Dear Donald: If You Could Get Your Namesake To Shut Up, That'd Be Great

Donald Trump Jr. Has Inherited His Father's Mouth

Mr. Trump:

As a Canadian watching the farce that is American politics right now, I continue to be quite amused by what you feel is the right thing to do. There is no question that you becoming the United States' president has bolstered your celebrity status. The problem is, it's also cemented your status as a complete fool, and it seems to have spread throughout your gene pool.

Sir, you have claimed time and again that the press has engaged in this significant witch hunt against you and yours. Do we all need to remind you about the stink you raised when Barack Obama was running for office? How you were somehow convinced that he was not truly an American? How did Mr. Obama respond? I seem to recall that essentially, he blew you off, though he did so by making you the joke — tastefully.

"I don't know about you guys, but I am so relieved that the whole birther thing is over," Obama commented at the time about your idiotic claims that he wasn't an American citizen. "I mean, ISIL, North Korea, poverty, climate change, none of those things weighed on my mind like the validity of my birth certificate."

Not one to shy away from a challenge, you thought you would show everyone just how foolish you were by engaging in ongoing rounds of name calling: "Crooked Hillary," "Lyin' Ted," and "Little Marco" were just some of the names you shot at your opponents (Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, respectively). Sir, you are in your 70s now, and it's about time you behaved with a certain degree of dignity.

But no, it gets better; now your son, Donald Trump Jr., is showing the world just how much of his genes he inherited from you by doing the one thing that may just prove without a doubt that your team and the Russian government colluded to get you the nation's top job. He released that chain of emails which basically told everyone that yes, he wanted to meet with someone in Russia who supposedly had dirt on Hillary Clinton, your opponent in the race to become president.

According to The New York Times, "The documents 'would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.'”

Your son's response? “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.”

I'm sorry, but did we just come from the set of a soap opera? Did your son, whom you trust enough to run your business — a huge multinational corporation — effectively admit to wanting to collude with Russian representatives to ensure that you won the presidency? There are those in the entertainment industry, I'm certain, working in writers' rooms across the country and thinking, "We can't make this stuff up."

Now, to make things "better," your son releases the entire email chain that more or less incriminates himself and your team, and when interviewed by the media, he said, "in retrospect, I would have done things a little differently."

A little differently? Sir, you're going to need to think long and hard about what you want to see happen in the coming days, weeks and months, because your son — supposedly intelligent enough to run your company — seems to have effectively shot you in the foot. He's released to the world what amounts to incriminating evidence that your team did indeed work with the Russians to see you anointed president.

This isn't a witch hunt. It's fact.

Part of being a grown up — never mind the president — is acknowledging when you've done something you should not have, and owning it. It's not about blaming everyone else, and it's not about being the loudest.

It's time, sir, for you to admit that you are seriously in over your head. Resign with dignity — what little you might have left.
