Trump Jr. Burns Anthony Weiner for Bragging He Could Beat Him in Mayoral Race

You thought Trump vs. Clinton was unbearable? What if I told you the people of New York could be so lucky as to get Trump vs. Weiner?

Okay, probably not, but let’s face it: the very thought of that made you throw up a little.

Donald Trump Jr. has suggested he could mount a New York mayoral campaign next year, even if his father dismissed the idea last night.

Anthony Weiner––who ran for mayor last time until, well, you know––was asked about the prospect of a Trump Jr. mayoral candidacy. This was how he answered:

And then Trump Jr. went there:

Too soon Anthony!!! You probably shouldn't be talking about beating anything ever again. Go back to your cave. https://t.co/Mingecu6o9

Would fate be cruel enough to really let a race between them happen?
