Donald Trump Junior – the namesake eldest son of the former president of the United States – implied in an angry video rant posted to his Rumble channel on Thursday afternoon that employees of The Washington Post who are upset about publisher Fred Ryan's layoffs next year are spoiled brats whose only life experience is mooching off of their parents.

CNN Senior Media Reporter Oliver Darcy noted on Thursday morning that "the staffers at The Post, who were already seeking answers over the way their colleagues who worked on the now-canceled Sunday magazine were summarily let go late last month, were aghast at the way Ryan conducted himself in the town hall, they told me. 'He does this whole dog and pony show about how things are going great and then drops at the end that he’s going to cut the workforce — and then he refuses to take questions,' one staffer told me."

But that is not what Junior – who like his father and other right-wing characters has a history of demonizing the press and spreading propaganda – would have his viewers believe.

Instead, Junior insisted that the Post's disillusioned workforce is proclaiming entitlement to dignity that they do not deserve and have not earned:

Uh, it's like their parents finally dropped them from the cell phone plan or dropped them from their insurance, and now they gotta function in the big person world for the first time ever. It's actually hilarious how they react to any challenge, any adversity, and it's actually really scary for the future of our country because I imagine a lot of this aligns up with that next generation.

Junior – the presumptive heir to whatever will remain of the criminally convicted family business – unironically accused the Post's employees of being ignorant about how the "real world" works:

None of these kids these days or these young 'aspiring journalists' or whatever, they've never functioned in the real world and they live in some sort of fake utopia.

He then alleged without citing any examples:

So the parents of these 'journalists' going to start calling into 'The Washington Post' to complain because their child didn't get a participation medal – they run a paper into the ground with their woke nonsense, and now we get to hear about their pouty, whiny voices. I mean, it sounds like a high school right now. People aren't getting their way so they're gonna complain. And, guess what folks, like, welcome to the real world.
