What Is ‘Failson’ Culture? Look No Further Than the Family Trump for the Answer

What’s a failson (pronounced exactly like it looks, just a combination of “fail” and “son”)? He is an upper- (or upper-middle) class incompetent who is protected by familial wealth from the consequences of his actions. The term seems to have been coined by one Will Menaker of the podcast Chapo Trap House, as documented in The New Yorker in this 2016 article.

One is not born a failson. Nor does one simply inherit the status of failson. No—failson status is earned through a display of equal parts incompetence, stupidity, and arrogance. And until his book, no person in America—or maybe even the world, so bursting at the seams with louche heirs and dissolute royals with no throne to sit their pampered arses on—illustrated all the facets of a failson better than Junior.

In the case of Junior, being paranoid and a liar are other characteristics of failson he so adeptly defines. Such as with his new book.

The New York Times denotes such bulk sales with an asterisk to let readers know that the sales were not organic. Junior, never one to be deterred by facts, immediately declared that this was part of a larger Times conspiracy against him. “I guess that’s their way of exerting a little bit of revenge by putting an asterisk without getting into the details,” he sniffed.

Another interesting failson protection that Junior enjoys is a free pass on all his alleged crimes. He was deemed in essence too stupid to collude by Robert Mueller. Harry Sandick, a former federal prosecutor, told Bloomberg News, “For a willful violation, you must know that what you are doing violates some known legal duty.” Since Junior didn’t understand the law, he was given a pass on knowingly breaking it.

But Junior is not alone in his failson status. Never in American history have we had an administration so chockablock full of failsons. The Trump administration boasts a panoply of failsons unrivaled since the days of King George.

Jared Kushner is the failson in chief, arguably worse than Junior. After crushing a newspaper and overpaying for the aptly named 666 Fifth Avenue, the failson-in-law decided to take a crack at governmenting. He was tasked with peace in the Middle East and also renegotiating NAFTA, handling the opioid crisis, modernizing the Veterans Administration, spearheading criminal justice reform, and WhatsApp messaging with Saudi Arabian failson Mohammed bin Salman.

But when those things proved too complicated for the young polymath, his father-in-law decided to refocus him on the important things, like why Matt Drudge was mad at him, tasking Ivanka’s husband to “look into it” and find out why Drudge has forsaken him. More recently, Jared was asked by his father-in-law to take another crack at building the wall.

But Jared is just one of many White House failsons. Eric Trump is, of course, another. Not as notorious as his dimwitted siblings, Eric is the one of the Trump litter who seems the most interested in running the family’s mediocre hotel business. Though Eric always enjoys doing a segment on Fox News, where he dishes out really hot takes like his assessment that “Democrats weren’t even people.” Eric is also extremely bad at Twitter. On Thanksgiving Day, he tweeted a picture of a red hat emblazoned with the acronym LOPA for “Leave Our President Alone,” which caused the internet to erupt in mockery of the young Hapsburg.

Finally, the president’s free lawyer has a failson, Andrew, who works for the administration earning $90,000 a year. His chief responsibility seem to be largely “having a nice time.” But lest you think this is a nepotism hire, Rudy assured The Atlantic’s Elaina Plott, “Now, did he know him in the first place because he was the mayor’s son? Sure, but they also had a relationship independent of me.” That relationship, according to a source who knows about it, includes many rounds of golf over the years. Golf is something Andrew’s actually good at, but it doesn’t mean he belongs in the White House.

The Trump administration has even become a safe harbor for the failsons of outsiders: Trump humper Hugh Hewitt’s failson James is comfortably ensconced in the State Department after serving as press secretary for fossil-fuel enthusiast and noted apartment h****r Scott Pruitt. You may remember this story because Hugh got in trouble for defending his son’s boss on TV without disclosing the relationship.

