Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of the Republican frontrunner, told the student newspaper at Brigham Young University on Monday that he doesn’t understand why Latter-day Saints aren’t supporting his father in droves.
“You know there’s a lot more in common with Trump, and all the people I know in the state,” Trump Jr. told The Daily Universe. “I know a lot of people of the faith and, you know, I get it. And they get me. And they’re like, ‘If only people could see that side of him more often.'”
Trump Jr. said the LDS perception of his father was the “greatest misconception probably amongst the LDS community.”
There has been a large push to win over Mormon voters because they constitute one of the largest Republican voting blocs in Utah. The Utah Republican caucuses are tonight.
Trump Jr. said his father was a “family man.”
“If they saw that side of Donald Trump, they’d say, ‘Wait a minute, that’s a lot like my family; this is a lot like the way we conduct ourselves,’” he told The Daily Universe.
The clueless apple doesn’t fall far from the clueless tree.
“If they saw that side of Donald Trump, they’d say, ‘Wait a minute, that’s a lot like my family; this is a lot like the way we conduct ourselves,’”
Yes, if your father was a thrice married, philandering, misogynistic, racist, draft-dodging war monger. Other than that, exactly the same.
Pretty sure that bragging about adultery, multiple divorces, airing your dirty laundry on TV, is not how your average Mormon family conducts itself.
if you could step outside your echo chamber/self reinforcing entourage group of admirers you might actually realize that they think of him the same way as the other ~60% of the country…
as a raging orange buffoon…
LOL, this time when I got the typical error message about “post too similar” it could have been talking about yours. You beat me by seconds.
