I suppose your grandchildren - if you'll ever get any - will find it hard to believe, not because it's hard to believe, but because half of your story is fictional, and the other half... we'll see if you get any legal consequences next year. Your grandchildren will be reminded of all the shenanigans and malarkey you engaged in, especially in 2020.
They might want to change their last name.
OK, let's clear some things up.
The Steele dossier is a compilation of raw intelligence. "Raw" means it's unverified information. Like when you post something on Twitter. Some of it might have some value, other is pure imagination, you post it all raw.
It is not evidence of anything, and was never meant to be.
Christopher Steele was hired by Fusion GPS (an independent research and intelligence firm) to find out things about Trump - partly by the Republicans to prepare for possible accusations, partly by the Democrats to find something to accuse Trump of. There's nothing fishy about any of this stuff, so don't pretend to be so outraged.
Now, some of the things in this dossier were worrisome enough for the FBI to start an investigation about whether it's true or not, so they verified the data. They found a lot of the stuff was nothing to care about, but there were some things that were confirmed. For example that Russia did favor Trump over Clinton, and that several Trump campaigners had contacts with Russians. Among others, you.
We know Natalia Veselnitskaya is lobbying against the Magnitzky Act, and for her to want to meet with Trump's people is nothing to wonder about, but why did you meet her? You have never said anything about the Magnitzky Act, you haven't spoken against it, not done anything to get it repealed. Your dad is for it. So why did YOU meet with HER?
Frankly, the suggestion that you met with her to get dirt on Hillary is the most reasonable explanation I have heard, and you haven't given any other reason, so we'll go by that. After all, you were questioned, and had all the chances to give other reasons, and you didn't.
What Rudy Giuliani says about anything has been made pretty worthless considering his actions in the "election fraud" case 2020. It's only Trumpettes who believe a word he's saying. He's so deep in your daddy's pocket, he's leaking brown.
All those people you mention have been attacked by your daddy because he thinks they don't support him.
McCabe Suit Moves Ahead After Judge Denies Dismissal Request
Oh, so now you are Martin Luther King jr.!
ROTFLMAO!
Sure.
J. Edgar Hoover was a Rightie.
"sympathetic to Communists, and out to destroy the USA with his speeches and boycotts"
sounds more like BLM, than you.
we think about their families, their years of service...
Bull
What junior hates are people who are loyal to someone else but his dad. I'm pretty sure he sees himself as the heir of the Trump Org, and the MAGA people as his future followers. Or maybe Ivanka's...
"Many I have talked with are disgusted by the Clappers and Comeys of the world"
Whether they are or not, they shouldn't be talking with you about it.
"Oh, and by the way, they’ve all written books. (Okay, I know what you’re thinking: “Well, so did you, Don.” Apples and oranges. They wrote books about the lies they told, and I wrote one because they told them about me.)"
You wrote a book attacking a lot of people who has never said anything about you, and a lot of people who has responded to some crap you told about them. Most of your book is lies and gossip. The rest is bragging and whining.
"We know that just about every one of Robert Mueller’s Nineteen Angry Democrats was a Trump-hating hack looking for any reason they could find to nail him and me"
No, that's not what "we know", that's what you believe. We know it's not true.
Also, your hubris is unbelievable. The only reason you even get any air time is that you are the President's son. No-one cared one bit about you before you dad became the president, and when your dad is no longer a president, no-one will care about you. (Except when it comes to the litigations that will start happening very soon.) In 10 years, people will have forgotten your siblings' names, and will remember yours only because it's the same as the president's. Ivanka might be remembered longest. You are not Kennedys and will never be. You are too dependent of your father. (Or the guy everyone calls your father.)
"Are we ever going to get an apology or see any of the people who pushed the fake conspiracy theory for years punished for the fraud they perpetrated on the American people"
Wow...
