Donald Trump Jr. has long been suspected. of political ambitions, but don’t seem to understand the basic rule of foreign policy: it’s not a good idea to bomb your allies.
The eldest son of former President Donald Trump revealed his ignorance on Friday when he tried to defend his father against statements by former Defense Secretary Mark Esper.
In memories in a future preview of The New York Times Thursday, Esper said Trump twice asked him if he could fire missiles at the United States in Mexico to destroy cartel -led drug laboratories in a covert operation. of the military.
“No one knows we have that,” Trump said after Esper protested, according to the quote.
Although Trump’s plan was an act of U.S. war, his son didn’t seem to understand this fairly obvious concept when he asked if the drug cartel bombing was a “likely thing?”
Still trying to understand the recent media outrage that my dad might want to target the Mexican drug cartel’s manufacturing facilities in Mexico… is that bad ???

Various Twitter users felt compelled to learn from young Trump because his father’s proposal was a bad, bad, bad idea.
The former president’s son was confused what was wrong with the U.S. firing missiles at a neighboring country and then hid the attack. https://t.co/nKogQJMGaZ

When the military fires missiles at another sovereign country, it is referred to as an act of war. And, according to Raytheon, the Patriot missile is a surface-to-air missile. Wrong choice for a cartel strike.https: //t.co/sk7TXCWoJC https://t.co/2RtLMNSpcY

However, at least one person (jokingly) agreed with the offspring.
That’s right Junior, we need to move the cartel’s drug manufacturing business to the United States for Americans to do. https://t.co/B7ga7pkBIc
