr. "Fredo"

[BainsBane]

also referring to him as an "idiot." This according to a Daily Beast reporter on the Chris Hayes show.

So to all DUers making the Fredo references, you're not alone!




Sources also say Daddy is fuming at Fredo's history-making fuck up.

1. FUME FUME FUME.........more.....

[BainsBane]

5. It warms my heart

to think of him in distress as he sees his house of cards starting to tubmle around him.

[virtualobserver]

2. Trump always blames others when things go wrong

I'm sure that he was totally in the loop at the time.

[BainsBane]

3. No question about it

But he's pissed those emails have surfaced.

[Kaleva]

6. It'd be poetic justice if Trump ends up being done in because of those emails

[groundloop]

17. Even more poetic if Jr. decides to flip against him

I'd read a story a while ago that 45* picked Jr. up at his college to go to a ballgame and 45* punched his son in the face because he wasn't wearing a suit. I'm guessing there's not a lot of love or respect for the old man, just a lot of fear.

26. And now they can look at ALL his emails. I'm sure there are gonna be plenty of goodies there.

4. ....

[BainsBane]

8. So who do you suppose

will take Donnie junior out in the boat? Ivanka or Jared?

[Kingofalldems]

9. Bannon.

[BainsBane]

11. Of course

the enforcer. The Trump's don't like to get their hands dirty.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. He'd Accidentally Shoot Himself

All liquored up and with a pistol. Fredo would row the boat back to shore with Bannon dead from a self-inflicted gunshot.

[aikoaiko]

7. That's funny!

[LeftInTX]

10. I had to look up "Fredo"

I couldn't figure it out.

I've never seen the Godfather series. (Yes I am totally deprived)

Fredo Corleone

[BainsBane]

14. I'll correct my spelling

thanks. You should really see the Godfather trilogy.

[LeftInTX]

15. I really should.

[BainsBane]

18. The second is the best one

but the first is also excellent.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. What BB Said

1 is terrific. 2 is epic. 3 not so much.

However, the Saga which is a re-edit of the first two movies end to end and time sequence consistent, is an amazing watch for someone who wants to know the whole story. Lots of editing room floor stuff back into it as well.

It's long, but it's really good.

[brer cat]

23. I've never watched it either.

I guess I'd better look for it or I'll never keep up with all the references on DU.

[BainsBane]

25. Not because of that

but because they are very good movies.

[mucifer]

27. Yeah, I just googled him and both photos from the movie and photos of junior came up

[Bleacher Creature]

12. It's definitely funny, but it doesn't work.

Fredo's stupidity became an issue because Michael was always considered to be the smart one.

Junior may be as dumb as Fredo, but there's certainly no Michael in that family.

[BainsBane]

16. This comment

captured the analogy perfectly:

5. It's like a bad remake of The Godfather, but every member of the family is Fredo.

[Bleacher Creature]

24. That really is perfect. Thanks!

[The Wielding Truth]

13. Fredo and Benedict Donald. An idiot and a traitor. What a Family!

[flamingdem]

19. But he'll skate and Jarred will go down

because he signed papers -- according to Lawrence on msnbc

[BainsBane]

20. Maybe they'll both go down

I'm an eternal optimist.

[sheshe2]

21. Fredo and the Don

[Gothmog]

22. For this thread

[mainstreetonce]

30. There was a rumor

When the Access Hollywood tape was released ,there was rumor that someone related to the Apprentice had another tape. Trump was said to have used the N word and to have called his son a "retard". The son was apparently junior who had angered his father by a bad real estate deal.

[BainsBane]

31. Even by Trump standards

which is an extremely low bar, the kid is an idiot.