Why would you get an apology? The case isn't even investigated properly. If you are suspected of wrong doing, it should be investigated, and you should be cleared. Now you have been screaming your head off ever since the beginning, and people have been committing perjury and have been lying, hiding evidence, trying to change the subject, blame others so that your case is forgotten, you have been attacking people right and left over this, and nothing is cleared. It will continue next year. You think you have been persecuted now, just wait until next year, when your dad's presidency can't help you any longer. Especially now, when he's burning bridges and offending the Republicans. Your loyal MAGA people have no power, they can't help you. And with Biden as the president... you should be very, very careful before attacking his son. He loves his children. You might want his lenience and kindness very soon, and you won't be having it, when all he sees when looking at you, is the guy who did his best to drag his son in the mud. And for what? Neither Hunter nor Joe Biden has never done anything to you, never said anything about you.
"Have you ever seen a story—just one story—that broke in favor of Trump instead of the other way around?"
Of course. Many times. In the right wing media sources. Unfortunately, they have all been either irrelevant, insignificant, or omitting huge chunks of the truth. Some are even pure lies.
"Please. If you believe that, I have “a single source” close to Lawrence O’Donnell who tells me that he likes to dress up in women’s clothes and sing karaoke on weekends. See how easy it is to make this crap up? I could do it all day. (And they do!)"
You do. All day, every day. Tweet tweet retweet.
Unlike you, most of us don't just believe people just because we like what they say.
BTW, "he likes to dress up in women’s clothes and sing karaoke on weekends"
Is that supposed to be somehow horrible? You think that's as bad as the president colluding with foreign powers?
Fox News coordinated with White House on false story, lawsuit says
It took them a week to remove the false story, and they didn't apologize for it.
"From the moment he stepped onto the stage in the atrium of Trump Tower to announce his run for president, my father had his mind set on one thing and one thing only: the American people."
Ah, yes. "American people" = Trump. As junior just said a couple of passages ago.
"When I hit the road with the Trump campaign in 2015, the first thing I noticed was that people were fed up with liberal censorship and political correctness."
With other words, people were tired of needing to actually think before they opened their mouths, and take the consequences of their bigoted opinions and attitudes. Of course they didn't like it. Of course they were "fed up with it".
I have been talking with these people since last millennium, and not once has any of them been censored, or when chided, none of them was innocent.
"All over the country, folks were tired of being talked down to by the elite political class"
"The elite political class". Educated people. Teachers, lawyers, librarians, doctors and nurses... Lefties. :->
"told over and over again that their concerns didn’t matter and their voices weren’t going to be heard."
Maybe because the right wing media was telling them they didn't matter all the time.
Obama got USA out of the recession, created 8 million jobs, and did a lot of other stuffs that benefited Americans, American workers, Middle Class Americans, poor Americans, but no-one is talking about them. In fact, half of the things Trump takes credit for was initiated by Obama's administration. They were being listened to, their concerns were taken seriously, and things were done, and still are being done.
"I met proud factory workers who had watched as Democratic policies had torn their lives apart"
Or, actually, the Republican policies, and their Republican employers.
"I met conservative college kids who were terrified to identify themselves in class for fear that liberal professors would retaliate"
which never happened, but fear is the only feeling Right Wing wants you to listen to and react to.
"I met women who were shunned by friends because of their political views."
I remember a woman in late 90s who was participating in a banner exchange program (back at that time people didn't have much social media, they had homepages.) This woman had created a banner attacking a specific group of people. Don't remember which. Now, the members of this group didn't - of course - want to have a banner on their homepage cussing at them, so they complained to the entity responsible for these banners, and they contacted the woman and told her she couldn't have that banner. She was furious and said that she finds the banners promoting something Democrat "offensive".
So being "shunned by friends because of their political views" - could be something like "all lives matter" or "abortion is murder" or "gay marriage is not right".
I'm sorry but I don't want to hear that. I find it heartless and inconsiderate and bashing the weak, and I don't want to be friends with people like that. Sure, I'll be polite, but please, don't call me. I'm sorry, I am not interested to lunch with you. Yeah, maybe some other time. Why can't you just go and find people who agree with you in this?
And, frankly, how many democrats have been "shunned by friends because of their political views"?
I have seen a lot of people lament the fact that they can't read the books of their favorite author because of their political opinions, or watch movies with their favorite actor, because he's a Democrat.
