Eric's threat to sue a guy from Meidas Touch for accurately reporting on his and Junior's "investments"?

All his claims of "perfect score" to the contrary, I'm guessing he didn't do so hot.

Particularly given that after-the-fact he can't even report the names of the animals on the test correctly:

And yea, Grampy would have gotten his car keys taken away long ago if he'd acted this way. Hubs took his mom's away for less than this.

Don Jr. and Eric are certainly enabling him, probably also Barron. Ivanka and Tiffany seem to be keeping lower profiles lately, but Jared is definitely still in the thick of it.

So they don't see a problem.

And yeah. The money too. It comes from him.

That was my first thought. Dad being Dad…..

Peace ☮️

I said before that Trump would easily sell out his kids if it meant avoiding prison or other punishment. This includes Ivanka. He would let them get the blame for what he did.

The kids mostly care about inheritance. I don't think they love him.

The legal fights over the inheritance is something I'm looking forward to after he iz dead.

So, don't expect them to do anything that might piss him off. He's just the type to write someone out of his will at the slightest provocation.

It's a real-life "waiting for Dad to die" drama. Succession in a box.

Beavis and Butt-Head are totally useless failsons, they'd have nothing without him. And Jarvanka have gotten literal billions, corruptly, with more to come in the near future. None of them are going to kill the golden goose.

A separate matter is why the media ignores the abnormal dynamic.

Or maybe they do, but are scared shitless of having the vindictive bastard sic his flying monkeys on them to crap on their good times.

"Who will bell the cat?" writ large.

They'd do "weekend with Donnie" if it came to that, because greed is the driving force in that family.
Money is what they love, not their father. He taught them that, didn't he.

... not withstanding Redhats, they are very likely waiting for him to auger in with unmistakable finality. He's right on the edge of it even as we speak, and no doubt Don junior is impatiently trying to educate Eric in the nuances of prediction market wagering.
The rest of us are nervously hoping that the generals can keep the Nuclear Football out of his reach. Fingers crossed.

And they're afraid of their father
And without their father they'd lose their influence
And one could never get the others to agree

They know he won’t listen. He’s going to do what he wants to do, and he has the power to do it.

They don't. None of them give one whit about each other. They'll all use and dump each other at the drop of a hat. Maybe the worst family I've ever seen in my life and I've seen some doozies.

intervene with Dad at his worst: Fear of being cut out of his Will.

And WTF, all of us were out of the damned Will.

The Don is their meal ticket. They are all nonentities. Without him they are nothing. Beyond the kids, that is the same for everyone in the cabinet or top levels of the administration. Many of them know that he, or his power of the pardon, are the only thing standing between them and jail.

TRUMPS love of family!!!

...that they might not even take notice. They are inured to his bizarre behaviors.

Of reasons.....

They've all hated his repulsive ass for decades, but lived large off his success -- or rather, series of upward-failures.

They hate that his need for ultra-mega-grandiosity and drama made them pretend to do a damn bit of work in their otherwise coddled lives.

They hate that his continued overlong existence stands in the way of their "rightful" inheritance.

They hate that his current general unpopularity also taints their sick entitled asses.

They rode his coattails all the way up, they know they're out of their depth, and they hope he dies before he drags them down with him. They hate him and hope he dies, a fairly common sentiment these days.

Neither of them has a backbone nor any sense of caring for others.

The madder he gets the more power descends to Kushner, Junior, Eric, and all the other enablers. When JD gets in that will all change, either because he doesn't trust them or because Peter Thiel does not.

As long as there’s an advantage to be gained or money to be made, they’ll never intervene.

There is no love in that family.

1. They despise him. But have to play along to stay in the good graces.

2. Prior to this, they were looking at a squandered family fortune and looking ways to capitalize on the name. Probably had plans to sell all the assets, even at a loss, just to get something. Now he's using his spot to generate money, they are not going to jeopardize it.

3. Family name. If it becomes too much of an embarrassment they will get laughed out of everywhere.

4. Afraid of what may come out about him. It's going to be a publicity nightmare eventually, better to handle it when he's dead and can't rage and tweet publically anymore.

Personally, I think they will fall off the map afterwards. Change branded properties if kept and sell off the rest. They know the name is now toxic as well as being associated with him. And his "red hat" followers aren't exactly those with significant disposable income. So, drop the name, reorganize the company and just keep a low profile. But for now, milk it for all you can get.
