Don Jr. Mocked Tim Walz for Not Kissing His Wife and It Backfired BIG TIME

Just stop, kiddo.

In a bid to try and turn the Democrats’ own messaging back on them, Donald Trump’s eldest son thought he’d post a clip to X of Tim Walz greeting his wife and say it was “weird,” like the Democrats have been calling Trump and JD Vance.

That would be all well and good — all’s fair in love and war, right? — if it wasn’t a totally normal clip of totally normal people doing a totally normal thing.

The video shows Walz approaching his wife of 30 years, Gwen. He grasps her right hand, then leans in for a hug. That’s it. That’s totally it. But Don Jr tried to make it sound like Walz and his wife were conducting some kind of business transaction.

“Totally normal to greet your wife with a firm handshake and a bro hug/back slap. Tim Walz isn’t weird at all, guys.” That was the text accompanying the video described above.

The problem is, there’s just so much footage of Donald (Sr) and Melania’s strange interactions that it’s hard to point any fingers.

Sure, we all watched as Melania looked like she had better things to do even during Trump’s inauguration. But how many videos have we seen where he tried to hold her hand and she slapped it away? Did everyone forget about the awkward time when Trump walked on stage to his wife, then shook her hand (as Junior tried to imply Walz was doing) and didn’t even hug her?

Then he told her, “You go sit down.”

That one’s been viewed nearly 700,000 times (as of this writing). And the mash-up posted by Ron Filipkowski of times when Melania has avoided Trump’s touch altogether is at almost 2.5 million right now.

It’s not much of a surprise that Melania doesn’t really want to touch him. After all, he cheated on her WHILE she was pregnant with their child, Barron.

Not that I have a lot of sympathy for a woman who marries a man who cheated on his previous wife with her, and the wife before that with the woman Melania helped him cheat on. Imagine being Barron and knowing that your father has cheated on every woman he’s ever married.

Don Junior has just as weird a relationship with former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle. She was fired from that job after sexual harassment claims against her surfaced. and Junior’s been so nervous to tie the knot that they’ve been engaged for four years.

Meanwhile, the guy Don Junior tried to call out for being weird has been with his wife since Nirvana was still around. They had their kids through IVF. He was a high school teacher and football coach. He served more than two decades in the National Guard.

There’s no “weird” there, Junior.
