While trying to boast about his father, Donald Trump Jr. has appeared to accidentally make an incredibly sad confession.
Donald Trump's eldest son went on a rant at President Joe Biden after his momentous visit to Ukraine earlier this week.
Comparing the current US leader to his dad, who is making a third run for the White House, Don Jr. looked back on his childhood.
"You can't make it up. They are literally manufacturing this thing like the rest of it. Because god knows we haven't been in a never-ending war for a while," he said.
Continuing his rant, Don Jr. asked: "Remember when Trump visited Afghanistan on Thanksgiving? "I do - because I showed up for Thanksgiving dinner and my father wasn't there."
This seemingly innocuous anecdote was picked up by presenter Jimmy Kimmel, who pointed out that is was actually a rather upsetting tale.
Giggling Kimmel joked that the only person more worked up than Trump right now is his son, who he referred to as the "fraudigal son".
"I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that wasn't the first time that happened," said the Jimmy Kimmel Show host.
"I'm guessing there is a lot of Don Jr. pulling on the wishbone himself."
Kimmel then spoke about the Trumps travelling to East Palestine, Ohio, for a rally - and joked that Don Jr. "thought they were going to negotiate peace with Israel".
Trump has been making waves himself today during a visit to the town devastated by a toxic train derailment to promote his own brand of bottled water.
Following the incident, locals were told to not drink the tap water and despite later being given 'all clear' by authorities, many still have hesitations.
During the really in East Palestine, Ohio, the former-President said: "We're bringing thousands of bottles of water - Trump Water, actually.
"Most of it. Some of it we had to go to a much lesser quality of water. You want to get those Trump bottles, more than anything else."
On his way out after his speech, Trump stopped by a local McDonald's, where he passed out MAGA hats, ordered meals for first responders and picked up food for the plane ride home.
Trump, whose known favourite items are a Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, fries and a vanilla shake, came to order a "nice array" of food for himself and said his team would "get the meals for the fire department".
"Hello, everybody. What’s your speciality today?" he asked after approaching an employee at the till.
He then said: "So I know this menu better than you do. I probably know it better than anybody in here. Knock it out fast for us... we'll be eating it on the plane back."
While handing out his trademark MAGA caps to people inside, he told one member of staff they were worth three times more than the McDonald's ones they were wearing.
