Can someone please tell me what his official government position that warrants his comment or the validity of it?
I think he is the official drug sniffer.
He multi-classed drug sniffer and nepo baby.
he needs do a line in each nostril to function everyday.
Vance’s future running mate, probably. The ick ticket.
Oooooof those are gonna be some stinky conventions
vance;s first lady is going to be erika.
His dad's boss told him
hes does more cocaine than trump.
So, no mineral deal?
They are probably planning on deals with their new ally Russia instead.
New ally? 😂
New ally of the formerly western oriented democratic United States.
You mean formerly western-oriented, formerly democratic, formerly united, states.
And meanwhile China is doing its best to have Russia submit to them. So in the end Xi is using Putin as a hand puppet to get Trump to do what Xi wants. That's a weird influence game.
china is halfway there, buying up siberias natural resouces, and russia utterly dependant on china for trade. russia is nothing more than a vassal state, much like NK is. china likes to have its buffer states against its perceived enemies. pakistan against india(friends with benefits since they helped pakistan developed thier nukes), russia against the west, Nk AGAINST its asian neighbors.
only a putin deal.
What the fuck would Don Jr know about the peasant class or anything about war fighting? He would not have shit if he were not a nepo hire.
He should stick to sniffing cocaine.
In a lengthy tirade against the purpose of continued fighting in Ukraine, Donald Trump Jr also said Ukraine’s “corrupt” rich had fled their country leaving “what they believed to be the peasant class” to fight the war.
If this was true (it isn't) he is saying that the US should stop supporting the less we'll off because the corrupt people left. He is saying we should only support a country while the corrupt wealthy people are still there.
It actually is true.
Rich people never fight in wars.
It is false because the stated cause, "corrupt rich people leaving", is not true so it would not lead to the "peasant class" being left behind to do the fighting.
Yes, the "peasant class" always fights the wars, but not because of something that didn't happen.
Thank you. It's so dumb when you think about it for even a second or two. "The corrupt people left, so we shouldn't support the honest ones there?"
It's sad that the President of the United States of America's cocaine addicted son is given the opportunity to make opinion statements to the public.
EU: Okay so we’ll stop buying US munitions to send to Ukraine.
US: “No wait no like that…”
my neighbors are refugees from ukraine. while personally they are douchebags whose love of small engines and car repair means the alley between our house (my bedroom) and their apartment contains a tire machine, air compressor, and eight snow blowers… two motorcycles on the porch and four cars in a 2 car driveway… I worry they’ll get booted back to ukraine and war if trumps nonsense pulls the rug from under them.
I had a Ukrainian colleague who enrolled in the national guard specifically because they give you citizenship after your training and he couldn't get kicked back like that. Now he might have to participate in the ridiculous operations this oppressive regime is now using them for :/
the US pretending to give citizenship or safety for “help” is a tale as old as time.
Fuck you Donald. Just stay there. Someone might rare game hunt your ass someday.
This will be known in history as the Great Betrayal. What a disgrace Trump is to the USA.
Punchable face.
That's disrespectful to Butthead
💯
And the extortion continues...
Literally. They are collecting Russian kickbacks on one side, and collecting ransom payout on the other.
Meanwhile Ukrainian citizens are being murdered by an expansionist aggressor and our own nation is trying to twist the narrative so that it's a "war between two leaders" so that it seems petty and pointless to US citizens.
And the worst part is our collective attention spans are so low, that this actually works. We have a collective attention span of only a couple years, anything past that is now forgotten in the endless haze of scrolling and sensationalism.
Exit polling after Trump was elected to his second term revealed this basically. People said they didn't know if there was a meaningful difference between the candidates and many people just voted for whoever seemed "more genuine" and while they weren't necessarily wrong that Trump is a more "genuine" person than Harris, it still meant that most people had forgotten what Trump's first administration was like, just four years prior.
In fact, in conversations with people, I'm more and more baffled and horrified how many people don't have strong memory anymore. Things we did a year ago together have become fuzzy and lost, anything before that seems to be almost non-existent unless it made a huge impact. The epidemic of scrolling for dopamine hits is impacting our shared memory of reality.
Why would anyone care what this dipshit has to say?
Because he's been on Russia's payroll for a while (and likely his dad too), so like a stopped clock being right twice a day, when Don Jr. suggests that the US is thinking about not supporting an enemy of Russia, it might be worth thinking there's some truth to it.
Funny, to see a member of the corrupt US oligarchy talk about corruption in other countries.
How bout ending funding to Israel
“May” end?
... this week
the son that trump doesnt ACKNOWLEDGE TOO.
taco
Of course he is named Donald, too.
Yup, forever just an extension of his father.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