If you wouldn't force a Republican to be friends with a Democrat, why would you force a Democrat to be friends with a Republican?
Once upon a time it was considered good manners to not talk about money, sex, religion, health or politics in social gatherings. Now people call "good manners" "PC", and one should be anything but PC.
"If this seems to you to be a theme that I’ve hit time and again in this book, you’re right. Those stories are seared into my memory. They were living in a country that was ruled by what the left did or did not find offensive, and they were sick of it. So was I."
I have noticed. You whine about how unfair it is that the left treats the right the same way the right treats the left.
"Then, when my father announced, I realized that some of my liberal friends—or people I had thought were friends—began to retreat to the echo chamber of the left. They read only the New York Times and watched only MSNBC."
Says the man who only watched FOX and gets his news from Twitter.
Seriously, I would back off from you spouting horrible things everywhere. I couldn't follow your instagram or twitter without being bashed for my opinions, having people I admire and respect being bashed about thing I know are not true, hearing lies about my values and priorities. And you are always out talking more crap. I couldn't even follow with you to your speaking trips. Your audience would lynch me, and your dad would praise them for it.
"Suddenly, conservatives were their enemies."
Says the man whose slogan is "let's make liberals cry again".
'Owning the libs': how Donald Trump Jr became the unlikely political heir apparent
‘Make liberals cry again’ became the battle hymn of the Republicans under Trump
"We slept in motels around the country; we went days without food at times."
Says the man whose net worth is $300 million.
Again, pretending to be so grassroot, while the reality is that when the campaign was over, he went back to his little apartment in Sovereign and little summer cottage at Hamptons.
"Donald Trump doesn’t sit there and make a decision based on polling numbers. He listens to the people."
So... how many letters from the citizens has he read? Does he even know people write to him? How many has he responded to?
"He did it based on his gut, on decades of experience, and on the applause and cheers of the forgotten men and women of this country who were being heard for the first time in decades."
Funnily, I haven't seen him listening to the crowds on his rallies, just speaking.
"When he talks of job growth, he does so with more experience than perhaps any other president. He has been signing the front of checks for forty years. What the hell would Hillary Clinton know about job growth? She hasn’t created a job in her life. Maybe a pollster job. Maybe a position for someone who bleaches her servers for her or hammers her iPhones to bits. But a real job? Not a chance. Neither has Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, or any other Democrat in Washington."
There are businessmen among the Washington Democrats. But the fact that most politicians don't know everything about everything, is the reason to why presidents have advisers.
What does your father know about military? Except how to avoid it?
What does your father know about education? Except how to buy it?
Your father knows nothing about social workers, nurses and midwives, psychiatrists, personal assistants, librarians and booksellers, people who work with environment or animals, most creators, artists and artisans, bus drivers, taxi drivers, or locomotive engineers, or personal service personnel, like hairdressers, housekeepers, child carers and translators. He doesn't know anything about academicians - on the contrary, he hates those. "Liberal elite". And lawyers... he knows something about lawyers, but nothing beyond employing them. He hates journalists, too, at least serious ones. None of you hides your hatred of higher ranks of military and law enforcement.
None of these people creates jobs, but they aren't worthless because of it, or "the enemy of the Americans" as you paint them to be. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Of course you don't care, because most of these people are liberals, and they aren't so many it would pay to court them.
You hate the Intelligentsia, because we make you feel stupid, the same way a beautiful woman makes the ordinary women feel ugly.
"Today, the left, the liberal media, and the administrative state have their eyes wide open."
Oh, yes... 2016 we were certain of that there cannot be enough people who are stupid enough to buy the Trump show. 2020 we know there are.
The Democrat candidates aren't any more corrupted than Trump. On the contrary. Trump's administration is the most corrupt administration in modern day USA. It's worse than Nixon's! Whereas Obama's was the least corrupt administration.

"The left can take whatever shots it wants at us. We'll do what we always do; hit back twice as hard"
Which is all this is. You are doing to the Democrats what you claim they did to you. You are lying, twisting, exaggerating, omitting, editing, fibbing, trying to change the focus - it's the greatest show on earth, an illusion, snake oil sell.
