Goodbye, Donald Trump Jr.

(Slate) After 39 years of toiling in Ivankas shadow, it was finally your moment. Already a devout Republican and unquestionably the most groveling of his offspring, you were exactly the hype man your father needed: dumb enough to believe whatever Daddy told you, coiffed enough to look halfway decent on cable news, and more than passionate enough about hunting to rub elbows with the red state riffraff. That last one was something your father used to despise, but that all changed when he realized his base ate it up. And in return for being precisely the happy warrior your father needed, Trump Sr. regularly acknowledged you in public and even let you get vaguely within touching distance. What more could a perpetual disappointment want?
Now, four years and 20,000 memes later, youre 42, divorced, and of absolutely no use to your father whatsoever. Remember earlier this month when he joked about how hed never speak to you or your brother and sister again if he loses? A funny joke when it comes to Ivanka (whom he worships), or Eric (who has remained deeply involved in the family business), but for you? Well, we hope you kept your Halloween costume, because thats as close to Dad as youre likely to get. But hey, look on the bright side. Youve still got the love of none other than Kimberly Guilfoyle. And everyone knows thats one love that lasts. ...............(more)
