Modern Family’s Ed O’Neill tells a jaw-dropping (yet unsurprising) story about Donald Trump
You’re probably already familiar with actor Ed O’Neill, best known for portraying Al Bundy in Married… With Children and then another iconic family patriarch, Jay Pritchett in Modern Family.
If you’re a fan of his work then this video of him discussing Donald Trump will surely make you like him even more.
It was shared by author David Pepper on Twitter/X and it really gets to the heart of the Orange Menace.
With Trump scheduled to speak tonight, let me re-introduce you to Ohio’s Ed O’Neill, who shares a perfect story about Donald Trump.
As he asks: “What kind of a man would do that?”
And then answers his own question.

It’s astonishing stuff but also, paradoxically, not really surprising.
People shared photos of the plaque…

A lot of the comments took the logical, anti-Trump stance.

Al Bundy, the voice of reason.

This is one of the best things I've ever seen on twitter. It captures perfectly the surreal absurdity of this whole situation and is a distinct wake-up call to anyone who has not been paying attention.

Can't overstate how happy I am that Ed O'Neill, one of my favorites, has turned out to be progressive.

He will lie about anything, big or small. And wants to stuff those lies down our collective throat, knowing we know it isn’t true, but we can’t do anything about it. Fascism at its purest.

Not quite correct. The battle of Blood River does, in fact, exist. The only problem is that it took place in the 1830s in South Africa (as it is now) between the waring Zulus and the Dutch settlers.

But of course, this being shared on Twitter, there were plenty of others ready to defend the indefensible, their comments presumably boosted by Elon Musk’s algorithms designed to give higher prominence to right-wing opinions.

That’s it? He was misinformed about the history of the area and tried to honor the people he thought died there? That’s pretty thin gruel there, folks.

So what does that have to do with anything? It's his golf course! He can do and say whatever he wants. Just like I can say the Japanese fought and died on the floor in my living room. Heck, I can even put a plaque on the wall stating so. Who gives a shit?

Summer Heacock shared this Theory of Trump.
All of this.
I am convinced that Trump has lied about so much, even the tiniest things, for so long, he genuinely cannot discern fact from his own fictions.
His “reality” is diametrically opposed to the actual reality the rest of us reside in. https://t.co/hySSplUMXE
