Donald Jr. wasn't teaching about Socialism he was giving Chloe a lesson in 101 Trumpism

In the twitter below the guy who should have been a waiter at Olive Garden but now dreams of out twittering Brother in Law so he can be daddies favourite thinks that he is taking a shot at Socialism. What he really is describing is basic Trump business strategies, if you have a subcontractor in front of you, take half of the agreed upon payment out of their pockets. Banks, lawyers, chefs, window contractors, check, check, check and check.

If he wanted to teach her about Socialism then he should have taken some of the excess which she shouldn't be consuming for health reasons and go to a Children's Hospital and go room to room and give them to children who missed Halloween because they were undergoing medical treatment.

It would have also been a good way to teach your child about enlightened Humanism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, et al. It would have been a good way to teach your child to be a better person than you will ever be.

Maybe her father should have explained to her she was a 'taker', did nothing to earn the candy, and should be ashamed of herself for asking for it.

Note: I'm trying to point out the Republican attitude toward the poor here.

Theory 1: As a loyal son he knows how badly his father is performing so he is doing his part to distract with purposeful bullshit like this.
Theory 2: He is one of the dumbest people on the planet.

Pretty sure it is #2.

Theory 3: As a loyal but incredibly stupid son, he knows how badly his dad is doing, and he thinks this is helpful and makes him look smart instead of like the insipid blithering idiot that he is.
