Donald Trump Jr’s been and gone and interviewed Donald Trump and no matter how awful, painful, awkward and utterly cringeworthy you might think it’s going to be, you don’t know the half of it.

This 50-second clip is just, well, have a watch for yourself.

So weird. Even Brezhnev did not have his son do interviews like this one. https://t.co/wlb2MxfGQs

As someone who interviews people for a living – and who used to be pretty bad it – I can tell you the 43 second suck-up question is a bad look. https://t.co/iJcubL08Ib

“You’re wonderful daddy!”
“I said the same thing to my father as you’re saying to me me right now and he loathed me in his heart as much as I do you. This motivated me to go on and try to be an even bigger cunt than him. So you know what to do junior. Now fuck off.”
“Thanks pop.” https://t.co/thTpflFy5b

If my son felt the need or even had the capacity to publicly blow smoke up my ass like this, I would institutionalize him. https://t.co/a2GFZHp6dx

In my 49 years on earth, I have never witnessed anything this pathetic. They have created a self-awareness vacuum where dignity goes to die. It is cyclonic neediness wrapped in transparent daddy issues wrapped in conman patter, a loathsome turducken atop a mountain of turds. https://t.co/NwNlWDej41
