Like father, like son: Trump Jr. defiant about Russia probe
AP ^ | 8/8/2018 | JONATHAN LEMIRE and CATHERINE LUCEY

If Donald Trump Jr. is worried, he sure doesn’t show it.

His father, the president, is reported to be fretting about his eldest son’s entanglement in the Russia investigation. And Don Jr.’s role in the special counsel’s probe continues to throw off headlines. But the 40-year-old son is hardly ducking his head.

He’s beloved on the right as the swaggering embodiment of the Make America Great Again agenda. And he’s embracing his role as a popular emissary for his father, crisscrossing the country on campaign trips, penning op-eds in support of favored candidates and showcasing his new relationship with former Fox News host Kim Guilfoyle.

KEYWORDS:
I normally don't like dynasties in politics but I can see Trump Jr. being President some day.

It also explains why the left is so desperate to smear him now because they likely see the potential in him as well.

Maybe, just like his father, he will step up at just the right time to save America from its leftist self too.

What does the powers that be want? For Jr. to roll over like a puppy dog? I stick up for the President when I run across a dim wits. I have never seen or heard a more ignorant populace in my life and I’ve been around the sun 65 times.

“I can see Trump Jr. being President some day.”

So can Kimberly Guilfoyle. She craves celebrity and the limelight.

Is Junior eligible, since his mother wasn’t a citizen when he was born?

Why should he be “worried” about a bunch of cooked up garbage orchestrated by a group of phonies who stole power in the DOJ and FBI, aligned with the stinking, lying “Press”?

OHhhh.. the reporter’s article.. the part I read.. calling things that are not so.. making assumptions instead of news. They don’t know how to report “NEWS” any more.

President Trump did nothing they are investigating him for.. and Jr has done nothing ..he’s a civilian.. and if they can ruin him before his time.. they will certainly try.

Being defiant against the worst case of criminals in the highest positions, is admirable.. not everyone can stand in the face of what that family has endured. To be defiant is not what the left want to deal with.. so they try to undefiant them.(new word)

The press has earned the moniker “enemy of the people”.

Then No, under the definition of natural born citizen I grew up with in the 1960s. But given Obama, apparently that is no longer operative.

He shouldn't be, that is my understanding.

Correct. There IS no Citizenship Requirement since no one has standing to challenge the citizenship of any POTUS candidate, much less incumbent.

funny - I can’t find a single word from Associated Press on the explosive Bruce Ohr/Christopher Steele revelations of the past two days!

Over here we have a BS setup meeting that lasted 40 minutes and here we have the FBI using false information to obtain a FISA warrant from a sympathetic judge to spy on a Presidential campaign and Persident elect. So which one has the attention of the Rats at AP?

Hard to believe Don Jr isn’t worried about the deranged musings of these street vagrants dressed up as journalists. Shocking, really.

Sounds like Jonathan and Catherine are fretting, not POTUS.
