Few manage to outmatch President Donald Trump in crassness and tactlessness, but his son Don Jr. definitely gives him a run for his money.

The antagonistic eldest son of Donald Trump continued that pattern when he shockingly used an Instagram story to compare undocumented immigrants to animals in a zoo on the night of his father's first Oval Office address, which the senior Trump used to vilify ignorance to bolster funding for a wall at the southern border.

While Instagram stories are fleeting, screenshots are forever, and people have a lot to say about this one, and about Trump Jr.'s character as a whole.

But there was one unifying joke to be made.

Many believe that Trump Jr., his father, and maybe even other family members will soon be behind bars...just like animals in a zoo.

Maybe he should spend less time being inflammatory and more time seeming innocent.

UPDATE: This article originally claimed Donald Trump Jr. deleted the post from Instagram, it's been corrected to reflect that it was part of an Instagram story.

Ted Cruz Clashes With 'Crazy' MTG Over Her Cryptic Post Alluding That 'The Jews' Are Trying To Kill Her

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
