The whole article is unnecessary trash.

… so the article is right? They ask him if he’s thought about stopping his dad’s tweets. He’s the one saying “no because I’m an imbecile” , but you know, that’s sarcasm, he’s putting words in their mouth - because that’s how he interprets their words. He’s saying that asking him this question is the same as treating him like an imbecile. So the article is correct that Junior says they treat him “like an imbecile” , because that’s how he interprets their attitude towards him. That’s exactly what he’s saying.

Thanks for the context. But I can’t even tell what Jr. is trying to say with " 'cause I’m a freaking imbecile." If it was supposed to be sarcasm, it should start, “Yes, I’ve always thought that…”.

As it is now, he’s just actually calling himself a “freaking imbecile.”
