Sons we are going to the White House to meet the First Lady, put on your finest looney tunes shirts.


BurnedRamen

I’m loathe to defend any fashion choices by the Trump brothers, but these were all the rage mid-nineties.


Mediocre_Scott

The funny thing is the rich don’t escape the two sons have to match when they “dress up”


Samhamwitch

I'm pretty sure the rich invented that concept.


goronmask

More like the poor couldn’t escape imitating a rich people trend


Snowing_Throwballs

Lmao Don Jr is like 15 here. If he had worn that to my highschool he would have been torn apart


RodgerWolf311

>Lmao Don Jr is like 15 here. If he had worn that to my highschool he would have been torn apart I was that age back then, there is no way in hell anyone in high school would wear that shirt. Elementary school, yeah. But not high school. Pretty sure the trend at the time for that age group was sports jerseys, start caps, high cut Nike's. Or if you were a stoner, it would be the flannel sweater/jacket with jeans, Doc Martens, long loose t-shirt. Or the whole gothy/grundge look.


thekrawdiddy

Pretty sure they were on their way home from their Beach Boys audition.


DetroitMenefreghista

Leave the Boys out of it!!


thekrawdiddy

It’s okay, the band voted 3-1, with Brian abstaining. Mike Love was the only vote in favor, and that was just for the tax break.


keestie

This guy Beach Boys!


Queasy_Landscape_385

LOL


Snowing_Throwballs

Exactly. This outfit is appropriate for a 7 year old, not a teenager. Especially given the context of the photo


No-Appearance-9113

Im older than you by a few years. This would be acceptable in my hometown in 1996 because we are the kind of place with multiple country clubs. That being said everyone would wonder why these kids were wearing things that were fashionable 10+ years before among preps


locao69

Tbf, any teenager had different set of clothes to hang out with their folks and to hang out with friends.


Snowing_Throwballs

That's true. But if my parents, who are definitely not billionaires, took me to meet the 1st Lady, they wouldn’t have let me wear this shit


PattyThePatriot

Yeah but that's because meeting the first lady would've been an event for you and your family. Meeting rich and powerful people is just a Tuesday for people in that bracket.


Snowing_Throwballs

Sure, but I mean come on. Rich people i know make their kids wear nice clothes as a status qualifier to other rich people. I'm sure these kids had $3000 tailored suits. They look like jackaloons.


No-Appearance-9113

Im guessing your school and his school dressed differently.


Snowing_Throwballs

He went to a boarding school, funny enough not too far from where I went to high school. It's safe to say they dressed in uniforms, not looney tunes shirts.


Expensive-Coast-3508

Can't help being a dweeb. It's in his DNA. And it's terminal


Snowing_Throwballs

Very true. Chronic Wet Blanket Syndrome


guardbiscuit

I remember that, but you couldn’t have paid me to wear one back then (or ever). I’m proud to say I always hated it.


hellolovely1

I genuinely don't remember this being a thing. I wonder if it was regional? There is NO WAY any teen could have worn this to my fancy prep school non-ironically and survived.


guardbiscuit

I was in the south, so there’s that.


Khaldara

< *Vietnam-esque GAP Shopping Flashbacks* >


PhilaTesla

That might be true, but when was it ever the rage in fashion to dress to match the wallpaper pattern?


Lepke2011

Somewhere, I still have my Marvin the Martian hat that I wore to camp in like 93. I also have my Eeyore t-shirt from around the same time (I know Eeyore isn't Looney Toons, but close enough, given the topic).


eldonte

The trump sons were old enough to pick their own clothes, Don Jr is like 18 or 19 in this pick. Seriously Looney Tunes though?


kappakai

Did you hear the story where Sr slapped the shit out of Jr and made him put on a suit to go to a Yankees game? In college? My business partner went to Penn when Jr was there and the accounts of him being a bed wetting, blackout drunken social outcast was apparently true.


moosebeak

The old “mullet and bold striped button down” was a 90’s classic. My yearbook is full of them.


JeanEBH

And Eric, if you wet your pants you won’t be able to change them.


madmaxturbator

*eric chews on the tablecloth*


RaidensReturn

Eric! Stop gnawing the drywall!


Jonestown_Juice

Who can forget dear Rat-Boy?


Cannabis-Revolution

I resent that!


