Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, drew a wave of online ridicule after complaining that Democrats want to make Ohio a state.

Trump Jr. made the remark Monday while actually in the Buckeye State to campaign for Republican candidates.

“They want to, what is it? Save democracy by destroying democracy,” Trump Jr. said of Democrats. “They wanna pack the Supreme Court. They wanna make Ohio a state, make D.C. a state, have permanent one-party rule.”

    With the headline I assumed he fumbled a line about making Ohio a competitive state, but nope, it’s about actual statehood. And the territory that would fit there, Puerto Rico, is nothing like Ohio.

    People can jumble terms in the same category, but it’s still a pretty laughable mistake. Probably should use a teleprompter if you’re not well practiced at public speaking.

      His pedophile father still fumbles with a teleprompter and then blames the entire country in which the teleprompter is setup, even though HIS own handlers set it up and control it. So, it runs in the family…
