      I wonder what would happen if DOJ said to Don Jr:, You can flip on Pops on the Russian conspiracy, or we take Trump Org down? It's like the Sophie's Choice of the insecure and outmatched son of a NPD business tycoon.

      This is not what I think is happening, mind you. But as a mental exercise of late I try to imagine what might make this story even crazier and here I am. Don Jr choosing the brand or the father, knowing the brand is the only thing that will keep him in elephant hunts.

          Brand wins every day. There is no real love or loyalty anywhere in this pack of hyenas.

          I think so too. I guess it depends on how long Jr would have to spend in the pokey. But brand is also paying for his legal representation.

          I think the brand is toast already. The only part of the business flourishing is the part where people think they can buy influence. Once Trump is out of the WH that’s gone. However, Jr. is not too bright and he might not realize this.

          During the campaign I fantasized a political thriller in which the adult children of a Trump-like disastrous candidate conspire (it turns out) to have their father assassinated by a (hired) terrorist, in order to save the brand.

          I think he would immediately contact Trump Sr. and get him to fire everyone in the DOJ, unless it's state charges against Don Jr./Trump org. I think Kushner is a more likely flip.

          Also if Don Jr. does flip I think it will be noticeable by his silence on Twitter. Right now he's still saying idiotic things.

          What would Jr. be saving? What’s left of the Trump Org brand after its namesake gets impeached and imprisoned?

          Why do you think Don Jr has anything to tell them on the "Russia conspiracy"? Remember, it was Cohen who "went to Prague" 🤣

          It also virtually writes itself as a Law & Order episode. Maybe guest starring Jake Busey. #elephanthunts

          Maybe he has no such choice. If Trump goes down, so will his brand. Not even Eric's charisma could prevent this.

          The camp David family get away was to strategize. What is the best thing to do for a crime family? We can't know but my bet is they've hid funds.

          and it would be the balls if they get Jr. to flip, and then they take down Trump Org. anyway. *justice*

          His father would be proud of him choosing the brand... Shit Trump would choose his brand over himself... Donald knows the only thing more important than actual wealth is the perception of wealth.
