Donnie Jr says a visit to Arlington made him think of the sacrifices his family has made.



Excerpt from his new book.

"As we drove past the rows of white grave markers..."

..."I also thought of all the attacks we’d already suffered as a family, and about all the sacrifices we’d have to make to help my father succeed — voluntarily giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals to avoid the appearance that we were ‘profiting off the office,’”

He is so dumb; but then I return to my senses and realize he's an asshole of Olympian proportions

If he ever had to be in a fire fight. And as far as his dumb ass sister. I understand that she said it was more important to know what his motives were than to ID him. You just don`t get it do you you little twit. Is the whistle blower right or wrong. That is the only thing that has to be known.

How dare he insult the memory of those service people who lay in Arlington by comparing their sacrifice to his and his family's inability to profit off the office of the Presidency more than they already have.

These people are the absolute scum of the earth and should not be allowed to walk among us let alone take from us everything that they can.

This just enrages me. I cannot believe how insensitive and evil this moron is.

They are so far detached they can't even do a credible job of faking it.

The poor thang

While his dad's Viet Nam was avoiding STDs, my brother ... well, he still carries the shrapnel from his forehead, all the way down the left side of his body.

It's a miracle is alive, but he's never been the same. Sometimes he's nice, sweet and giving, other times he's meaner than hell and awfully selfish.

We just let him be whatever he is at the moment. We honor his sacrifices. Now I'm gonna cry.
