Don Jr. Brags That Judge Engoron Thinks He’s a Really Funny Dude and It Doesn’t Go Well for Junior
Donald Trump Jr. claims he brought some fun to his father’s New York civil fraud trial, which occurred in New York City this week.
“Did two days I guess of testimony — half day yesterday, half day today. Had some fun in the process. I think even the judge found me perhaps a little bit amusing on this thing,” Don Jr. said in a new video, sounding like quite the narcissist (where could he have learned that from?)
As has been previously reported, Trump Jr. is a defendant in the $250 million lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general office’s against his father, Donald Trump, the Trump Organization and some executives, including himself and his brother Eric Trump.
Earlier this week, the former first son told reporters, “I think it went really well, if we were actually dealing with logic and reason the way business is conducted.”
Though Trump Jr. tried to distance himself from his father and claimed he didn’t know certain words, Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t help but bright it up during his show.

“I rely on professionals and CPAs. We pay millions of dollars and [they] have great degrees,” Trump Jr. said in court.
“Do you have that understanding?” Justice Arthur Engoron asked, to which he said, “I have no understanding.”
Of course, the banter left the comedian in stitches.
“The fraudigal son was being grilled as part of the $250 million case against their business,” Kimmel quipped on Wednesday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! before sharing a clip of Donald Jr. joking that he “should have worn makeup” as he waited for proceedings to start.
“Here’s the thing about Don Jr.,” Kimmel continued. “What he lacks in intelligence, he also lacks in charisma.”

Seth Meyers also weighed in on the hilarious situation.
“It doesn’t help Don Jr. that he already comes off as a hostile witness,” said Meyers. “The man has no chill. I mean, just look at the way he stands. He’s got his chest puffed out like a guy at a bar saying the words ‘Step off.’ He looks like he just challenged a much bigger guy to a fight and now he’s waiting for his friends to hold him back.”
But Don Jr. saying that the judge found him amusing is truly unreal:

Of course, people had a field day, going on to mock Junior with everything they had:
That never ending search for the approval of men in positions of authority. Sad.

He's an asshole just like his dad. I hope he's amused when they lose their companies.

Yes Junior, the judge was laughing AT you.

Junior doesn't know the difference between pity and amusement.

Junior: Even the judge found me amusing.
"Amusing" is a weird spelling of "guilty."

I’m not sure amusing is quite the word.

This is a typical statement of a narcissist. Can't imagine how he got that way. 😏

Junior needs to understand the difference between "amusing" and an out-and-out joke.
