    With “Jr.” occurring in the middle of a line, where else is the possessive indicator supposed to go?http://nyer.cm/r8KoYg3

        The possessive is fine. Your, comma, conventions, are, the, bullshit.

        Why not just Jr.'s, ?

        A brave start! Both commas are superfluous; Jr.'s reads just fine. The compact Jr's is dandy to iconoclasts.

        Asking the real question. Also, what is the proper name for a gathering of Trumps? Gaggle? Dollop? Tirade?

        Follow the advice of your own editor E.B. White and drop the commas. Jr. is restrictive and not parenthetic.pic.twitter.com/5CyDrPsOdK

        The possessive is perfectly fine. Your comma is the problem. Commas cannot be part of words. #grammar

        The problem isn't the possessive indicator. It's putting a comma inside a word. It's inexcusable, really.

        The way this defense is worded seems to imply that an apostrophe-s can go after ANY appositive: "Fred, Donald’s father, ’s house was big."

        Eliminate the commas altogether. Superfluous. You could even be daring and eliminate the period. That would cause pearl clutching, I know.
