'Buckle up buttercup': Michael Avenatti tells Donald Trump Jr. to get ready for prison
Donald Trump Jr. tried to make a joke linking disgraced former Democratic politician Anthony Weiner to attorney Michael Avenatti. In response, he received a warning ― and a challenge ― from Stormy Daniels’ attorney.
The Twitter feud kicked off when the eldest son of President Donald Trump shared a message about Weiner’s upcoming early release from prison, then cracked:
Who else is excited about Avanetti/Weiner 2020?!?
It’s gonna be Carlos Dangerous. https://t.co/yLWO1D2rwx— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) October 8, 2018
Avenatti fired back:
Bif: If I were you, the last thing I would be doing is referencing other people getting out of federal prison. Because after you are indicted, you will likely be passing them on your way in. BTW, they don’t have silver spoons or gold toilets in the joint. Buckle up Buttercup. https://t.co/jnDq4weHZh

Later, for good measure, Avenatti challenged both the president and his son to an MMA fight for charity.
This would be for two great causes. I’m in. https://t.co/zo46yhsXCi

My portion of the proceeds from the fight will be split 50% to rebuilding Puerto Rico and 50% to @RAINN. Just waiting on Bif to confirm. #Basta

When someone asked if they would be using protective headgear in the theoretical matchup, Avenatti replied:
You’re kidding right? Answer - NO.

The Trumps have not responded to the challenge.
