Donald Trump Jr. Delivers Yet Another Spectacular Self-Own On Twitter


“This is your greatest worst moment,” responded one Twitter user to the president’s son latest online gaffe.

By Lee Moran

Twitter users dunked on Donald Trump Jr. after he shared yet another inaccurate meme on Friday.

President Donald Trump’s son likened his father’s declaration of a national emergency to pay for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border to former President Barack Obama’s 2010 enaction of the Affordable Care Act with this image of Kermit the Frog sipping tea:




The caption read: “Remember when we weren’t given a choice about Obamacare? Enjoy your wall.” Trump Jr. wrote: “True story.”

However, dozens of people were at pains to point out that the ACA was passed following votes by elected lawmakers in Congress ― and not via Obama bypassing the House and Senate and declaring an emergency.

Trump Jr. has this month alone caught heat on the social media platform for repeating his father’s lie about the number of people who attended former Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s rally in Texas and insulting “loser teachers.”

I am fine with letting him blather to a growing potential jury pool.

Constitutional process and the resulting laws are not choice, but the obsessive animus of a vile dithering old man is.

I'm constantly in disbelief at how these idiots air their petty grievances and throw insults at those they disagree with for the entire world to see. They're old man is a low life crook and as far as his spawn the seed definitely didn't fall far from the tree.

Obamacare was rammed down America's throat bc polls at the time said it wasnt popular and no Republicans voted for it. It doesnt matter if Congress approved it. They then fail to recognize that they were wanting to repeal it with no Dem votes and public support against them.