Why do failsons do so well in the Trump administration? For one thing, the administration doesn’t actually do much, so in that way it sticks to the core values of failsonishness. But mainly, the failson administration is headed by the most failsonish president ever. Donald Trump is the definition of a failson, an incompetent continually saved from himself by his wealthy father. He inherited nearly $500 million from his pop, all the while claiming he was completely self-made. After his father died, Trump found other patrons, and he now enjoys the largesse of the lobbyists, and various foreign rogues like Vladimir Putin and Julian Assange, who helped put him in the White House.

The failson Trump administration is the best advertisement for raising sky-high estate taxes and crushing the culture of failsons for one and all. After all, why should failsons be a protected species like the California condor or the giant sea bass? Let them go the way of the rotary phone and the telegram, let them fade into the footnotes of history, a capitalist punchline.

Of course you will deflect from the thread without responding to its points. H****r B***n took extravagant advantage of his father's name, another failson. That fact does not clear Junior.

You dare accuse MOI of not responding to so called " facts " ? I am the one person on OPP who does respond to facts. I am the one person on OPP who has bent over backards to discuss facts. It is just that I almost never get any takers, at least not liberal takers, when I offer to go toe to toe, one on one with you Progressives. Since you called me out:

" Another interesting failson protection that Junior enjoys is a free pass on all his alleged crimes. He was deemed in essence too stupid to collude by Robert Mueller.

"

So correct me if I am wrong, but you are actually making the case that because " Junior " was found to be innocent by Mueller, that means he is too stupid to be guilty ? His innocence proves he is too stupid to be guilty ? Damned if you are guilty and damned if you are innocent. Damn !

First, you did not respond to facts. Sorry, just a fact. This is not a response to the topic but a partisan deflection: "An amazing amount of hogwash. This must be a non story written to balance out the H****r B***n Hogtashtophy. And young Biden was quite a Hog in Ukraine."

The topic is "failson," the description is "One is not born a failson. Nor does one simply inherit the status of failson. No—failson status is earned through a display of equal parts incompetence, stupidity, and arrogance. And until his book, no person in America—or maybe even the world, so bursting at the seams with louche heirs and dissolute royals with no throne to sit their pampered arses on—illustrated all the facets of a failson better than Junior." Stupidity, as noted, is one of the characteristics. So, yes, the fact that he "was found to be innocent by Mueller, because he is too stupid to be guilty" makes him a failson. Follow the topic.

But I am responding to the topic. I just believe that this piece is very thin on making the case of proving that the Trump younger generation qualify as " Failson ". The "facts " listed are more of a matter of Opinion than clearly delineated facts.

Whereas H****r B***n is the Poster Boy for " Failson ". His failures are clear and spectacular.

If a novelist was writing a book on " Failson " he would undoubtedly want to write it about H****r B***n and leave the Trump kids out.

Responding to a topic you obviously disagree with means proving it wrong. I respect your opinion on the topic but a true response is to engage the points of that topic and present a rebuttal, if you disagree.

To give a true rebuttal I would require more to work with. There just is not much there to refute. You basically presented an opinion piece backed up with opinions as fact. The easiest way to refute such a piece is to do what I wrote. Namely present a more suitable example of a " Failson ", H****r B***n. I also gave the most likely reason for the original writing of the piece, which coincidentally is exactly the same H****r B***n. Pieces such as what you posted do not appear out of thin air. There was a reason for the writing. Namely the black eye Joe Biden got because of his son's deeds. So what better way to respond than to produce a piece bashing Trump's kin.

I appreciate your respect. Surprised, but appreciative.

Just for one thing you could try vainly to refute is Junior's claim that the NYT, by a standard asterisk for any documented bulk sales, which is a proven fact, but Junior, never one to be deterred by facts, immediately declared that this was part of a larger Times conspiracy against him. “I guess that’s their way of exerting a little bit of revenge by putting an asterisk without getting into the details,” he sniffed. That is an out and out lie.

I just do not think that worrying about bulk sales of a book is all that big of an issue. Apparently to you it is. I apologize for not attaching the importance to it that you do. To use that to call the younger Trump a " Failson " when compared to the big things that Joe Biden's son accomplished in his short life seems an exercise in trivia.
