Donald Trump Jr. had some strong feelings after President Joe Bidens Thursday remarks on the Kabul airport bombing in Afghanistan, and his comments are evoking more sympathy than hed probably hoped. Biden spoke at the White House on Thursday evening in wake of the news that explosions at Hamid Karzai International Airport had killed at least 13 U.S. service members and 90 Afghans, and the President did not maintain the kind of stoicism Trump Jr. had apparently hoped for in wake of the news, opting instead to be open in his grief for the lives lost and referencing his own late son Beau Bidens service in Iraq as a reminder of how indelibly he feels the pain of military families grieving this loss. We are outraged as well as heartbroken, Biden said from the East Room. From wherever he was watching, Trump Jr. tweeted out a photo of the President hunched over, visibly distressed: This is what weakness looks like.

In his remarks, Biden acknowledged the grief of the moment while vowing retribution for the lives lost. To those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes America harm, know this: We will not forgive, he said. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay.

But Bidens comment still were evidently not macho enough for Trump Jr., who also mocked Congressman Adam Schiff and Metropolitan police officer Michael Fanone for their emotional testimonies in July on their experiences of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. Trump Jr. retweeted two videos of the men sharing their stories and becoming visibly upset, one captioned Rep. @AdamSchiff pretends to cry during 1/6 hearing and the other Wonder how many times he practiced this.

Trump Jr.s comments here also bring to mind the negative right-wing response to a photo of President Joe Biden kissing adult son Hunter Biden that circulated in Oct. 2020, widely retweeted with former NYPD officer John Cardillos caption: Does this look like an appropriate father/son interaction to you?

Like Trump Jr.s comments this week, Cardillos comments were met with swift backlash lamenting the inability of these two and their supporters to recognize the value in adult men openly expressing their emotions and allowing themselves to be vulnerable a trait many commenters attributed to Cardillo and Trump Jr.s own fathers not having set a good enough example for their sons.

Don Jr is what happens when you dont hug your kid once in a while, one retweet read. When you tell them to suck it up when they get hurt. When you teach them that the only goal in life is monetary. When you teach them winning is everything. When you basically void their life of empathy.

In the wake of this weeks events, we dont mind seeing a President who tells us its okay to grieve. With five kids of his own, Trump Jr. may want to consider carefully the message hes sending about who is and isnt allowed to be human.

Donald Trump Jr. Once Again Objected to Men Showing Emotion After President Biden's White House Address - Yahoo Entertainment

The House of Representatives select committee is moving forward to seek answers in the Jan. 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill. They have already made their list of people from the Trump administration whom they would like to speak to and theres only one adult child from the Trump family who didnt make the list: Tiffany Trump.

That means that all documents and communications within the White House involving Donald Trump Jr. (and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle), Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump will be a part of the investigation, per Politico. For Tiffany, being an outsider in her family suddenly has its benefits. Its well-documented that the now 27-year-old was raised on the opposite coast of her half-siblings by her mother (and Donald Trumps second wife), Marla Maples.

Maples has always said she raised her daughter as a single mother and that Donald had very little involvement with his youngest daughter. Her daddy is a good provider with education and such, but as far as time, it was just me, she explained to People. Her father wasnt able to be there with day-to-day skills as a parent. He loves his kids. Theres no doubt. But everything was a bit of a negotiation.

Even though Tiffany moved back East to attend college and law school, her involvement with Donalds administration was limited to a few public appearances and some help on the campaign trail. In the end, this distance might save her from any possible legal trouble involving not only the insurrection, but the ongoing investigation into the Trump Organization. Tiffany has always downplayed any rumored tense relationship with her father. We see each other as much as possible and of course we speak on the phone, she shared with the media outlet. I think regardless of distance, I dont think that dictates any relationship strains.

But with the ongoing look into what happened on Jan. 6, Tiffany might be thanking her lucky stars that she stayed away from the family business. Because Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric will likely feel some heat regarding what they knew about the mental stability of Donald Trump or his fitness for office on that fateful day.

