Donald Trump Jr. Sensationally Self-Owns With Pulitzer Gaffe Worthy Of Own Prize

Donald Trump Jr. Sensationally Self-Owns With Pulitzer Gaffe Worthy Of Own Prize
Twitter users, including a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, pounced on the president’s son over his latest ill-thought-out post.

Not a single prize-winning story had a substantive correction.

So funny that The New York Times & The Washington Post got a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage (100% NEGATIVE and FAKE!) of Collusion with Russia - And there was No Collusion! So, they were either duped or corrupt? In any event, their prizes should be taken away by the Committee!

“He’s right… unless they give Pulitzer’s for fiction,” wrote Trump Jr., who in recent days has teased the idea of a future run for office and has caught heat for giving an interview to a far-right conspiracy theory-peddling website which has previously called former President Barack Obama “a demon from hell.”

At least Eric stays quiet most of the time. I suspect he's the child Trump called "retarded".

Guess what Sherlock, they DO give a Pulitzer Prize for fiction, but that wasn't the case here, just good investigative reporting.

You know what else, Sherlock? Schiff and Nadler are going to get the report before you or daddy get it. Uh oh!!

Enjoy your weekend.
