“I rarely get emotional, if ever, yet, as we drove past the rows of white grave markers, in the gravity of the moment, I had a deep sense of how much our family has sacrificed. In that moment, I also thought of all the attacks we’d already suffered as a family, and about all the sacrifices we’d have to make to help my father succeed — voluntarily giving up a huge chunk of our business and all international deals. We made the Ultimate Sacrifices.”

Donald Trump Jr, reflecting on his visit to Arlington National Cemetary, as relayed in his book Triggered.

What an absolutely disgusting thing to say. He’s rage-baiting. Even the title is a nasty, stabby poke at the people who find his family’s behaviour to be abhorrent.

Just about every family has one, or two, in it who are arseholes. Sometimes, rarely, there’s families where only a minority are not arseholes.

But, the rarest of the rare is a family like the Trumps, where every last one of them seems to be an arsehole.

(Actually, it’s not all of them. Fred Trump Jr. seems to have been an OK bloke who just wanted to fly aeroplanes, but his arsehole father drove him to an early grave, and his daughter, Mary Trump, is one of Donny’s harshest critics.)
