Donald Trump Jr. Flops At GOP Convention With Laughably Bad Speech
Was he on something?
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Donald Trump Jr. poorly delivered a fantasy speech divorced from reality with glassy eyes that was so bad, it was funny.
Don Jr. accused Democrats of trying to cut taxes for millionaires when his daddy passed the biggest tax cut for the rich and corporations in history:
Donald Trump isn't so much giving a speech, but an alternative history with no basis in reality. The topper is Trump Jr. accusing Democrats of trying to cut taxes for millionaires. pic.twitter.com/Lfc4UxMHNc

Jr. accused Democrats of tyranny, while defending Confederate statues dedicated to those who fought to enslave an entire race of people:

Trump Jr. rewrote economic history and claimed that Trump was rocket fuel to the economy and Obama and Biden were low growth when Obama's economy grew more than Trump's:

The point of his speech seemed to be that Republicans need to be really scared because Joe Biden is a radical leftist who is coming to take away everything.
Donald Trump Jr. didn't try to humanize his father. He tried to project grievance by screaming lies and propaganda.
It has been a long time since a high profile convention speech was this terrible.
Trump Jr.'s speech tried to turn Joe Biden into Bernie Sanders, but instead, it was a terrible SNL sketch that failed in every way.

He didn't get that little round mouth eating bananas!
It would have been more informative to watch a presentation of classic dog food commercials.
I would love to know how Don Sr. felt about his son's speech. The upside is that after all the ridiculous contributions, Trump will actually have someone else to blame for his impending fall into obscurity...or the abyss, whichever comes first.
Speech? What speech? I was too focused on his eyeballs and bizarre facial tic to realize that he was actually saying anything.
I only heard him say that daddy puts the US first. Then I threw up in my mouth and switched the channel.
Accusing others of doing what one has done oneself... or intends to do oneself... is standard operating procedure on the right.
They have no ideas - have had none for years, now. They don't even have bad ideas, so they can only steal their adversaries' ideas.
We see this phenomenon at all levels, including here on NT.

Yes, it is. It is one of their primary propaganda techniques and it has been for many, many years.
I was distracted by Don Jr's post nasal cocaine drip!
I went into a trance watching his transgender girlfriend. Then someone told me she wasn't transgender........ She did a lot of hollaring. I was waiting for the Howard Dean scream at the end but it never happened.
