You probably recall the 3 A.M. Twitter tantrum Cheeto Head Donnie Trump went on recently, saying all kinds of rude and untrue things about former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. As Hillary Clinton rightly noted, it was Trump even more “unhinged” than usual, which is really saying something.

Now we have one half of the Beavis and Buthead Trump sons rushing to his daddy’s defense, saying this during an appearance on Fox News:

“At least my father’s up at 3 o’clock in the morning, right?

“Which, you know, is great. Maybe that energy is sometimes a little bit of a downfall of his, but he’s an amazing guy, and he’ll be there to answer the call, you know, when things go bad. And, you know, I think people appreciate that.”

Actually, Junior Weasel Eric, I personally prefer that the most powerful person on the world get his or her rest since that person has to make momentous decisions on a daily basis. And I sure as hell don’t want the Commander-in-Chief taking to Twitter instead of getting some much-needed shuteye. Of course, if Donnie is indeed doing Peruvian Marching Powder as has been suggested, chances are pretty good he ain’t getting more than an hour or so of decent rest in any 24-hour period.

So, Eric, while you may have thought you were helping your douchenozzle of a father with your comments, you only added to the trepidation most Americans feel when they so much as consider Daddy Dearest in the Oval Office.

Nice try, but a total fail.
