Eric Swalwell: Donald J Trump Jr + Eric Trump - this is not right. Your father is sick. Don't let him do this.

Rep. Eric Swalwell
I’m just begging at this point. Donald J Trump Jr + Eric Trump - this is not right. Your father is sick. Don’t let him do this. What are you trying to achieve? This is elder abuse to let him do this. He is a former president!

1. Pay heed Jr. and Eric.

In 2014, my siblings and I had a similar experience. Dad had undiagnosed dementia at age 91. It was obvious. He stopped paying his bills and refused our help when we offered to cut the checks and he refused again. He was a recording loop of whatever he heard of FOX News. He let his dog shit all over the place, including our mother's $40,000 Persian rugs. And he yelled at me when I tried to pick up the dried shit.

He shouldn't have been driving. He had a number of fender-benders. (He paid them off ironically, to avoid tickets and to be reported to the DMV.) I saw him pull out of the driveway and start driving in the wrong lane. The discussion of taking away his keys came up but we all agreed that he'd go out and buy another car.

One day, he stopped for gas. And stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. He rear-ended a van in front of him. Maybe 5+ mph. But his car had no airbag and he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. His chest hit the steering column. And he refused the ambulance. He took a taxi home as his car was totaled.

Dad tried to sell his wrecked car ASAP to get rid of "the evidence". But he died a week later. Because he refused medical attention and didn't see any of his doctors, he was undiagnosed with a partial aortic tear, meaning the aorta had somewhat separated from his heart and he was having a slow bleed into his chest.

One week after the accident, he had a terrible backache (which he didn't tell any of us about). He made an appointment with his massage therapist. And you guessed it -- the massage hastened his demise. He got home, had trouble breathing, called 911, but it was too late.

Jr. and Eric may be worried about intervention as their father might erase them from his Will. Got news for you Chumpies. Our father disinherited ALL of us. We should have tried to do more. We had the clues. But we were worried about "retribution". Little did we know, Dad already had his retribution.

3. What a story

I am sorry you had to go through all that.

Yes, they can do terribly destructive things that endanger others. It can and will get even uglier with trump.

2. They won't do anythng...inheritance issues come into play...

as their very existence depends on running trump properties.

They've done nothing on their own.

5. Am I the only one who thinks they actually want him to humiliate himself?

I have heard multiple accounts that the Trumps all hate each other. The stories about Junior being practically estranged from his father for years aren't exactly a secret. Hell, they mostly deserted him during his criminal trial. I think they have seen the writing on the wall, and are standing back and letting him go down in flames--and enjoying every second of it. I wouldn't be surprised if they were behind the "Titanic" song being played at the rally the other night. It might even be why they encouraged him to pick the worst guy possible as his running mate. They're probably enjoying the hell out of watching their old man continue to humiliate himself, they way he as done to them all their lives. This is what happens when a shitty person raises shitty kids, who he treated just as shitty as he does everyone else. They all wind up eating each other.

6. you may really have something here

Damn, why didn't I put that together? Every word of it makes sense, especially about Shady.

I was the executor of an estate where someone was losing their marbles and I know, at least for IL, how little a relative can do. You actually have to get their doctor to declare them mentally incompetent. I was only able to do so after the relative was cheated out of around half a million due to a dishonest lawyer. It was the most stressful time of my life because everytime I turned around he was getting her to write checks for the most absurd reasons.

The press is really messing up by not investigating from this angle. This could be the story of the century.

It is entirely possible that a publication like The Atlantic could do it.

Who are the bigs in estate law in FL & NY? That is who could venture an educated guess as to what is going on here.
