Trump threatens to 'fire' Don Jr as he appears by speaker phone at fractious Turning Point conference

Source: The Independent

Sunday 21 December 2025 18:01 EST

President Donald Trump bizarrely threatened to “fire” Don Jr., after his son put him on speaker phone at Turning Point USA’s annual AmericaFest conference. “I wanted to call in a little guest. He may not be here today, but I wanted to make sure he had a chance to say ‘hi,’” Don Jr. said at the Phoenix, Arizona, conference on Sunday, before adding, “Mr President!”

Video showed the right-wing crowd erupt into cheers as the president greeted them, saying, “Oh, I wanna be with you. But I’ll be with you soon, and I just wanna say that nobody did more for me than Charlie, and there’s nobody better than Erika, and you are the greatest people on Earth.”

After thanking his MAGA base for voting for him in the past election, the elder Trump added, “I just wanted to thank you all, and I hope my son’s doing a good job representing me; otherwise, I’ll have to say ‘You’re fired, Don. You’re fired.’”

“So thank you very much and have a great day. I hope Don makes a great speech. If he doesn’t make a great speech, let me know about it, I’ll give him hell,” the president added.

Between trump's drooling long-distance comments, and Vance's openly racist spewing, and Charlie Kirk's vile spirit casting its usual pall, I think they did Democrats a huge favor.

More importantly, has his cocaine supply been interrupted with Trump's dick wagging?

So Junior's cocaine supply should be just fine...especially after Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who had brought 500 tons of cocaine into the US.

I'm not defending any of them, but that was said in jest and isn't too newsworthy.
