QOTD -- Greasy Heir

"On a steamy June evening, Trump officially launched his bid for reelection with a raucous rally in Orlando. This time, Ivanka and Jared sat in the audience, while Don—the president’s most skilled warm-up act—strutted across the stage to fervid applause. Bellowing into the microphone until his voice went ragged, he crowed about “crushing the bastards of ISIS” and made fun of Joe Biden for “groping” women. As he neared the end of his speech, Don lifted his arms in the air as if conducting an orchestra, and the arena erupted in chants of “Four more years!”

"In that moment, there was little question what the future of the Trump family would look like. After a century and a half of striving, they had money, and fame, and unparalleled power. But respectability would remain as distant a mirage as it was when Friedrich was chasing it across the Yukon. While no one knew when Donald Trump would exit the White House, it was clear what he would leave behind when he did: an angry, paranoid scrap of the country eager to buy what he was hawking—and an heir who knew how to keep the con alive."  McCay Coppins writing about "The Heir" -- that would be greasy Don, Jr. -- and the sniping between his "team" and that of rival and object of daddy's lust, Ivanka, and her hubby Jared "Mr. Ivanka Trump" Kushner.  Lots of paranoia and backstabbing going on in the Trump crime family!  Coppins takes the story back to the first Trump business, a whorehouse established by grandfather and draft dodger Friedrich in British Columbia in the late 19th century.  Strong family genes!
