Trump Junior Goes Ballistic After Mike Pence Criticizes His Dad

Former Vice President Mike Pence offered the slightest amount of criticism to his former boss, Donald Trump, this week, and it sent Donald Trump, Jr. into a blind rage. Following comments from Pence about his rivals wanting to "retreat" while he wants to "lead America with strength," Junior went scorched earth against Pence. Junior claimed that Pence was the "epitome of weakness" and then accused him of being a servant to some "master" whom he didn't name. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses Junior's bizarre meltdown.

Former Vice President Mike Pence offered a very, very mild criticism of Donald Trump, and of course, several other Republican presidential candidates this week. When he said that, you know, these folks like Trump and Ramis Swami, he mentioned specifically with their isolationist policies here in the United States, you know, retreating from the rest of the world. He said that these people are retreating, you know, and if he were president, he would be, uh, as he put it, when I'm president, will lead from American strength. And this, of course, was in response to, uh, the conflict in Israel and this very mild criticism of Donald Trump referring to his isolationist policies. That, by the way, is not an inaccurate statement, but it sent Donald Trump Jr. Over the edge. So Trump Jr. Gets on social media and absolutely tries to go scorched Earth against Mike Pence saying this, you are the embodiment of the kind of weakness that led to this. You should have paid attention when you were groveling at the feet of the master. Trump brought peace because the world knew f around and find out. We'll never return to the failed approach of you and your uni party fools.

Um, now groveling at the feet of the master. Uh, unfortunately Junior did not tell us who master is. Uh, maybe he's talking about his father. Like, I mean, that's really the only like master that Mike Pence has had to grovel towards during his time in politics. So maybe, maybe that's what he means. If so, that's a very creepy way to refer to your own father. Um, and then of course, he throws in the buzzword for Republicans uni party, right? Because there's no daylight between Democrats and Republicans. So you see it all the time in these people that are like so anti-establishment that they don't realize they're actually helping the establishment. They use the term uni party very frequently because they think it sounds cool without realizing that it's a really stupid assessment and prove that you are not paying attention to American politics. Other than that, though, I gotta, I gotta go with Junior here because yes, Mike Pence is a coward.

Mike Pence is weak. I don't know if he's the epitome of weakness, but in terms of being a weak individual, he 100% is he went along with every dastardly plan that Donald Trump put into action while president of the United States until of course, the last minute when he decided he didn't want to go to jail by overturning the results of the election. So he's like, ah, this is a bridge too far, not gonna do it. And of course, the one time in his life that Mike Pence actually showed courage is now the reason that Republicans hate him. But he is a weak individual. He absolutely is not a strong leader. And for him to even think that he is a shot at becoming president of the

United States to this day, still blows my mind. He has no base within the Republican party. The religious right has already latched itself onto Donald Trump. They don't need a false prophet like Mike Pence to lead him anymore. And the anti-Trump Republicans don't want anything to do with Trump or the people who were with Trump. So that includes Mike Pence. So those folks are out, the MAGA folks still out there wanting to hang him. So Mike Pence has no base, he has no audience. So why is he out there still pretending he can run for president and actually win? That to me is what is so confounding.