Your dad has achieved some things that has helped all Americans.
But he has also achieved a lot of things that has not helped any Americans - except perhaps Trumps and their friends.
And a lot of those things that has helped all Americans were started during Obama, and Trumpettes aren't giving him and the Democrats any credit for what they did.
So why would we give credit to Trump?
We aren't cowards. You fight, we fight. And you will lose, because you are lying, and you don't know the rules.
Might be the Democrats are naïve and have lost touch with some of the voters, but the Republicans - well, Trumpettes - are stupid, easily manipulated, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic bullies, and their Republican overlords, like Mitch McConnell, care more about their power than USA. Just look at the election 2020.
"President Obama once famously said that you would need a magic wand to bring back the manufacturing jobs lost during his administration. Well, abracadabra, Mr. Former President. The Trump administration has added 1 million manufacturing, construction, and energy jobs."
From his inauguration to start of Covid, Trump created half a million jobs in manufacturing.
From the end of the Great Recession to the end of his presidency, Obama created a million jobs in manufacturing.
It was not "manufacturing jobs lost during his administration", because he already created those jobs.
What president Obama said was: " And so what we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back, and when somebody says, like the person you just mentioned who I'm not going to advertise for, that he's going to bring all these jobs back, well how exactly are you going to do that? What are you going to do?
There's no answer to it. He just says, "Well, I'm going to negotiate a better deal." Well, how — what — how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually, the answer is he doesn't have an answer."
There was 8.9 million jobs more at the end of Obama's administration than at the end of Bush's administration, and the Great Recession was not over when Obama became the president, so at the lowest point in 2010, to the highest point 2016, Obama's administration created 12.2 million jobs.
And jobs in manufacturing? At the lowest point in 2010, there was about 11.4 million jobs in manufacturing, and when he left, there was 12.4 million jobs. Obama created almost a million jobs in manufacturing.
Trump managed to create less than 500.000 jobs between January 2017 and February 2020, and let's not talk about Covid.
There were 17.1 million jobs in manufacturing when Bill Clinton left the job to George W. Bush. I'll accept the magic wand, when there's 17 million jobs in manufacturing again.
There is absolutely nothing to imply had Obama been the president for third term, the results would have been any different. On the contrary.
After 2 Years, Trump Tax Cuts Have Failed To Deliver On GOP's Promises
Two years after Trump tax cuts, middle-class Americans are falling behind
As one family put it, they paid less taxes during the year, and had more money, but when the tax returns arrived at the end of the year, they received a lot less returns, and yearly total was less than previously.
"And while Democrats are for open borders and health care for illegal immigrants"
They aren't. You just talked yourself about how "hypocritical" the Democrats are, because Obama and company wanted to have stricter immigration laws. Which the Republican shot dead because Obama suggested it. THAT is how you hate someone more than you love USA.
"my father has budged not one inch on his immigration stance or his fight to build the wall"
Being stubborn is not a virtue, Junior.
"My dad wants to keep criminals and illegal drugs out of America."
So does everyone. But the wall isn't keeping criminals and illegal drugs out of America, those come through the legal ports. As witnessed by the border security. Which you refuse to listen, because it doesn't fit your agenda.
"He wants to stop the unlawful immigrant drain on our social safety net."
They don't. It's against the law, you see...
"DJT’s not against immigrants. He just wants those who, like my Ethiopian friend from the Denver coffee shop, love America, not the ones who hate us. I don’t see how anyone can argue with that."
No-one is arguing with THAT. What the Democrats are doing is seeing if the immigrants love America first before kicking them out by the assumption that because they come from a third world country, they are bad people. The Democrats deport criminals, your daddy want to deport every Mexican, Central American, Middle-Eastern, Muslim, Arab, people coming from third world countries, and he basically just wants blue eyed, blonde Norwegians who speak perfect English and own a couple of oil platforms.
