    DNA Test Reveals Donald Trump, Jr., Is Fifty Per Cent Idiot

    NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Donald Trump, Jr., has taken a DNA test that reveals that he is “fifty-per-cent idiot,” Trump confirmed on Tuesday.

    Speaking to reporters at a press conference in Trump Tower, Trump said that he had undergone the DNA testing “to silence all of the haters who have been saying I’m a total idiot.”

    Crowing about the test results, Trump said, “According to this test, I am fifty-per-cent idiot, which is way less than half.”

    Trump’s results drew a skeptical response from the scientific community, with many leading geneticists questioning the integrity of his DNA sample.

    According to Davis Logsdon, a genetic scientist at the University of Minnesota, “Any test of Don, Jr., that comes back lower than ninety-per-cent idiot is going to set off alarm bells, scientifically speaking.”

    Trump, Jr., first boasted about his test results on Twitter, where he misspelled “DNA.”

        Canned crab? Elizabeth Warren is unfit to lead.

        The Tribes of Israel have little to do with Native American tribes . . .
        Ahem!
        Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              WTF!...

              About Sarah O. C. Crawford


              This is the ancestor of U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren that she claims is Native American and lends her her Cherokee history. This is extremely unlikely, as this woman's husband Jonathan Crawford was a member of a militia who rounded up Cherokees and forced them into confinement to await the Trail of Tears. Sarah is most likely half Swedish and half English, Scottish, or German.
              [...]
              https://www.geni.com/people/Sarah-Cr...00017865344173

              No wonder Senator Warren's family made up the story... it is to cover up the fact that her family has been exploiting minorities since the 1830's.

              I hope she runs in 2020.

                That is definitely mock worthy.

                    How is what she did not a case of cultural appropriation? The rules are so confusing to me.

                      Not defending her at all- it's a head scratcher- but isn't it a well-worn cliche in this country to claim to be "part Cherokee?" Has she done anything other than claim some piece of blood relation? I don't think that in itself is appropriating any culture.

                        She claimed to be a native american and a "person of color" and claimed that this added to the diversity of the law school faculty.

                          I grew up being told by my mother that I was 1/32nd Cherokee--supposedly I have a 3xgreat grandmother was Mary Ottertail, a Cherokee princess, but the idea of using that as the basis for claiming minority status, or even mentioning that in any application, struck me as moronic even as a teenager.

                          Sadly, recent DNA testing doesn't show any Native American component to my genome, although I have traces of Ashkenazi Jew and West African lineage, neither of which have imbued me with any of the gifts stereotypically associated with either.

                            I blew it... I could have been given the laminate treatment at BYU if I played my native american card.

                              How about Peruvian, Colombian or Mexican DNA? If you have that, you're Cherokee!

                                Because she’s a liberal democrat
                                "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
