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.

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