I never thought I’d find myself quoting a member of the Trump family. But Sunday’s comment by Donald Trump, Jr. — not a philosopher, scholar, diplomat, or anything of note — bears repeating for its absurdity . . . and it’s terrifying implications.

And because it is the absolute truth.

Speaking about his father’s current views on Ukraine, the younger Trump indicated that the senior Trump could well walk away from the Ukraine peace efforts. And he had this insight to share with the world:

“What’s good about my father, and what’s unique about my father, is you don’t know what he’s going to do. The fact that he’s not predictable … forces everyone to actually deal in an intellectually honest capacity.”

[Nahal Toosi, Politico, December 7, 2025.]

Now, if you’re talking about someone’s kindly old grandfather, that might be considered cute, quirky, and even endearing. But when the subject is the supposed leader of the free world . . . well, “frightening” just doesn’t cover it.

What this country and the world need is not unpredictability. We’ve had our fill of surprises. We need sane, rational, intelligent leadership. And what we have at the helm is a loose cannon.

Whether by conscious choice or mental derangement remains to be determined.
But the fact that his son and namesake thinks that’s a good thing tells me all I need to know about genetics.

Just sayin’ . . .
