With the 2020 election mere months away, debates between President Donald Trump and presumed 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden are set to start at the end of September.

While Biden expressed eagerness to debate Trump, several of the President's allies are ridiculing Biden's hypothetical performance, repeating claims that the former Vice President isn't mentally fit to match Trump in a war of words and policy.

The President's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., continued that level of discourse on Twitter.

Junior joked that Biden isn't even capable of debating the President's youngest son, Barron Trump.

Trolling comments like these are par for the course in Don Jr.'s Twitter feed, and this one normally would've gone unnoticed were it not for an event that occurred during the House Judiciary Committee's hearings on the impeachment of the President.

Stanford Law Professor Pamela Karlan appeared before the committee to testify that impeachment was warranted because the President is not a king.

Notably, Karlan said:

"I'll just give you one example that shows you the difference between him and a king, which is the Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he cannot make him a baron."

Though Karlan was doing little more than making a pun, Republicans seized on the invocation of the President's youngest child.

Before Karlan's testimony was over, First Lady Melania Trump posted a tweet telling Karlan she should be ashamed.

Donald Trump Jr. himself even took umbrage at the invocation of Barron's name.

Trump's supporters soon followed suit, referring to Karlan as "sick" and unworthy of testifying.

With that context, people found Don Jr.'s tweet flippantly mentioning Barron as hypocritical at best.






People also aren't sold on Junior's assertion that Biden can't best Trump in a debate.



Days after Republicans took umbrage at Karlan's invocation of Barron, Trump mocked climate activist Greta Thunberg—a 15 year old—on Twitter after she won TIME's Person of the Year.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
