Yahoo Movies Donald Trump Jr. Shows Once Again He Is Planet's Least Self-Aware Person
Donald Trump may be president, but Donald Trump Jr. is the king ― of the “self-own,” that is.
The president’s firstborn son has a long history of posting tweets that backfire in his face, and he kept the tradition alive on Thursday.
It happened when Trump Jr. attempted to accuse Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden of being a spoiled rich kid who didn’t work for his wealth.
My father gave me an opportunity to work my way up in his company. Joe gave his son China.

Many Twitter users weren’t sure Trump Jr. was the right guy to make a case against nepotism, considering his daddy hired him as a vice president a year out of college.
And, yes, there was snark.
is this what he told you? roflmao

The most hilarious tweet I've ever read on this site. He really worked his way up the ladder after college, from VP to Executive VP. This guy gets it. https://t.co/VjrCiYEs1J

Does that mean Hunter got your dad's secret Chinese bank account? And the taxes he paid to China? https://t.co/HXHlAjfygc

But Jr.’s tweet may have had one positive result: helping one man come up with what can only be described as a truly lucrative business concept.
