But last night it was domestic matters that were to the fore, when Jr was celebrating Halloween with his family.
Bizarrely, he chose to use his daughter Chloe’s trick or treating to tweet out a “lesson” about socialism
I’m going to take half of Chloe’s candy tonight & give it to some kid who sat at home. It’s never to early to teach her about socialism. pic.twitter.com/3ie9C0jv2G
The candy that Chloe received was *free* from generous neighbours – so Trump Jr’s point is already flawed before even talking about why he’d bring his young daughter into this particular debate.
He tweeted the “lesson” last night and brought on a firestorm of criticism – on every level:
Nearly 60,000 replies have all informed him of why he’s wrong
Parody tweets with a more sound basis are taking off too
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
JK Rowling thought there could be a parallel with the sitting President
Fill her bucket with old candy left by her great-grandfather, then explain that she has more because she's smarter than all the other kids. https://t.co/0lbhHYyFe4
If Donald Jr sat down and thought logically about trick or treating, he might not let her out of the house next year based on it being such a generous act
Halloween candy are literally handouts you wooden clod

Donald Trump Jr is getting torn to shreds for a tweet comparing his daughter’s trick or treating to socialism
DONALD TRUMP JR has had quite an eventful week – following more revelations about the Russian lawyer he met with who’s involved in an international money laundering case.
But last night it was domestic matters that were to the fore, when Jr was celebrating Halloween with his family.
Bizarrely, he chose to use his daughter Chloe’s trick or treating to tweet out a “lesson” about socialism
The candy that Chloe received was *free* from generous neighbours – so Trump Jr’s point is already flawed before even talking about why he’d bring his young daughter into this particular debate.

There are perhaps better political lessons to learn here
Parody tweets with a more sound basis are taking off too
Whoops!

JK Rowling thought there could be a parallel with the sitting President
People pointed out that they have been that kid at home, and absolutely appreciated others generosity at the time
No! Let’s make Halloween about grinding, dog-eat-dog capitalism instead! Only the toughest, richest kids are allowed sweets!
Maybe sharing candy isn’t the worst thing ever?
Zach Braff had some corrections for Donald Jr
Whoops!

He thought he’d landed a zinger with this one, but no.
