We get emails, daily, “Stop covering Trump! You are giving him what he wants!”

To which, we say, first of all, we see the numbers and it’s what readers want. Second, our readers are exactly right to want to read about the Trump family’s latest outrages. The Trumps already have a huge platform, it spreads throughout the Right, dissipating into their hollow heads. And especially since January 6th, as a matter of national security, it is critical that we on the left know exactly how they think, what he’s saying, and the danger they represent. Look at January 6th, look at the COVID situation. One cannot understand this country as it “is” right now without following the Trumps.

Just days ago, in an “America Last” move, one of the Trumps (this time, Junior) enjoyed slamming Biden, and by through Biden, the U.S. military, as weakening due to the fact that they have bought into diversity and looking at their past issues. To the Trumps that means “woke,” and there’s almost nothing lower to the Right than being awoken to the country’s past horrors. They take pride in remaining asleep.

From Queerty, an invaluable LGBTQ website:

You can always count on Don Trump Jr. to try and make a joke about a horrific situation. As the US prepares to fully withdraw its troops from Afghanistan and end its airlifting of refugees out of Kabul airport, thousands are still trying to escape the country…

…Donald Trump Jr. has been repeatedly criticizing’s Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal (despite it being his father who initially pledged to withdraw all troops before the end of 2020), particularly in the wake of desperate scenes from Kabul airport.

Junior’s tweet:

“Am hearing that Team Biden is finally planning on playing hardball with the Taliban. Reliable sources tell me that Biden & our woke Generals will DEMAND that the Taliban rename themselves the LGBTaliban+ to be more inclusive & diverse, or else no more American weapons for them!”

Am hearing that Team Biden is finally planning on playing hardball with the Taliban.

STFU! Junior! What have you ever done in your life other than being spawn of trash? When was the last time you talked to your mother? Or do you confine yourself to the parent with money? Jesus, these people…
