Donald Trump Jr prove you can inherit stupid
And in his incredible performance as he does so, also impugns the integrity of a great American candy. The poisonous spawn of The Great Orange Fungus attempted to demean refugees with a truly retarded idea of poisoned Skittles.
Donald Trump Jr. is facing intense backlash on social media after he posted a message on Twitter Monday night that compared Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles sprinkled with a few that “would kill you.”The official responses are the kindest, the rest of the internets were truly cruel and deservedly abusive of Shady Donny's little cock drip. At least he proved that Stupid doesn't fall far from the tree.
Mr. Trump, a top adviser in his father’s presidential campaign, appeared to suggest that the nation was faced with a blind selection process in which a few potentially poisoned pieces would be lurking among the thousands of Syrians fleeing a brutal five-year-old civil war.
The post, shared widely on Twitter, drew swift condemnation and comparisons to white supremacist memes. Social media users shared images of bombing victims in the region, including Omran Daqneesh, the bloodstained, dust-coated boy who was shown sitting in an ambulance after an airstrike and who became a symbol of the suffering in Aleppo, Syria.
The post also spurred a strong response from Wrigley, the owner of Skittles:
“Skittles are candy. Refugees are people. We don’t feel it’s an appropriate analogy. We will respectfully refrain from further commentary as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing,” the company said in an emailed statement from a spokeswoman, initially reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
It also drew criticism from a spokeswoman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, which is providing aid to Syrians.
“Syrian refugees are fellow human beings who have left their country to escape war and terrorism,” Melissa Fleming, the spokeswoman, said in an email on Tuesday. “Depictions like these are dehumanizing, demeaning and dangerous.”
