    I totally disagree with the oppinion of Trump Jr.

    I don't see any change in Trump's behavior.

    He is still a narcissistic and unstable psycopath.

    Most importantly, he has to keep clowning around for another three weeks.

    "According to sources", "according to two Republicans briefed on the family conversations", "Sources said", " the source added", "a source close to the family told me",

    A case study on how to spot "fake news".

    Except that the story about Trump picking Amy Cohen Barrett as SCOTUS nominee was also based on anonymous sources and that turned out to be true.

    I have yet to see any meaningful story from MS media, based on anonymous sources during the trump administration that has later been shown to be materially factually false.

    But go ahead and show me one, if you can.

    Donald Trump jr stated:
    “I had heard from someone that some of the agents that were around him were actually people who had already tested positive in the past, therefore had anti-bodies.”

    Then he said, “Vanity Fair reports that Donald Trump Jr. was very upset with his father for taking that drive Sunday. The president's son told FOX6 News it was patently false.”

    Although Vanity Fair is a respected, fact based publication, the report is disputed.

    These leftists do make it easy. As we approach the voting they seem to be panicking and have given up altogether on the pesky notion of providing actual proof with their allegations. But even if it were true -- let's for a moment pretend that it is -- could the anonymous insiders overheard by the anonymous sources themselves have manipulated the leftist-allied media outlets and spoken to the hearts of the people in order to become president themselves in defiance of all of the odds, could those people have survived an endless avalanch of negative and fake leftist news, would those people positively thrive under intense pressure of a bogus impeachment process?

    No, and there's the rub. These phantoms -- whom may or may not even exist and may or may not be saying what phantom anonymous sources are claiming -- could not themselves duplicate Trump's brilliance and nor his fortitude . . . and so what do THEY know anyway?

    I'm glad you're able to admit your OP article's claim is full of ****, but I also can't help but notice that (much like the leftie media) your unsubstantiated outrage is all big and blustery, in contrast to your correction.

    I'll help you out with your correction:


    “Vanity Fair reports that Donald Trump Jr. was very upset with his father for taking that drive Sunday. The president's son told FOX6 News it was patently false.

    I discovered Don Trump jr position and stated it in the thread I started.

    Great, another "new poster" who doesn't really give a damn about the credibility of what they post, as long as it supports the anti-Trump outrage machine :roll:

    Orange man baaad!
    Correction, I was wrong, he's not bad.

    Try again..... clearly you are taunting and full of baloney.

    btw I voted for Trump......in fact I like the guy. However, the Covid episode has given me some concerns about his views and leadership.

    I heard Jr., say this, "If my dad can catch COVID, well, I guess anybody can!"

    Genius.

    I guess your premise that the negative stories are usually fake, is pretty accurate. The positive stories on the other hand, they never see the light of day in the mainstream media. Which is sad. The entire state of the MSM is pitiful.

    As for this particular story though, it was so idiotic it should have set off everyone's bullsh*t meters. Even the most radical Trump-hating leftie should have paused for a moment to realize, hmmm, this story sounds fishy and doesn't have anything to back it up but the infamous "anonymous sources". I expect better from this board, generally. Shrug.

    I'm suspicious of the story because I can't imagine Jr thinking that the joyride was crazy.

    Your content is both inaccurate and sad.

    for your own sake seek assistance.


    You came to my thread after I corrected the story and tried to make a fool of me..obviously you have issues. .

    And even if he did, he wouldn't go public with it.

    Junior is trying to make excuses for his father because although I consider Don Junior to be dimmer than a 10 cent light bulb he knows enough to spot bad optics and Trump exposing everyone around him to Corona is about as bad as you can get optics wise

    Mind you it could also be that Don Jnr wants the old man to retire On mental health issues before that personal loan becomes due

    It has already been debunked anyhow, so the whole thread is sort of pointless.