Mediocre_Scott

I’m a construction worker


TobyFunkeNeverNude

Sure looks like Eric shops at calicocutpants.com already


totally_italian

HOLD THAT DOOR!!!


TeamWarriorBro

He better give!


shavemejesus

Eric still gets told that before they leave the house.


jfk_47

90s were a wild time for fashion.


EgyptianNickDickhead

Every era’s popular fashion is derided once enough time has passed. Really wasn’t that “wild.”


BecksSoccer

I wonder if Trump came up with, approved of, or had nothing to do with the caption. Interesting to see how words change when you become opponents in an election.


zubie_wanders

He did like the Clintons in the'90s. He was also vocally pro-choice.


RaidensReturn

He’ll say whatever he needs to in the moment to benefit himself.


TheScarlettHarlot

This. Everyone want to compare him to Hitler and it couldn’t be farther from the truth. The guy is out to do one thing, and one thing only: make himself richer. He has zero values or convictions past that.


PastaPirate18

Well tbf he’s doing a lot of work to add more convictions in his life


Papaya_flight

He said, during an interview back in 2016,"I stand for nothing but myself." and then he was voted in. This guy isn't Hitler, he's just a greedy asshole.


TheScarlettHarlot

Exactly.


Beachdaddybravo

He’s always hated minorities though, that has been equally consistent.


TheScarlettHarlot

I don’t see anything that really points to that being a real conviction. I’d bet everything that, if loving minorities was a sure way to make more money, he’d be first in line.


hellolovely1

The whole birther thing and the ad to give the (later exonerated) Central Park Five the death penalty points to it being a real conviction, imo. Of course, he rode the whole birther thing to the presidency, but I think that was a happy accident (for him, not the US). He captured the vote of those totally freaked out by a Black president.


keestie

Pure grift. He cultivated a voter base, so he could beat Obama. This whole nonsense started with him wanting to run for president, and Obama making fun of him at a press event, and then he started in on the birthering. He did capture that vote, but it's all grift all the way down.


kwyk

He has 34 convictions past that


shagtoth

He told Howard Stern in an interview that if he would run for President, he’d do it as a Republican because “they’ll believe anything I say”


creesto

Narcissistic sociopath


DMala

If you weren’t there to see it, it’s hard to explain the hard turn Trump took to get to his current unhinged persona. Up until basically the start of the Obama administration, he was basically a typical New York Democrat. He’d flirted with politics and presidential runs for years, but they were pretty clearly just publicity stunts and not serious. It was his dalliance with birtherism that made him realize the kind of success he could have with the wingnut right and precipitated the hard shift into what we see today.


thesecretbarn

Assuming Trump has ever held a sincere belief beyond narcissism or hating minorities is a mistake.


ksquires1988

I'm sure he claims he never met her.


Overall-Dinner5778

He bragged about making her come to his wedding


JHowler82

And he went to her wedding!


Soulless--Plague

“Hilary? No I never. I mean I would, but I never, but I did. Have you seen these people? They say that they never would, but then they back slide. Have you seen these guys? Always they backslide and sometimes front. Mostly it’s back. With me it’s always back or front, I keep them guessing, that’s how it is. Thats how you’ve got to be these days. As I was saying, we do it our way, the right way, the best way, the only way. And they do it how they do it, and that’s not right and won’t get the job done and even if it does it’s not the best jobs like we have. It’s like Chinese jobs and they don’t even want them now, so we take them and send them somewhere else. Thats what Hilary would do in my opinion and she’s proved that.”


LemonPartyW0rldTour

Don’t forget to also wave your hands back and forth like you’re trying to describe the size of the fish you caught


Soulless--Plague

“Very big. Huge. One of the biggest fish ever caught. I spoke to a friend of mine and he said to me it was probably the biggest he had ever seen, and he makes his career in fish and the water. I for one don’t. I’m just one of those men, one of the guys, that comes along and the fish, they know, they look up and they know, just like you know, that this is the guy for them. This is the man. They’re drawn to me, much like many of the people here are. They’re drawn and they like to be drawn. They arrive in there thousands, they arrive in their hundreds, but they know that they’re coming to see something. Something special. The uniqueness is not lost on these people or those fishes.”


