Unfortunate side effect of the scandal is this period-comma-apostrophe bullshit from the New Yorker.pic.twitter.com/ITijnSXOWn

"Donald Trump, Jr.,'s Attorney: 'He Will Coöperate'" (I enjoyed this opportunity to work in a lot of puzzling punctuation.)
When pretentious conventions supersede readability you have lost your way.
Sometimes things are not necessarily "right" or "wrong" just a matter of style -- @meperl @CJR #languagecorner https://www.cjr.org/language_corner/linguistics_consonants_rules.php …pic.twitter.com/pdhKTdlqt2
Could you use a couple more semicolons in that piece? Wouldn't want to leave any doubt about how pretentious your copy editors are.
Understand what you're doing, but the accepted combination of conventions is "Jr.'s,", where the Jr. bears the possessive & comma follows.
If it's what you say I love it @NewYorkerhttps://twitter.com/NewYorker/status/885174277208764417 …
There's no excuse for the second comma

What IF he had his Ph.D.??
But @ananavarro's succinct unpunctuated "Trumpito" is an appropriate alternative when Tweeting.
Oh, we all know the rules. It just looks as silly as an umlaut in "reëlection." Oh. SNAP!
And yet it reads terribly.
I'm sorry but this explanation is stupid. Just drop the apostrophe or put the comma after the 's'.
Also, if the abbreviation ends in the same letter as the whole word, no . required.
They could have even written Junior in full to spare us all this foolishness. After all, no one is forcing them to use an abbr.',
