    It’s just content tailored to his base to make him look oppressed. That’s why he keeps disregarding the gag order too.

    I bet his kids say, “I don’t recall” a thousand times anyway.

      Prosecution: “Is this your signature on the bottom of this document that I am now showing to the court?”

      Don Jr.: “I don’t recall.”

      Defense: “Objection, your honor. My client is blind and can’t reasonably testify.”

      Judge: "Overruled. Mr. Trump Jr. is clearly not blind. Also, he’s not your client.

      Trump, on the steps: “The judge is biased against me! He won’t even let my son testify to excommunicate me!”

      *How I expect it to go*

    He’s not worried about them. He’s worried that his idiot kids won’t be able to lie convincingly and it will ruin his defense.

    It always strikes me as strange when anyone refers to their 30 or 40+ year old offspring, as children. They aren’t remotely children in any way.

      To me, i feel there’s a difference between calling someone a child (indicating a youthful connotation) and being someone’s child (a familial connotation).

      My children will always be my children, but sometimes my oldest acts like a child.

      If that makes any sense.

        I don’t fly helicopters either. But when I see one stuck in a tree, I know that’s not right.

          Can you just educate yourself to the fact that words have multiple usages, and children both means youth as well as offspring so we don’t keep having this retarded conversation?

            Do you really believe I don’t know individual words are used in different ways?

            I thought it would be obvious, that I just believe useing words with the least ambiguous and narrowest meaning available, is a more clear way to communicate.

            In this case offspring would undeniably be the term to fit the meaning parents want to convey. Continuing to use child is a sign their concept of their offspring hasn’t kept up with the current reality. The fact that this behavior is common dosen’t mean it’s correct and immune from criticism.

            Both it, and your attitude of infallibility, are just two of the many windmills I fight against.

              Bro do you understand tilting windmills is foolish, and that’s the point of the expression?

              You being butthurt about common linguistic usages isn’t your valiant struggle, it’s your autism acting up

                I certainly do. You got the point perfectly.

                It’s my pointless, useless, impossible, imaginary battle against the world itself. But hey. You don’t fight the fight because you can win. You fight the fight that needs fighting.

      You can call them family but that does not specify exactly who they are. Family can refer to brother and sisters or parents as well as your children. It would be pretty common to ask an 80 year old of they have any children. Don’t think it really refers to a certain age of the child.
