    Dude you appointed your kids to public servant roles… It’s you that subjected them to this.

    It’s just content tailored to his base to make him look oppressed. That’s why he keeps disregarding the gag order too.

    I bet his kids say, “I don’t recall” a thousand times anyway.

      Prosecution: “Is this your signature on the bottom of this document that I am now showing to the court?”

      Don Jr.: “I don’t recall.”

      Defense: “Objection, your honor. My client is blind and can’t reasonably testify.”

      Judge: "Overruled. Mr. Trump Jr. is clearly not blind. Also, he’s not your client.

      Trump, on the steps: “The judge is biased against me! He won’t even let my son testify to excommunicate me!”

      *How I expect it to go*

    He’s not worried about them. He’s worried that his idiot kids won’t be able to lie convincingly and it will ruin his defense.

    It always strikes me as strange when anyone refers to their 30 or 40+ year old offspring, as children. They aren’t remotely children in any way.

      To me, i feel there’s a difference between calling someone a child (indicating a youthful connotation) and being someone’s child (a familial connotation).

      My children will always be my children, but sometimes my oldest acts like a child.

      If that makes any sense.

        I get that. But being their parent, and having the impulse to protect or defend them, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.

          Im not defending Trump’s actions. They’re plenty old enough to speak up for themselves. I’m merely saying it’s not uncommon for a parent to refer to their offspring as “children” even after they’re well into adulthood.

      Won’t somebody think of his poor tykes who never did anything wrong in their life and are being maliciously attacked for no reason at all!
