“Cocaine is a hell of a drug.” — Rick James
There’s a new reality TV show in town friends, and it’s going to be pretty wild to watch. Donald Trump, Jr., has a podcast on Rumble. They are paying him big bucks, we’re talking millions, to produce fare that the right-wing is dying to see.
Here is Junior and Kevin McCarthy on “Triggered.” Watch these two bozos trip over each other trying to enthuse about what a totally swell and “empathetic” guy Donald Trump is.

That’s some interview, with the interviewee virtually begging to be allowed to say something and the host rambling on and on and on.
Junior is purportedly being paid about $7 million a year to do this. I don’t know what they pay Jake Tapper or Jim Acosta or Stephanie Ruhle or any name you might recognize, but if you asked any of those people I am dead certain that they would tell you that it took quite a lot of time, a lot of hard work and a great deal of luck to get into the $7 Million Club.
But Junior just rolls out of bed and goes before the camera and blathers. He doesn’t even have to read a newspaper. Best if he doesn’t, actually, he might become confused and go off on a tangent that he then has to recant a few days later. We’ve seen that happen.
This is a $7 Million Anchorman, host of his own show, ladies and gentlemen. This is the message that MAGA and the GOP send to our young: 1. It’s who you know; 2. It’s who your Daddy is; 3. You can buy your way into anything, including a seat in Congress or star of a highly paid podcast show.
As to Junior, I am willing to bet he hates this. He has to do this. This and Cameo videos and steak ads are pretty much what he has access to these days. But you know he can’t love getting in front of a mike and spewing this blather about how great his old man is, right? The pure irony here is that Junior probably hates his father as much as we do — but we get to talk about it, whereas he has to pretend his father is some incredibly swell guy. Talk about a Faustian bargain.
You need to add a #4 to the message to our youth–this is what you look and sound like when you’re all coked up: completely incoherent and completely lacking any knowledge on the subject.
One thing former guy is probably proud of in this particular son–he is a braying ass just like daddy.
Old farts like me remember a loooooong time ago a “don’t do drugs” PSA that said “this is your brain on drugs” as an egg was being cracked into a hot iron skillet. Just imagine all the variations they could make using gifs of Junior strung out!
You can’t blame Junior for not amending his ways. He’s having millions of dollars thrown at him for exactly this behavior — I guess. I mean, what are they paying for? I assume Rumble believes that the MAGAs love Junior, messed up and all. Maybe they love him because he’s messed up, who knows?
I don’t think Junior knows a lot on the occasions when he’s not coked up.
True, but when have we ever seen him not coked up?
