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.

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.

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.
