"It's nothing personal, just business... Okay, maybe a little personal"
February 14, 2017
NEW YORK (AFA NewsWire) Citing their father's presidential campaign as Exhibit A, the grown children of Donald J. Trump have filed suit in New York State Supreme Court to have him forcibly barred from further involvement in the family business and, so far as possible, the family.
The brief presented by Donald Jr. and Eric Trump calls for removing the senior Trump from ". . . any position(s) of responsibility in all companies, corporations, partnerships or entities bearing the name "Trump". Daughters Ivanka and Tiffany are listed as Amici Curiae on behalf of the plaintiffs; son Barron is still a minor and not involved in the suit.
The real estate mogul spent the month after his humiliating presidential campaign loss refusing to concede defeat, calling for armed insurrection and threatening to sue the Electoral College and everyone who'd ever graduated from it. Since President Clinton's inauguration, he has been wandering through Central Park in his bathrobe, wearing Kleenex boxes for shoes and shouting at birds.
"It's one thing to promote assassination, incite mob violence and spout batshit crazy nonsense while running for office —that's just politics," said Donald J. Trump, Jr., "But now he's endangering the trademarked "Trump" brand name. Even Russian investors have stopped returning our calls."
The brothers Trump are so confident about their chances in court they are presenting their case without an attorney, relying instead on forms downloaded from LegalZoom.com.
"If Dad was in his right mind," said Donald Jr., "I think he'd be proud of us about this, I mean, it's nothing personal, just business," adding after a moment's reflection, "Okay, maybe a little personal."
