Second comma needs to be there. "Junior" needs to be offset.

That's not the only style guide, and not the one NYer follows. Jr is either not offset (no commas) or fully offset (commas both sides).

Nowhere. It's correct. But couldn't you have rephrased to avoid clunkiness? "Why Donald Trump, Jr., loves Russian dirt," or the like?

Just call him Uday. Keep it simple.

It's not the possessive indicator. You have an extra comma.

Drop the peccant comma. Orwell says break any rule to avoid doing something barbaric.

Conventions are great, but when you have a clusterfuck of punctuation, why not just get rid of the offsetting commas in this specific case?

Correct: "Donald Trump, Jr.'s Love for Russian Dirt" Better: "Putin's Puppet's Son is an Oinker"

The comma seems misplaced but I'm pretty sure you've researched it.

No issue with the possessive indicator but the commas are superfluous. Only use commas when their absence would lead to confusion...

As in "He helped his uncle jack off a horse" vs. "He helped his uncle, Jack, off a horse"