Tiffany Trump Is the Only Adult Child of Donald Trump Not Being Investigated About January 6 - Yahoo Entertainment

In his letter of displeasure with Joe Biden's presidency, Robert Hebert, economist, demonstrates that he remains true to his profession. Like most economists, he begins by making an assumption. In his case, he has assumed former President Donald Trump could do no wrong and President Joe Biden can do no right.

Maybe we would all be better served if the world wasn't viewed through Hebert's lens of absolutism or its antithesis that Trump could do no good and Biden can do no wrong. I can say this because I do not belong to either tribe.

I must confess I do not miss the Trump presidency. A president is elected to serve his country. By his pandemic performances on TV and his erratic tweets, Trump left me with the feeling he was less concerned about serving his country and more concerned with serving himself. I will decide in the 2024 election how I feel about the Biden presidency.

Aubrey O'Day Reignites Feud With 'Petty' Ex Donald Trump Jr. After Fleeing The States - OK!

Back in 2015, when Donald Trump was merely a candidate for office, he made a bold claim, telling The Washington Post, Im going to surround myself only with the best and most serious people. Its a claim that would have held up if best and most serious people were actually code for a collection of fuck-ups, racists, and criminals,though of course Trump meant best in the actual sense. Instead, in the years since, more than half a dozen of the 45th presidents associates have been arrested or convicted of a crime, and apparently, the number continues to grow!

On Tuesday morning, billionaire Thomas Barrack, one of Trumps closest friends, was arrested in the Los Angeles area and charged with violating foreign-lobbying laws, making false statements, and obstructing justice. According to the Post, the financier was indicted on charges related to his dealings in the United Arab Emirates. He and two other defendants have reportedly been accused of acting and conspiring to act as agents of the UAE between April 2016 and April 2018. Officials also claimed that Barrack lied to FBI agents in 2019 while being questioned about his dealings with the UAE.

The 45-page indictment charges Matthew Grimes, an employee of Barracks investment firm, with helping in the lobbying effort. Grimes was also arrested, officials said. A third man charged in the scheme, Rashid Alshahhi, is a citizen of the UAE who lived for a time in California. Attorneys for Barrack and Grimes did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. Officials said Alshahhi remains at large; an attorney for him could not immediately be identified.

Officials said that the lobbying effort began as Trump was sewing up the GOP primary nomination in the spring of 2016 and that Barrack took steps to establish himself as the key communications channel for the United Arab Emirates to the Campaign. A real estate titan who became wealthy buying out-of-favor assets, Barrack was one of Trumps closest associates during the campaign and in office, regularly speaking to the former president, visiting him, and channeling him to others, including business officials and leaders in foreign countries.... Federal prosecutors say Barrack capitalized on his access to Trump and other high-ranking government officials, and his relationships with U.S. journalists, to advance the policy goals of a foreign government without disclosing their true alliances. On a number of occasions, the Justice Department alleged, Barrack pushed the interests of the UAE to the Trump administration without disclosing that he was working on the countrys behalf.

On a seemingly unrelated but crucial note, Barrack chaired Trumps 2016 inaugural committee, which is currently under criminal investigation by D.C. attorney general Karl Racine. Racinesuedthe Trump Organization, the Trump International Hotel, and the inaugural committee in January 2020,allegingthe groups funneled large amounts of inauguration cash into the first familys pockets via the hotel. Both Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump have sat for depositions related to the probe, seeming to have misled investigators about their involvement in the planning of the inaugural events. After the lawsuit was filed, the Trump Organizationsaidin a statement that it was a clear P.R. stunt and that the rates charged by the hotel were completely in line with what anyone else would have been charged for an unprecedented event of this enormous magnitude and were reflective of the fact that [the]hotel had just recently opened, possessed superior facilities, and was centrally located on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Barrack joins a long, ignoble list of Trump associates, advisers, and friends whove found themselves on the wrong side of the law. In April, Rudy Giuliani had his home and office raided as part of criminal investigation into his Ukraine dealings. Giuliani is also reportedly the subject of a DOJ investigation into alleged foreign lobbying for Turkey. (Giuliani has denied lobbying on behalf of both Ukraine and Turkey.)
