Low Energy Trump Junior Whines About People Being Mean To His Dad

An uncharacteristically low-energy Donald Trump, Jr. put out a video this week trying to revive old conspiracies about COVID ahead of the midterms. Junior made the repeatedly-debunked claim that COVID was just a way for Democrats to attack his dad and Republicans, but again, he didn't have the same spastic speaking pattern and hand gestures as he usually does. Farron Cousins discusses this.

And unusually subdued. Donald Trump Jr. Put out a video at the end of this week whining about people being, I guess, mean to his dad because of Covid. And then of course, reviving an old covid conspiracy just to, you know, put that back out there ahead of the midterm. So take a look again, very low energy. Donald Trump Jr. Just whining his little head off Here it is.

Really, it's like, isn't that what everyone knew? Like from day one? Now I understand this was always an obvious conclusion. You're telling me it came from a wet market, you know, and all the stuff to make 'em stronger and all of these things, but it never, no way it leaked from it. It didn't leak from the lab that does nothing but play with these viruses. It came from a bat that someone was eating to hurt Donald Trump, to hurt conservatives and to bolster and boost the liberal nonsense agenda. So remember, be skeptical of everything these clowns tell you because they've been lying to you from day one and they think you're stupid.

The lab leak theory, right? I mean, why not push that at a time when even though we're still losing over 3000 Americans a week, nobody's even talking about covid anymore. So what better time than to bring up an already debunked conspiracy theory to try to make your dad and other Republicans look better right before the midterms? Right. Um, now I gotta wonder, not long ago, uh, Junior actually tweeted out about an Adderall shortage here in the United States, and given the fact that he was incredibly low energy and subdued in that video, it makes me wonder if he was speaking from personal experience about that Adderall shortage, because usually we see him flailing his arms and doing, and all talking crazy, and everything's just way too fast. And nobody can tell that he is trying to say, But this one's a little more reserved. You kind of thinking things out.

It's almost as if in his other videos, he's, he's on something. I mean, that's the way it seems to me. So it is weird to see him just very low energy and calm and trying to push, again, debunked conspiracy theories from years ago. Now, here is what gets me about all this, aside from the low energy crap, if we were to assume for a moment that that theory he's pushing, let's assume it was true, Okay? It's not, but let's, let's pretend for a moment that it were, um, does that change anything? The answer of course is no, because even if it was created in a lab and accidentally got out, okay, well, yeah, we should investigate that, maybe look into it. But again, that's only if it had happened. We know it didn't. But, even if that happened, happened, it's still a deadly virus that's spread around the globe and is still spreading around the globe.

So that doesn't change anything about how your dad mishandled the pandemic and people, of course, holding him accountable for it by voting against him in 2020. Do you see what I'm saying? Like, it doesn't matter where the virus came from, the fact that Donald Trump as president did nothing about it, is the problem. Like, it, it, it wouldn't matter if it came from a bat or from a lab or from a cat or from a chicken. It was still a virus that Donald Trump lied to the public about repeatedly. And based on the evidence, we also know that he and his administration interfered with the work of the Centers for Disease Control so that they would look better for the 2020 election. None of that changes if the origin of the virus changed places. But Trump Junior doesn't want you to know that. He doesn't want you to understand the after that part. And so he puts out this low energy video trying to excuse away his dad's horrible action. And of course, excuse away the fact that more than 1 million Americans are dead. A lot of people who would be alive today had his dad simply taken this seriously from the start.
