32. Don Jr is way behind the times, plagiarizing Reddit content that's a decade old.

He's clearly getting this stuff from the usual places: Reddit, 4Chan/8Chan/whatever-the-hell-they-call-it-now, the ".win" sites, etc. This latest outburst from Don Jr is just stock boilerplate copy, unaltered and plagiarized. It is, however, a good example of how this garbage is mainstreamed: first it shows up on the Pepe chud sites like the ".wins", next it moves to 8Chan and Reddit, then on to the "think" tanks and the talkers like PragerU and Don Jr, and later it becomes accepted vernacular at places like Fox "News".
