Stay classy, Trump Jr!
Someone needs to tell him that when he says dumb things, it reflects badly on dear ol’ dad.
I read the article Donald Trump Jr. was referencing and London’s Mayor did indeed say … Sadiq Khan has said he believes the threat of terror attacks are “part and parcel of living in a big city” and encouraged Londoners to be vigilant to combat dangers.
The comment starts off the article.
So it’s kinda weird that the New York Times would twist the narrative against a Trump and it would get quoted here as factual? Now, I cannot say why Donald Trump Jr. decided to point out the irony of the comment to the person who said it but I would guess that he felt that since someone made the comment about the New York incident they should remember what they said before saying anything about their own terrorist incident?
I don’t have the answers, just the original article quoted, to show that the tweet was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative.
In wake of the London attack today, with people dying and still fighting for their lives in hospital, Donald Trump Jr didn’t send condolences - instead he dragged up an old article to attack London’s Mayor - and even fucked that up by taking The Mayor’s words out of context, or just not understanding them.
Yet you think that tweet from him was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative?
Really?
In America, we have freedom of speech. None of us have to like what he said and I never claimed to agree with what he said on any level. I am sad to hear about what happened and the U.K. and I am personally glad the sob was shot and killed.
Freedom of speech is in a lot of places, and has nothing to do with what I said.
You said ‘…to show that the tweet was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative.’

Would you like to answer the question about whether you think that tweet from him was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative?
Jason, you and I get along well, and I’m not going to argue platitudes with you. I don’t support what he said, I don’t like what he said, but he has the right to say it. I read the U.K. article and the article does indeed start out the way I posted it. I took nothing out of context but it is obvious that a lot of people feel that Donald Jr. did. Cool, I’m not arguing their right to do so, nor am I arguing about people feeling that way.
Now, if that U.K. article is wrong, they should be printing a retraction, and apologize to London’s Mayor for it. I don’t know either the London Mayor or Donald Jr. so I cannot and will not speak for them. It would have been appropriate for him to offer condolences but I cannot answer why he didn’t nor can I make him do it. As you said, he is responsible for his own words and actions, not me not you nor his Father. I am more concerned about my fellow human beings overseas than I am about what he said.
That’s all very well - but the only question was, and is, a simple one:-
Do you think that tweet from him (Trump Jnr) was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative?
