Someone went into Barnes & Noble and replaced the covers of Trump Jr.'s new book

We changed the cover of @DonaldJTrumpJr’s book to make it a little more honest and put them up in @BNBuzz. You're welcome, Junior!


We made a new Don Jr. book cover and put them in the Young Adult section of Barnes and Noble.







A New York City Barnes & Nobles was the site of a prank, performed by comedy group The Good Liars. The release of the greasiest Trump’s new memoir—that spends most of its ghost-written pages complaining about being a victim—seems to have inspired the fun

has never entered Arlington Cemetery for any reason other than making a wrong turn. Somehow he just doesn't seem like the type of man who would engage in self-reflection. I believe the part that he was thinking about Daddy's money, but I'm almost certain the rest is total bullshit. He's as shallow and narcissistic as his father.

however the current gop tribe knows Don the Con is full of crap, but he is THEIR guy. They are protecting him, since he seems to be the most intelligent one in their party at the moment. Smart enough to get Putin's help with the election. Don Jr. is planning to run for political office too. He will fit in nicely with the other "brains" such as Gym Jordan, Nunes, Graham and Goetz.

A real professional job, there. I had to look twice and read this thread to work out it was doctored!

But yes, expect it to be full of TRD (Trump_reality_dislocation) stuff. Not worth reading. Definitely not worth buying. I hope he sells zero copies!

Or - maybe that's the new model inside one of those toys in which you take a magnetic stylus and "draw" all these dark little metal shavings on the model's bare face into beards, mustaches, and sideburns?

I don't care how much you try to grow your facial hair, junior-dear. You're STILL ugly as fuck.

The whole family are nothing but lying, cheating, scamming, grifting, mean, hate filled racists and criminals - not one ounce of love anywhere because they all only care for themselves - just like daddy taught them.
