Embarrassed by Your Parents?

[scrabblequeen40]

Normal people get help for elderly parents who do embarrassing things to spare themselves the humiliation. Not Ivanka. Not Donnie Jr. Not whatever-the-other-one -is-called.

These assholes campaign for this motherfucking embarrassment, shamelessly.

The adult Trump children either lack self-awareness, or they are truly evil.

Listen, your fathert is killing people with his stupidity. And you're making money off of his actions. And your spouses, too.

Fuck you, Trump children. Damn you all to hell.

Dang, you've triggered a memory of my visiting FIL loudly blurting out, "What a cute little picaninny" at my daughter's band concert in the park where mostly family members of the HS band students were in attendance celebrating their senior grads. So embarrassing, and, yes, this African-American child was very adorable, but, but, but...When DH, sitting along side good ol' Dad, and well-known as the Supervisor of the BandAides whose job it was to move the equipment to-and-from the buses and stage the venue, took him aside for a call out, as in "Don't utter another single thing," FIL tried to walk it back as something not meant to be so obviously "pity-able" or racist. Hah, we're the those old geezers now and still coming battling to understand the myriad insidious transfer of racist "nurture" embedded in our culture.

Dimwit Donny and his kids shouldn't ever get a universal pass for lack of empathy, outright lies, or bad manners. His inability to filter his mouth reveals serious problems "upstairs." They should get him the help he so obviously needs for the lack of inhibition, but...as above." SMH!

2. I'm gonna go with "truly evil"...

they are profiting off of this, so evil fits.

5. Why not both? (n/t)

6. I'll admit, the two are not mutually exclusive, TBS...nt

3. I was already looking for that during the 2016 campaign.

Not ever having paid any attention to any Trumps prior to that, I initially imagined they must be out in the audience cringing at some of the things coming out of Donny’s mouth. I wondered why they didn’t get him to a good neurologist and/or psychologist for a thorough examination. My mistake was in assuming the children had a normal grasp of reality and normal levels of empathy. I now think that they grew up in the bubble created by their father and if they sometimes recognize there is a different reality outside the bubble, they have zero interest in experiencing it.

7. then again, scary thought, maybe they really do think he's a genius

Is it possible that they are so stupid themselves that Orange Dad's stupidity seems genius in comparison?

Like, maybe they are sooooo goddamn stupid, they actually think Orange Dad is an einstein.

How's it possible that their peers in high school or college didn't mock their dad?

4. They were obviously sheltered and think he's normal.

They'll never turn out like Ron Reagan or Patti Davis.

8. How did these nimcompoops escape the "yo mama...." jokes in high school

Well, the dad version of them might go something like this...

"Yo pop's so stupid, he thinks Africa is a country."

Or "Yo pop's makeup is so hideous, Tammy Fay Bakker called for tips."