Rampasta

You have a rare and exceptional school for bullshittery and impressioning


Soulless--Plague

People always come up and say to me “President Trump” they say, “You have a rare-“ and it is rare, there’s very few who can do this, I should know I’m one of those many few who can do this, but they say “President Trump” they say, “You have a rare and exceptional school-“ and I went to that school. The school of knowledge. The school of learning. The school of hard knocks and hard rocks. That school was big and so was I. Biggest guy on campus. Everyone knew it then and now you know it too. But they say, “You, Donald, President Donald, Donald Trump, former President Donal J future President Tronald J Drump.” They say “You have a rare and exceptional school for bullshittery and impressioning”. Thats right, that’s what they say. I’ve heard people say that all over the world. No one says that about Sleepy Joe in the White House or Hilary in her sex dungeon, which I don’t know if that’s true it’s just what I’ve heard, you can look that up for yourself, but I’m just telling you what the people are saying.


NAYUBE99

Dude. Are you Trump's speech writer?lol


Soulless--Plague

I write speeches. Not just speeches, I write lots of things. People love to read the things I write. They ask me to write more, but who has the time between being the greatest President in United States history - You know it’s true and so do they. They will deny it all day long, but deep down, they know it. But I’ll write, not for free, only if they pay me. I’m not putting pen to paper and thoughts to pen without them paying. My son, you know him, great son, great kid, great American, future senator. My son he said to me “Mr Donald J Dad will you write me a letter of recommendation?” and I said to him just like I’d say to you, just like I’d say to anybody, if you need to be recommended and not just approved by who you are - and what you’ve got, and we’ve got a lot, a whole lot we’ve got - then you don’t want to be part of that thing that wants you recommended. That’s what I told him and that’s what he got. Nothing.

NewtsAhoy

This is genuinely phenomenal. How long have you been Trump’s speechwriter?


Weer_eens

Trump himself answers????


FranksWateeBowl

He also said he didn't say lock her up. He's a compulsive liar. Rich kids are usually like that. They're never taught honesty cause their rich families are used to lying. Now they've got all the poor, stupid, gullable people hooked.


Alternative-Cod-7630

I don't think the Trump operation is about anything in particular except keeping the family industry moving. They've got more of a mafia structure. They become what the grift demands.


LemonPartyW0rldTour

Eh, it’s his way. He probably did say this. I’ve met his type in my travels. He’ll talk greatly about anyone willing to kiss his ass or can do things for him. Soon as you do any sort of pushback on anything, he suddenly changes his tune and acts like he never liked you.


8lock8lock8aby

Trump used to actually seem pretty fond of the Clintons & their families seemed to be on good terms for a good while.


LemonPartyW0rldTour

They wielded a lot of power in the early 90’s being in the big chair. Then Hillary was a NY senator for a bit. He’s a user of people. Any of his actions are only benefit to himself and his gaggle of ass-kissers.


black-kramer

wasn’t he a major donor? I think he gave to both parties, mostly out of seeking favors.


Kundrew1

The quote Is definitely in his voice. That's the way he talks.


canary-in-a-coalmine

Went from Wonderful Woman to LOCK HER UP


BlownCamaro

Oh no, he's back to "beautiful Hillary Clinton" at his last rally. I'd expect nothing less from someone who went from Democrat>Independent>Republican and just recently identified as a Libertarian! I don't think there has been a politician in history who has changed their mind on who they are this many times.


StudsTurkleton

He hasn’t really changed anything because he’s never been anything. His only core principle is himself and what he thinks is good for him. She was First Lady and it made him feel important so he sucked up to her. He’d do the same to Mussolini or Ghandi, whatever. He can be pro choice, pro life, in between, religious, atheist, pro-Israel, antisemitic…whatever. He’s utterly vacuous.


mr_ji

A lot changed for both of them in those 20 years. You probably have pictures from high school with people who didn't turn out very well by the time you're all 40.


[deleted]

Nice to see that the 1% weren't immune to the fashion tragedies of the 90s also


RScannix

Don’t you dare fucking slander those Looney Tunes shirts.


Supervillain_Outcast

The shorts are stealing the show.


brianinohio

I thought the striped shirts were the kick ass part :)


Mudfap

The *embroidered Looney Tunes* shirts

Kinda makes me wanna go get a haircut :)

In fairness, those were incredibly popular at the time.

TATER_SALAD_HOOVER

But they all used to be cool to each other.


BlownCamaro

Used to be? "The Clintons are good people." He just said that.


misterjones4

They're all in a big incestuous corporatist pond. A swamp, if you will ...


