Australian Official Rips 'Big Baby' Don Jr. After He Tries To Blame Government For Tour Cancellation

Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil called out Trump Jr. in since-deleted tweets for his 'poor ticket sales' being the real culprit in his postponed speaking tour.

An Australian government official lashed out at Donald Trump Jr. after he postponed his speaking tour in the country, implying that Trump Jr. was unpopular and referred to him as a "big baby."

The tour, which was scheduled to take place in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney starting on Sunday, had generated significant opposition on social media, with protests and a petition signed by over 20,000 people calling for the government to ban Trump Jr. from entering the country.


In response to the postponement, Trump Jr.'s promoter suggested the government was trying to keep him out, hinting at a conspiracy.

However, the Home Affairs Minister, Clare O'Neil, stated in a now-deleted tweet Trump Jr. was simply "a big baby who isn't very popular."She further noted Trump Jr.'s claims of cancellation by the Australian government were unfounded, as he had been granted a visa to enter the country.

She wrote:

“Geez, Donald Trump Jr is a bit of a sore loser. His dad lost an election fair and square — but he says it was stolen. Now he’s trying to blame the Australian Government for his poor ticket sales and cancelled tour.”
“Donald Trump Jr has been given a visa to come to Australia. He didn’t get cancelled. He’s just a big baby, who isn’t very popular.”

You can see what she said below.

O'Neil's remarks went viral and Trump Jr. was mocked profusely.



Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that Trump Jr.'s visa had been processed in the standard manner, while Immigration Minister Andrew Giles emphasized that all visa applicants are treated equally, regardless of their views.

Giles also pointed out the possibility that the postponement was due to lackluster ticket sales rather than any other factors raised by Trump Jr. and his team.

Trump Jr.'s visit to Australia has been postponed for now, and it remains to be seen when the speaking tour will be rescheduled.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