That's another "I don't care about what others think". There was a reason for Obama's administration to say "no" to Keystone XL, and DAPL. DAPL is finished, now, and it did not create the jobs everyone promised. The construction was done by using temporary teams of men who lived in camps, not in local hotels, and the crime statistics rose during the construction. (No, not by the protesters, by the builders, who harassed the local population and protesters.)
It's not just the environmentalists and Native Americans who protest, it's the farmers and landowners as well, but just as with the BLM protests, Righties present the opposers as insignificant loonies whining about insignificant issues.
I could say a lot about the true value of Trump's energy politics, but I'll let AP say the most important:
AP FACT CHECK: The energy boom didn't start with Trump
"After decades of inaction, my father has also taken the first steps toward a lasting peace in the Korean peninsula. Not that anyone will give him credit for it."
Maybe because Korea has been working on it for decades. Nevertheless, Trump deserves credit for this.
"He took us out of the costly and ineffective Paris climate agreement."
Which is another great example of the shortsightedness of president Trump.
"I’m no scientist, but I’m pretty sure we can’t keep China’s dirty air from sneaking into the atmosphere over the United States."
and I'm pretty sure we can't keep USA's dirty air from sneaking into the atmosphere over the rest of the world. You are not isolated from the rest of the world, and you can not make decision just thinking about yourself. This is why the rest of the world thinks less of USA today than 4 years ago.
USA is one of the biggest polluters in the world, and a huge problem when it comes to global warming. That is a global problem and needs to be dealt with globally, not nationally. Especially when you do nothing about it nationally. The Paris agreement might have cost a lot initially, but it would pay itself back rather quickly.
Let me tell you a story. 1944 Finland lost the war against Soviet Russia. We were given a harsh deal, we lost important land areas, and were required to pay heavy reparations. 1952 we paid the last installment. We are the only country in the world who actually paid the reparations, and we did it without any help. What it did was that we had a healthy industry and it provided us a great economy. We are still one of the wealthiest countries, even though the recession struck us hard as it did everyone.
Now, if you adjust your economy to the Paris Agreement as agreed, you will be prepared and have a sturdy base and functioning economy when the third world countries have emptied the "easy solutions" and have to take the next step to keep up with their part of the deal.
So, shortsighted, egocentric and stupid.
"He’s gotten us out of lousy Obama and Clinton-era trade deals including the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and NAFTA."
NAFTA created jobs, increased investments, lowered prices, increased competition and lowered costs. All the job losses were due to employers taking the jobs to Mexico where it was cheaper, employers threatening to move to Mexico to keep workers from joining unions (interesting that your union contacts never talked about that...), so the wages were suppressed, and the employers employing cheap, foreign workers.
That NAFTA caused an influx of Mexican illegal immigrants, was basically also USA's fault. U.S. government-subsidized farm products forced the Mexican farmers out of job, so they went to USA to get job.
With the free trade agreements, USA could demand foreign countries to raise the salaries and worker conditions in their countries, which leveled the field.
Frankly, NAFTA's pros outweighed its cons, especially considering that USA itself could have diminished a lot of the cons.
"He took us out of John Kerry’s horrendous Iran deal."
"Horrendous", huh?
"He’s restored America’s respect on the world stage, and leaders around the globe know that the days of taking advantage of America are over."
ROTFLMAO
The rest of the claims is of the same quality. It's as if these people didn't know anything about what was going on before Trump became the president, so they assume everything that has happened is Trump's achievement.
"Well done. Obama added 12 million jobs and Clinton 23 million."
"Well done. Biden got 81 million votes."

"No American president has ever appointed two conservative justices to the Supreme Court who are better than Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh."
Like saying "the best conservative justices" - when everyone knows the best Supreme Court justices weren't conservative.
Loud and clear. Stealing others' achievements, exaggerating one's importance, cherry-picking, lying - Trump MOO
Yep. Here's where junior admits, he's "fighting", because
- he likes fighting, meaning being nasty on the social media, and inventing things about your opposition
- people are "attacking" him and his dad, which means criticism, opposition, and being held accountable for crimes.
- an invented BS reason that has nothing to do with reality, but sounds as if he cared.
