Prominent Republicans have been in a tizzy this week, not because of the pandemic that's killed over 500 thousand Americans or the continued economic instability it's foisted on millions more.

The topic of outrage among conservative circles is Dr. Seuss.


Read Across America Day happens to fall on Seuss's birthday, March 2. In his Read Across America address, President Joe Biden didn't mention the popular children's author—a break with the relatively new tradition that started under former President Barack Obama.

Conservatives accused Biden of erasing Seuss's legacy. Their outrage only grew when the business in charge of Seuss's legacy announced it would be pulling six of his books from further publication due to racist caricatures and content.

According to Vox reporter Aaron Rupar, Fox News spent days on the manufactured controversy and Republicans across the country began proclaiming their support for Seuss in the face of his imagined cancellation.

Among them was Donald Trump Jr., the son of former President Donald Trump, who posted a picture of him with his child, holding an edition of Cat in the Hat, one of Seuss's most popular books.

But the way Trump Jr. was holding the book caught some attention.

Don Jr. was obscuring a starburst of text, which an eagle-eyed internet denizen soon uncovered.

All details indicate that Trump Jr. was covering a note that the edition was in English and Spanish.

Sadly, this tracks, since Trump Jr.'s father ran a campaign on demonizing immigrants from Hispanic countries, characterizing them as murderers and rapists. His administration all too eagerly carried this demonization out through policy, prompting Trump's supporters to despise the so-called "invasion" of the United States by Spanish-speaking immigrants.

People were pretty sure Trump Jr. went out of the way to conceal that his copy was the bilingual edition.





Twitter users immediately proceeded to roast him.




Donald Trump Jr. continues to rail against Seuss's imaginary cancellation on his social media accounts.

Trump Just Shared A Truly Unhinged Tribute To Tim Cook After He Announced He's Stepping Down As Apple CEO—And, Hoo Boy

President Donald Trump shared an unhinged tribute to Apple CEO Tim Cook—whom he again referred to as "Tim Apple"—following Cook's announcement that Apple will have a new leader starting in September, openly reminiscing about all the times Cook would call him to "kiss my ass."

Cook took over from Steve Jobs and reshaped Apple by leaning on his operations expertise. He streamlined and expanded global supply chains, introduced Apple-designed chips, and pushed the company beyond hardware into services, launching subscription offerings like Apple News, Apple TV+, and Apple Pay, which have since become major revenue drivers.

She said it was “awful” that Trump was golfing while the U.S. is at war with Iran and facing rising prices, arguing he should be focused on his responsibilities instead.
