There is nothing quite as infuriating as hearing a billionaire whine that the whole world is set up for him to fail, but Donald Trump, Jr. has never minded playing that role. On Twitter, the social media platform where his dad is permanently banned from posting after inciting a lethal riot against our own government, Junior is still complaining about how unfairly the Trumps have been treated by the media. Sympathy, however, is hard to come by at the moment for anyone with the last name Trump.

These people are the self-appointed arbiters of moral decency in the world today and that should scare the shit out of us all.

Also worth noting it doesn’t end oil transportation it just forces oil companies to spend more money shipping oil on Warren Buffets rail lines.
See how that works? It’s not environmental policy it’s a kickback to democrat donors and nothing more. https://t.co/PwRrMRwTbO

Junior’s grievance narrative was on full display with his out-of-context and misleading examples of the unfairness of the U.S. media and how it took his dad down. His tweet includes a screenshot of a Washington Post article with a tweet from a now deleted account refuting it as proof of the media’s lies. The truth is that the claim lacks context, but Junior is a big fan of out-of-context claims.
His second tweet included a story about “Antifa,” the pretend organization that right-wingers like Junior have insisted were liberal radicals unleashed by the Democratic Party against his father. In the story, people aligned with an anti-fascist ideology attacked a Democratic Party headquarters in Oregon, but he missed the irony of the retweet and insisted the tear gas should be blamed on Biden since the use of tear gas was once blamed on his father.
There’s more missing context: Trump was blamed when the military went into the park across from the White House and gassed people who were, at the time, peacefully protesting, exercising their constitutional right to assemble in protest of our government. They were tear gassed to clear them out of the park so that Trump could pose for a photo op in front of a church holding a Bible. Trump has been tweeting for weeks that protesters would be shot, saying “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
That context is important.
Twitter is pretty much over the self-proclaimed multi-billionaire’s son complaining about how unfair life is for him. Read some of their comments below:
