Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, drew a wave of online ridicule after complaining that Democrats want to make Ohio a state.

Trump Jr. made the remark Monday while actually in the Buckeye State to campaign for Republican candidates.

“They want to, what is it? Save democracy by destroying democracy,” Trump Jr. said of Democrats. “They wanna pack the Supreme Court. They wanna make Ohio a state, make D.C. a state, have permanent one-party rule.”

    'They want to, what is it? Save democracy by destroying democracy,”

    Said the crotch-fruit of someone literally taking away half the country’s right to vote

    “They wanna pack the Supreme Court.

    Just like his pedo-daddy did. Never forget that mitch the bitch left COVID checks on his desk while they broke for break…then the second RBG died held an emergency session to shove a bootlicker into the SCOTUS…and left the checks on his desk.

    “They wanna make Ohio a state, make D.C. a state”

    Lay off the blow

    "have permanent one-party rule.”

    Which is exactly what you daughter-raping padre and his handlers are trying to do.

    Fuck you and your entire fascist ghoul family

    GET OUT AND VOTE BLUE 💙

    “Just one more bump and I should finally be clear-headed enough to speak” thought Junior.

    “Someone said something dumb. Read our article about how Twitter reacts!”

    It’s possible making Ohio a state was a mistake, but a bit too late to question it now.

    Every single accusation is an admission. The Grand Old Pedophiles are terrified of the majority and the return of the rule of law.

    With the headline I assumed he fumbled a line about making Ohio a competitive state, but nope, it’s about actual statehood. And the territory that would fit there, Puerto Rico, is nothing like Ohio.

    People can jumble terms in the same category, but it’s still a pretty laughable mistake. Probably should use a teleprompter if you’re not well practiced at public speaking.

      I’m guessing DC was the intended remark, that he said Ohio and then DC was the intended correction.

      He was probably reminding himself in his head that he was in Ohio as he spoke and when it came to say a state like name, his internal reminder just leaked out.

      Still funny, but I can see how it could have happened.

      His pedophile father still fumbles with a teleprompter and then blames the entire country in which the teleprompter is setup, even though HIS own handlers set it up and control it. So, it runs in the family…

        Remember when he had to like walk up stairs and he got mad because hes a fat POS, and so then he blamed Europe as a unit for it but it was actually his own team that disabled the escalators.

      I could see thinking geographically and saying something like Cuba, but Ohio? That’s a new level of disconnection from reality.

    Eh. Hilarious, but obviously just a “mental typo”. Everyone makes them. I’m all for poking a little fun, but also giving people room to make mistakes like this without it being a huge deal.

    edit: Jesus, I didn’t realize I had to explain things. Obama said something about 53 states. Also a mental typo. These things happen. Waste your time on these, sure, but we all have limited energy. I’d rather spend my time usefully fighting fascism rather than wasting it on things like this that don’t actually matter. But y’know, you do you. All it does is distract you from the important things, but it’s your right to waste your time if you want. And sure, have a litle laugh about it. Whatever.

      “Potatoe”

      “Slick willie”

      “Enthusiastic scream”

      “Swiftboating”

      “Thanks Obama”

      “Biden gaffe machine”

      “But her emails”

      “But her laugh”

      …But when a nazi scumbag has an awkward moment, suddenly the calls for decency and measured reactions. Fuck that times infinity. Any and every low blow is absolute fair game at this point.

        “Potatoe” was Dan Qualye, Republican, though, right? Who was famously then immortalised as the lowest possible ranking in the Civilization game series.

          You’re right, I was just tossing out as many things as I could think of. Pardon my gish gallop, my main point is just that showing respect to nazis is not going to earn it from them so why bother.

        Was the person you replied to ever inconsistent with their stance about “clemency for small political/social gaffes”?

        You’re making it seem like they’re soapboxing for Don Jr. when they could just be consistently against making fun of people.

      Hang them all for who they are and what they’ve done, not their brain farts.

      Stating an unpopular moral highground against popular humor and satisfaction is difficult, I see you.

        Yes. That is the point exactly.

        against popular humor

        Not against humour, it’s jsut a waste of time and energy to make a big deal about this. Energy better spent actually fighting fascism.

        That said, it’s fine to laugh. But people are spending a lot of energy on this, and there’s only so much energy we have.

    It is so wild to think that because of idiotic Americans going by Worthington’s Law that we even know who this asshole is. Same goes for his father.

    Both are total idiot failsons, but because they have money, morons feel their opinions are worthwhile.

    The Republicans have never been this scared of the Democrats before. What do they know that we don’t? Did the Democrats develop a spine or something?

      Eh, Republicans always fearmonger about what Democrats are supposedly going to do. Like “socialism” (or “communism”) or whatever. They’re gonna take your guns, they’re gonna raise your taxes, etc etc etc.

        They absolutely do want to take your guns. My state just banned the most popular handgun in the world. The choice between D and R is a choice of which rights you’re willing to lose first.

    Trump Jr.’s list named the court and D.C. too, but put Ohio where theirs had Puerto Rico.

    Ah yes, the Caribbean island of Puohio Rico. Well done Don Jr.

    The idiot apple doesn’t fall far from the stupid tree, does it.
