Kids. Whaddaya gonna do with them?
That’s probably been voiced in a lot of households, especially at the rambunctious ages of 2 or 3, often during the teenage years, and sometimes as offspring are launched — or fail to launch — into adulthood.
The household of former President Donald Trump may also have heard that lament.
Like when Donald Trump Jr., after graduating from college, decided he wanted to go do his own thing and have a good time.
Dad refused to support him financially.

Don Jr. described that time of his life on his “Triggered” podcast with guest Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene as they discussed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her background as a bartender.
The younger Trump tended bar, too.
“I did it myself,” he declared. “I moved to Colorado after I graduated from the Wharton School of Finance to get some stuff out of my system.”
Was Trump right to cut off funds to his son?

“That was an amazing conversation with my father, by the way,” Trump said, laughing.
“Oh, it was brutal,” he continued, recalling his father’s reaction: “You went to Wharton. When are you starting to work?”
“I was cut off,” the younger Trump said. “The only thing that they didn’t cut off — ‘cause they forgot — was my gas card. So I had a car and a gas card, and so I’m the guy that lived off gas station sushi for like a year.”
While Trump’s reference to his younger days was a sidebar in his conversation with Greene, it was an insight into the senior Trump’s role as a father.
Three marriages may not qualify the former president as a model of good family values, but refusing to finance his son’s desire to goof off reflects well on his instincts as a father.
That is how it should be done. After all, who says we get to just take off and go play?
