Donald Trump Jr. was widely mocked after he attempted to declare victory over "woke" ideology in a tweet over the weekend—only for his demand for what to "take out" next to fall flat on its face.
The irony was off the charts when the eldest Trump scion took to X, formerly Twitter, with the following message:
"Now that woke is dead can we take out perpetual victim mentality next???"
You can see his post below.
If Trump Jr. wants to see a pretty crystal clear example of "perpetual victim mentality," he doesn't need to look further than his own father, President-elect Donald Trump, whom he didn't seem to see he was inadvertently criticizing.
Trump is the same man who has spent years lying about the integrity of the 2020 election and was this year convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 election.
He is the same man who has falsely claimed that President Joe Biden is behind his prosecution in the election interference case and that he is the victim of a "witch hunt." The same man who says he is entitled to personal attacks against his political opponents and suggested they be tried before military tribunals, by the way.
In fact, Trump's persecution complex is so wide-reaching that he openly panders to evangelicals and white nationalists by casting himself as a Messiah figure—and he certainly views his re-election as an affirmation of his perceived greatness even while complaining openly and often about everyone he believes has wronged him.
People were quick to point this out.
Keeping with the perpetual victimhood, Trump Jr. claimed this week that his father’s Cabinet picks—which include alleged sex trafficker Matt Gaetz for Attorney General—are being targeted, asserting that any resistance from the Washington establishment only underscores that these nominees are exactly the kind of disruptors voters want.
Trump Jr. conceded that some of the nominees might face challenges securing Senate confirmation, even with Republicans set to hold a majority in January.
However, he emphasized, “They are going to be actual disrupters.” He added that while there are “backup plans” for nominees who may struggle in the confirmation process, “we’re obviously going with the strongest candidates first.”
