Dunce ?
A Planned Parenthood branch in Pennsylvania sparked controversy after it called for Disney to create a wider range of princesses last Tuesday. In a since-deleted tweet, the health service provider stated: We need a Disney princess whos had an abortion / We need a Disney princess whos pro-choice / We need a Disney princess whos an undocumented immigrant / We need a Disney princess whos actually a union worker / We need a Disney princess whos trans.
The tweet was a completely tone-deaf spin on a meme which imagined Disney Princesses with particular inclusive traits, some in jest, some not. Planned Parenthood deleted it soon afterwards.
Today, we joined an ongoing Twitter conversation about the kinds of princesses people want to see in an attempt to make a point about the importance of telling stories that challenge stigma and championing stories that too often dont get told, reads a statement by Planned Parenthoods president and CEO, Melissa Reed. Upon reflection, we decided that the seriousness of the point we were trying to make was not appropriate for the subject matter or context, and we removed the tweet.
Despite the tweet not existing anymore, Donald Trumps eldest decided it was his duty to weigh in on the Disney princess situation:

We need Disney Princesses that let kids enjoy childhood rather than subjecting them to never ending identity politics. #DisneyPrincess

Perhaps it was worse if daddy couldn't score with a hooker... you know, any port in a storm.

The Trump family are changing my mind about eugenism...
A "mass sterilization" wouldn't be a bad idea. it's a matter of public health.

Of course, you'd have daddy issues too if that piece of work was your father. So would almost all of us.
