Donald Trump Jr.’s tweet was a magnet for both sides

Twitter

If Donald Trump Jr. was looking to provoke a debate, that’s exactly what he got, because his tweet drew comments from both sides of the political spectrum. A few social media users took the opportunity to send their best to the former president by responding to Don Jr.’s comment. But there were others that saw his comment as an invitation to remind him about how controversial his father was. “Your dad lied about how many people where vaccinated, just like he lied on day one saying it didn’t rain, and the last day when he said he won the election,” tweeted one user.  Another posted: “Shall we list your dads lies, misstatements, gaffs and moments of blithering incoherence? Have cakes and candles brought in, you’ll be a good deal older when the list is completed.” 

Other social media users declined to take potshots at 45, and instead focused on 46, saying: “A man on display with compassion, integrity, empathy, credibility, qualities we all strive to achieve. So good to see.”

The positive reviews surrounding the president didn’t sit too well with Donald Trump Jr., whose father Biden referred to as “the former guy” (via Twitter) and who received a few pointed jabs that were sent his way. Don Jr. took to Twitter to share a portion of the CNN Town Hall with the comment: “Where are the fact checkers in this one? Oh, that’s right, they only fact check one side.”
