What could be worse than one Donald Trump? Two Donald Trumps, of course—and that’s exactly what we have with Don Jr. It’s clear that the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree. The son of the president-elect has shown he’s just like his father: a sore loser and, if possible, an even more annoying winner.
At 46 years old, Don Jr. took to social media to boast about FBI Director Christopher Wray stepping down on the same day his father was named Time‘s Person of the Year. This is like a child bragging about how cool his dad is to the other kids at school, except Don Jr. is a grown man.
In his post, Don Jr. clearly couldn’t hide his excitement about Wray’s resignation. Wray had originally been appointed by Donald Trump Sr. in 2017, but over time, Wray became a target for the Trump family, especially after the FBI’s involvement in the investigation into Donald Trump. Trump has already said that if he gets back into office, he’ll replace Wray with Kash Patel.
It’s interesting how everyone who starts off on good terms with Trump eventually turns into an enemy. Don’t be surprised if Elon Musk has a falling out with him eventually. In fact, anyone Trump has put in his cabinet better be prepared—being close to Trump doesn’t last long. Right now, the Trump family might be at the top, but it’s probably a pretty lonely place to be.
Don Jr. isn’t exactly a gracious winner. Gloating is never a good look, but it’s especially bad coming from him, given that he’s also a sore loser. Back in 2020, when Trump lost, Don Jr. was quick to claim the election was “rigged” and “stolen”—basically throwing a tantrum. It gives off the vibe of a spoiled brat who’s never had to deal with losing.
That’s just Don Jr. for you—he throws a fit when he loses and then rubs it in your face when he wins. We’ve all known people like that, and they’re usually pretty unbearable to be around. No wonder his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, left him—though, she’s not much better. How does someone get to 46 without learning any humility or grace? Simple—by being the child of Donald Trump.
This “win” isn’t even that big of a deal. As one commenter pointed out, Time always names the president-elect Person of the Year, so it’s not really something to brag about.
While Don Jr. may have helped his father win the election, isn’t it about time he stepped out of his father’s shadow and did something on his own? He spends all his time riding the coattails of his father’s success, but when has he ever done anything worthy of praise? It’s almost sad—Don Jr. constantly lifts up his father, but does Don Sr. ever do the same for him?
