    I hate trump and his spawn, but that’s not exactly what he said.

    The title misrepresents his words. They don’t “treat him like an imbecile”. If you watch the clip, he says:

    This’ll be like year, like nine of, ‘Hey, you know, have you ever thought to maybe have your dad not tweet that?’" he griped. "I’m like, no, I’ve never thought that 'cause I’m a freaking imbecile.

    He never said they treat him like an imbecile.

      … so the article is right? They ask him if he’s thought about stopping his dad’s tweets. He’s the one saying “no because I’m an imbecile” , but you know, that’s sarcasm, he’s putting words in their mouth - because that’s how he interprets their words. He’s saying that asking him this question is the same as treating him like an imbecile. So the article is correct that Junior says they treat him “like an imbecile” , because that’s how he interprets their attitude towards him. That’s exactly what he’s saying.

      Thanks for the context. But I can’t even tell what Jr. is trying to say with " 'cause I’m a freaking imbecile." If it was supposed to be sarcasm, it should start, “Yes, I’ve always thought that…”.

      As it is now, he’s just actually calling himself a “freaking imbecile.”

        Have you ever thought you should stop him?

        I’ve never thought that because I’m dumb! No d’uh, only a dumb person would never think about that. If you think I’ve never considered it, you’re basically calling me dumb.

        It is sarcasm.

          And that they treat him like an imbecile by asking him about it. Headline seems accurate.