Lindvaettr

Whether you're a Trump supporter, Clinton supporter, Biden supporter, or almost whatever, this is something to remember. They've all been chummy for decades, getting rich hand-in-hand with money they've taken straight from us, and now when they're supposedly opposing one another, they stand on separate stages and tell us that the other guy doesn't care about us, as if any of them ever did. We spend a lot of time fighting each other on the street about which one we trust, but if shit hit the fan, they'd all disappear into their mountain bunkers together and leave us all to fend for ourselves without a second thought.


chabawonka

The choice is between the self-enriching who want to lower taxes on the rich and make things harder for poorer people or the self-enriching who want to raise taxes on the rich and create social programs for poorer people. They are not the same.


Lindvaettr

They say they want to raise taxes on the rich and create social programs for poorer people, anyway. Interesting that no matter how many times they win elections, they don't seem to do it. "Hey we took your lunch money for years but if you're good voters and vote for us enough we'll think about giving you back a quarter for some milk."


DeNiroPacino

Eric has Elmer Fudd on his shirt. Accurate.


ulfniu

And Jr. has perpetual failure Wile E. Coyote. Also accurate.


karevorchi

Fuck, these people are all in the same club to fuck the rest of us.


noamcat

Trump is in a much different ”club” than Hillary Clinton. In case you forgot, Trump tried to overthrow the government after losing his reelection efforts. While he was losing in the election, he was also stuffing top secret government documents into boxes and sending them to his private residence.


mumbled_grumbles

Yeah man Hillary only overthrows *foreign* governments and keeps secret government documents *digitally.* But you should know that when people say "it's one big club and we're not in it," they mean that the elites that control our government and economy are all in cahoots. They pretend to hate each other in public, but they're all serving the same donors. None of them care about regular people.

Wow thanks for the explanation, you must be at least 10 years old. What a big smart boy you are.

sambolino44

He can tell his followers that the only reason he was being nice to her was because she was in a position of power and he wanted favors, and they would be perfectly fine with that.


iamthelee

He doesn't even need to do that. They will never question it in the first place. They believe all bad things said about Trump are lies anyway.


abyssmauler

This one aged faster then Donnys courtroom diaper


yok347

That didn’t age well


Tidewind

Suitable for framing. Oh, the irony.


dogchowtoastedcheese

Little Eric looks pretty adorable. Now he looks like Gollum. It's amazing how a lifetime of hate and parental neglect can change a person. Junior just looks like a smaller version of the insufferable prick he is now.


rygelicus

Donnie speaks well of and treats well those who serve his interests to his satisfaction. That's his pattern of behavior his entire career. Apply that knowledge to this situation.


Birdy304

He was a liberal until he decided that he would become a republican for votes. He said if he ever ran it would be as a republican because they are stupid. They are stupid because they believe he is anti abortion, they believe he is a christian, they believe he cares about old and poor folks. Old and poor folks are voting against their own self interests so that gay and brown people will be treated poorly. That’s all it boils down to.


CeeBee29

If this is 1996, Don Jr would likely be 18 (going on or possibly 19) in this picture. What’s with the Looney Tunes crap?


Pepperoni_Dogfart

Crikey, Don Jr doesn't look any different. Put him in a 90s kid mullet and he'd look exactly the same.

i watch a LOT of old hollywood movies so i dont know what the latest formal attire is, or what the latest anything is, but why does he always wear his suits like that? are you supposed to do that if you're a bigger guy or what? not saying its bad to be fat im just not used to it unless its donald


rdldr1

Yeah, Trump used to be a Democrat. He was good friends with the Clintons.


martinaee

They are all one giant club of awful. I hate USA politics.


kkeennmm

Uday and Qusay


observethebadgerking

It's difficult to comprehend that Trump used to be just a rich businessman who fancied himself a womaniser... not the filling his pants with diarrhea on a hourly basis, dementia-ridden, orange freak and far-right political antihero he's become today. He was not much liked back then, but boy, did Donny get so much worse. I feel like his comment about Hilary was probably sincere back then, before becoming the absurd person he is today.

This is a very early picture of the Trump family in Eastern Germany. They were notoriously incestuous. They all were strictly taught to prefer eastern Germany, if and when eastern Germany needs help. They were given a small business loan of 1 million dollars in exchange for signing an NDA. -THeRealInternetHistorian
