TFG throws Don jr. under the bus because Sean Parnell's senate campaign is in trouble.

Former President Donald Trump had in recent weeks expressed dismay at the state of Sean Parnell's Senate candidacy in Pennsylvania and blamed his son, Don Jr., for tethering him to the faltering campaign, according to a Politico report.

Parnell, an Army veteran and former congressional candidate who was highly touted by Trump's son and endorsed by the former president in September, suspended his campaign on Monday after losing a child custody battle.

A judge in Butler County, Pennsylvania, awarded Parnell's estranged wife, Laurie Snell, primary custody and sole legal custody of their three children, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Earlier this month, Snell testified under oath that Parnell choked her until she fought back to escape his wrath, while also stating that he hit their children and repeatedly hurled obscenities at her, per The Inquirer.

It seems to me sole legal custody is a bit unusual, no? Doesn't that mean he has no right to direct his kid's upbringing at all? He can't even direct medical treatment, no?

One parent is usually the primary custodial, even if it's basically even, but sole legal is unusual.

Sounds good and looks good on paper, but dig just beneath the surface and there is a monster.

Trump has such a pathological fear of being seen as weak or a loser, that he displays both traits by trying to shift blame to others for his decisions.

Don't you have the feeling that he's spent the majority of his life looking a the undercarriage of a bus?
