Donald Trump Jr’s unfortunate autocue mix-up was a glorious self-own

Spare a thought – kind of – for Donald Trump Jr, who took aim at Ron DeSantis but didn’t quite read the autocue properly and ended up blowing his dad’s foot off by mistake.

Have a listen to this (you surely won’t spend a more satisfying 17 seconds today).

Junior goes on a rant that is supposed to be about Desantis, but he misreads his script:

“Trump has the personality of a mortician, and the energy that makes Jeb Bush look an Olympian.” pic.twitter.com/iOdUbTQLyS

If only he’d made the mistake on Twitter Spaces, no-one would have noticed.

Con Junior finally tells the truth.

There’s no Fucking way you make a mistake like this unless your subconscious WANTS you to make a mistake like this.
