Don Jr. Claims His Father Cut Him Off After College and Only Gave Him a Gas Station Credit Card to Live Off Of

Many of us by now, have heard Donald Trump Jr.’s stories about living off of gas station sushi after he graduated from college. But he decided to revive the story once again when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) made an appearance on his podcast Triggered on Thursday, Newsweek reports.

The two compared Don Jr.’s post-grad experiences with Greene’s polar opposite — her Democratic colleague Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY.) They concluded that Ocasio-Cortez’s experiences as a bartender in New York doesn’t mean she’s a financial expert.

It’s hard to tell who was trying to out-dumb the other — Junior or Greene. He did note, however, that both women are treated quite differently in the media.

Incredibly, he said that while Ocasio-Cortez is considered a hero and an economic expert by the left, she “is also one of the dumbest people in Congress.”

But Greene, who has run a small business before is “vilified” by the media. Greene loved this of course and agreed, saying Ocasio-Cortez is “definitely pretty dumb,” and adding that she thinks the New York congresswoman was “lying” to her district about her humble beginnings.

Ocasio-Cortez has made no bones about the fact that she waited tables and worked as a bartender at a New York City taqueria before launching her campaign for congress in 2017.

Greene did at least say she has a “lot of respect” for bartenders (I’m sure she’s visited more than a few of them).

“They work very, very hard,” she said.

That’s when Junior regaled her with his tales of tending bar in Colorado after he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Finance. That allowed him to “get some stuff out of my system,” he said.

I’ll bet.

At any rate, dear old dad was not impressed with Junior’s line of employment, so he was “cut off” for a time by his family. All except for his gas card.

“I’m the guy who lived off gas station sushi for like a year,” he said. “It could be worse. It’s not ideal.”


Don Jr. did add that this experience by itself doesn’t qualify him to “make trillion-dollar decisions” or get up on a state and be lauded by the media as a great financial thought leader like they do with AOC, when it’s clear that she doesn’t even understand what they are talking about.”

That led Greene to jump in, saying Ocasio-Cortez “has no clue what they’re talking about” and that her background “doesn’t give her the qualifications to literally change our economy.”

But actually, like so many other things Greene gets wrong, she’s definitely wrong here. According to The National Women’s History Museum, Ocasio-Cortez attended Boston University, where she graduated cum laude with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Economics and International Relations. That means I’m willing to bet that helps give her the “qualifications to literally change our economy.”

As for Marge, yeah, she’s got a degree too — she studied business administration at the University of Georgia and earned her Bachelor’s degree in 1996, according to Britannica. But remember, this is a woman who will never live down her “Jewish space lasers” comment. She has also claimed the Parkland, Sandy Hook, and Las Vegas shootings were all staged. And of course, perhaps the most cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs one of all, the major QAnon conspiracy theory that claims Donald Trump is fighting, in secret, mind you, a worldwide child-sex-slavery ring,” per New York Magazine’s Intelligencer.

And she thinks Ocasio-Cortez is dumb. Really.
