You Gotta Love Him

I can see Don Junior now, eyes ablaze with stupidity, Emailing “If it’s what you say I love it” to a Russian offer to give him – HIM! – some dirt on Hillary.

This slick-haired twerp was going to bring home the bacon to daddy like some drooling beagle and show the Big Man that he was ready for all kinds of prime time. Fuck Jared – this would make him the apple of daddy’s squinty eyes. This what he had been waiting for all his lame-ass back seat life. He would jump on it like Jesse Owens. Shit, he might as well bring in Montafort and Jared so that he’d have eyeball witnesses for the coup of the campaign.  Jared would eat his handsome heart out too, quietly, like everything else he did, which made Little Donny crazy. Payback time, dear bro-in-law. This would put his uppity sister Ivanka in her place, too. He’d never liked her or that weird name. Let’s see the Perfect Couple top this! This would move him to the front of Daddy’s line, make him the new heir apparent.

He would be Michael Corleone/Al Pacino, cool as the other side of the pillow. Well, the failing New York Times has verified the nickname insiders hung on him some time ago: Fredo, the Corleone son who was so weak and miserably treacherous that Michael had to finally have him put out of his misery. Fredo, incidentally, was played by the tragic John Casale, who died at an early age. That fits, too, because any political hopes Little Donny had are as dead as Vladimir Putin’s eyes. Big Don will have him back collecting rents in Queens.

There is a delicious irony in all this. If Donald Trump is brought down by Donald Trump junior it will be the biggest case of chickens coming home to roost since Noah loaded a pair onto the ark.

Like his father, Little Donny/Fredo didn’t bother with any Stop signs or Caution Slippery When Wet signs. No, man, he just went for it. Just barged ahead like the Big Role Model he was going to impress. Check with a lawyer maybe? We don’t need no stinkin’ lawyers.

This punk has a lot ‘splainin’ to do, Lucy. He’s going to be doing star turns in front of every Russian-link commission there is. And just maybe it’s going to turn out that Daddy-O was in the loop after all – despite his tweeted denials – and if that’s the case then there is a case for all kinds of impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors.

Call it Hillary’s Revenge.

Love it.
