The boy in the big glass tower

A thread written by @SMBWhitney: ""February 25, 2001 Donald Trump Jr., was  arrested in New Orleans on a charge of “public intoxication.” […]"

Uhm:

[A]ccording to Vanity Fair senior reporter Emily Jane Fox’s new book, Born Trump, the president’s eldest son was once known by a lesser-known moniker, bestowed on him during his college years: “Diaper Don.”

While an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania, Trump Jr. reportedly earned a reputation around campus for his rowdy, inebriated habits — notably, passing out in his classmates’ rooms, and wetting their beds.

“Diaper Don would wake up in some stranger’s dorm room or off-campus apartment or bedroom in his frat house, covered in piss, walk back to his own room, and get blitzed that evening or the next anew,” Fox writes.

The young Trump’s rambunctious reputation only intensified on a spring break trip to Jamaica amid March Madness frenzy, Fox writes. Drunk and bitter over a basketball loss to Florida State, Trump Jr. stood up on a table and chanted to Florida students, “That’s all right! That’s okay! You’re gonna work for us someday.”

“These were kids from state school,” one Penn student at the bar that day recalled to Fox. “The subtext wasn’t hard for anyone to figure out.”

Junior pretty much admitted it himself in his recent wingnut welfare book Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us:

“Once I got going, it wasn’t easy to stop me – which, when you’re in college, isn’t a huge problem, as long as you’re getting your work done,” Trump, Jr. wrote. “But once I started thinking about a career and a life beyond school, it was. To be honest, I didn’t know how to drink in moderation.”

I would say that he has some nerve” but really that goes without saying. His name is Trump.
