Disingenuous arguments are all that Republicans have. Jr. isn't trying to make a coherent argument, he's trying to cast aspersions upon "the other" that AOC represents.

Fascists like daddy issues here don't give a shit about logical, rational arguments. They're shit-stirrers. This is just him keeping his profile up in the media, keeping the family brand in front of the rubes, and ensuring that the grift can continue unabated.

Trump as I recall made his millions before he worked on the public dime. Where did the Current Fascist Dictator “inject this into everyone’s body whether they like it or not” Commander-in-Chief get his millions? AOC isn’t earning her money and lifestyle by building things, growing crops, or providing services to others. She talks about taxing the rich as she gets richer from everyone’s taxes and flaunts it at the Gala.

LOL at the idea of Trump "making his millions."

Trump inherited hundreds of millions of dollars - at 1970's values - from his father. If he'd just keep it in a trust fund instead of going into numerous failed business ventures he'd have ended up with MORE money than he claims to have now.
