Donald Trump Jr. likes to mimic his father as much as possible.

Both had 5 kids, both cheated on their spouses...

...and both like to post on Twitter with dubious results.

Jr.'s latest Twitter flub is drawing ire for its outdated ignorance regarding HIV.

A Trump?

Making an ignorant, uneducated comment on Twitter?

Giphy

Yeah, apple... tree... falling distance...

Anyhoo, Jr. decided to share a tweet from the LGBTQ+ website Queerty. After clearly not reading it or understanding what it said or having any idea what he was talking about.

The caption of the Queerty article share tweet read:

"What you stand to lose by not having sex with people with HIV"

Jr.'s clever quip in response?

"Well I can think of one thing."

Yeah. Hilarious.

Twitter had the usual reaction they do to one of Jr.'s clever little tweets though.



HIV+ Hamilton actor Javier Muñoz shared a bit of education and information after condemning Jr.'s perpetuation of ignorance and stigma.






His fellow Broadway star, Nick Adams, noted the abundance of opinions with a lack of information.

For Trump Jr., he didn't waste his time trying to educate those who wish to remain ignorant.

Actor and singer Telly Leung kept it short too.

As did Drag Queen and New York City Council candidate Marti Gould Cummings.

Peter Morley suggested Nancy Pelosi might be able to help Jr. with his ignorance about HIV.

People also noted the proximity of Jr.'s tweet to World AIDS Day on December 1, 2019.




Some pointed out the Trump family record with unsafe sex.



Of course, there were a lot of highly informed and not at all ignorant responses that completely agreed with Don Jr.'s joke.


In a statement, Human Rights Campaign President Alphonso David said:

"Trump Jr. just proved again what we already knew — that he, his father and the Trump-Pence administration don't care about people living with HIV, are undermining competent care and have no understanding of people living with HIV."
"Trump Jr.'s absolutely disgusting and ignorant tweet only serves to perpetuate the stigma faced by people living with HIV, which HRC and LGBTQ advocates have fought so long to end. Trump Jr. must apologize."

Threads User's Epic Rant Ripping MAGA Fans Who Now Claim They 'Always Had Doubts' About Trump Has The Internet Applauding

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.
