"Don can't do any deals because he'll be overly scrutinized. He just goes to work and is miserable."

Don Jr and Eric are ‘miserable’ — and can’t wait for White House nightmare to end, friends say



According to a new report in People Magazine, friends of the Trump family revealed the president’s sons Don Jr. and Eric are miserable and want the next three years to be over.

***

“He doesn’t like failure and mistakes, and he doesn’t accept them,” one source who has done business with Trump told People. “You have to justify your existence to be in his realm.”

Most weekends Trump Jr. leaves Manhattan for a cabin in upstate New York with his wife and their five children. He can also be spotted at the Riverside Cafe in Roscoe, New York, where the manager claims Trump Jr. is a good person and doesn’t want to be in the spotlight. “He never has his hair slicked back like he does on TV,” the manager said.

“Don can’t do any deals because he’ll be overly scrutinized. He just goes to work every day and is miserable,” said one source in the boys’ circle.

..."Donald Trump’s family is reportedly not enjoying their father’s term in the White House. Don Jr. and Eric are miserable and want the next three years to be over."

The only difference being that we'd like the nightmare to be over sooner than in the next three years. I could go for three weeks.

Don't go to bed with no price on your head,
Don't do it.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Keep your eye on the sparrow,
When the going gets narrow.
Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price,
Don't do it.
Don't run your feet down a dead-end street.
Keep your eye on the sparrow,
When the going gets narrow.
Don't do me dirt or you're gonna get hurt
Don't do it.
Don't run away till you hear what I say.

In this article, it's "he can't do deals without scrutiny."

If the details of this meeting had never surfaced, he'd be happy as a clam.

Until this moment, the only time ANYONE was talking about Don Jr. was when he put himself in the spotlight.

I'm sure he had many "deals" going on in the shade.

But it's all about dad, about his need to be dead-center in the spotlight, to be admired and revered and worshiped at his rallies.

And the kids are collateral damage. They are not here to live their own lives. They are here to be Trumps, and every little tributary leads back to dad's river. That's how they "earn" his "love."

Smartest one in the bunch is Tiffany, for staying out of the whole mess. You don't read stories about her being miserable and wishing it would end. That's because she's not in it to win it, like Don and Eric and Ivanka. She's doing her own thing. The other three lack the ability to do that. They think love is waiting for them in dad's orbit. Truth is, there's nothing waiting for them other than dad, and all three know exactly what that means.

After eight years of the media and the republicans picking at his predecessor for every fucking, petty, little thing, did they really think nobody would be scrutinizing him? I mean, they even made a big stink about what kind of mustard President Obama put on his goddamn hamburger. Dd these imbeciles actually think that they wouldn't be watched that closely, as well? Or, did they think they could do what they want because they aren't black? They are either stupid or racist. Or both. I go with "both."

If Don Jr and Eric T didn't have anything to hide, they wouldn't fear scrutiny. The entire family brought this on themselves. Their 'misery' x 1000 for the American public, the majority of whom want those 3 years over, too. Like yesterday!

Guess if you'd ever stood up to Daddy Dearest in your liver-spotted soft lives, you might not have to disclose the river of dirty Russian money powering your lifestyles.

Guess if you'd ever struck out on your own, you might have lives of your own - disowned, probably, given Daddy's psychopathic tendencies - but that's sheer gain in my book.

Guess if you'd ever spoken out against Daddy's New Hobby back in 2015, you wouldn't have to worry about all that scrutiny and legal attention.

But the money! That sweet, sweet money - you had to stick around for your share, didn't you?

Losers.

Geeze, Louise! The tRump family's misery has just begun. They'd better go buy an asbestos raincoat because the heat is going to get worse as their empire bursts into flames around them. And who will help them douse the flames? Don't count on Daddy Dearest. He will throw a truck load of gasoline on it and swear he didn't do it.

Honestly, every day this story dribbles out and reveals more and more corruption, lies and reasons to be concerned. How much longer will this go on before the die hard base stops defending this bunch of thugs and thieves??

Don thinks that if he pauses his criminal deals, Mueller will ignore the deals he made with Putin.
It doesn't work that way, Don.
Look on the bright side, you're well on your way to earning an all expenses paid vacation in a Federal prison.

The guy is facing serous criminal charges if what has been alleged against him is true, and he's largely admitted to the facts.

He needs to be worried about potential prison time. Deals are the least of his worries.
