When it comes to inspiring controversies this week, Donald Trump Jr. is the gift that keeps on giving. First there were the emails stating that junior would "love" to meet with a Russian government lawyer about incriminating Hillary Clinton info. Then there was the hidden nugget that, wow, those emails contain truly the worst email signature ever. 。
