President Trump’s eldest son on Thursday said that he did not buy that Christine Blasey Ford could have flown on airplane trips multiple times despite her professed fear of flying.

“I’m no psychology professor but it does seem weird to me that someone could have a selective fear of flying,” Donald Trump Jr. cracked on Twitter. “Can’t do it to testify but for vacation, well it’s not a problem at all.”

Ford, who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, initially wavered about coming to Washington, D.C. to testify about her account because of her aversion to air travel. Rachel Mitchell, the Arizona prosecutor Republicans hired to do their questioning, asked Ford at length about previous flights she’d taken.

1. I'm afraid of flying

but it's the only way to get overseas (in a timely manner) so I take a xanax and suck it up. Junior is an asshole.

2. Hey Jr! Go hunt with Eric & Cheney! Bring plenty of beer!

3. Because not allowing your perosnal issues keep your family from having a good time is a bad thing?

Go on there, Jr., with your soulless self.

4. Tons of people will see through that

I hate flying, i am scared of it but i force myself and take a valium.

A LITERAL "SON OF A BITCH."

6. no you're not, you're also not anyone we should have to listen to.

7. Avenatti smacks him down - again -

Shhhhh! The adults are working. Best that you concentrate on “hunting” big game animals in enclosures.

Btw, someday you might want to stop trying to trade on your father’s alleged “success” and start working on your own.

10. Hopefully, Mueller will put Junior into a 5-yr no-fly play -- a cell in a fed pen. nt

11. Her answer made perfect sense- testifying is terrifying, vacationing is fun

12. But it's not just testifying. It is testifying about the sexual assault.

Anything that brings that event to mind will intensify any existing PTSD.

Heck - it's triggering mine and my rape was a completely unreated event more than 4 decades ago. It's exponentially more difficult for her.
