We regret to inform you the Trump family brain trust, Donald Trump Jr., is at it again.
Yes, the poster boy for never learning your lesson has gone on the ol' Twitter machine to post yet another classic in which he thinks he's cut a Democrat to the quick but has actually just typed out a bunch of nonsense words. This time, the eldest son of former Republican President Donald Trump has guns on the brain.
After Democratic President Joe Biden mocked gun-obsessed conservatives' fetishism of military-grade assault weapons in his State of the Union address by quipping, "You think the deer are wearing a Kevlar vest?" Trump Jr. had the perfect comeback.
Or at least he thought he did.
What he actually posted made no sense whatsoever, but that's par for the course at this point.
Anyway, see Trump Jr.'s big clapback below.
Joe, the reason American\u2019s need an AR-15 with a 30 round magazine isn\u2019t a deer in a Kevlar vest it\u2019s what you\u2019re watching take place on the news 24/7 this week in Ukraine #sotu— Donald Trump Jr. (@Donald Trump Jr.) 1646192865
Trump Jr. tweeted:
"Joe, the reason American’s need an AR-15 with a 30 round magazine isn’t a deer in a Kevlar vest it’s what you’re watching take place on the news 24/7 this week in Ukraine🇺🇦 #sotu"
What on Earth does Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine have to do with U.S. gun laws, you ask?
Well let's see... it's happening on the other side of the world, in a country that is not the U.S. And while Putin has threatened to retaliate against us if we get involved, he's threatened to do so with nuclear weapons. All the assault rifles in the universe are no match for a single nuclear bomb.
As for our actual border mates, Canada and Mexico, both are allies to us and have no plans to invade us that we know of. So yeah: your guess is as good as ours when it comes to what on Earth this tweet could possibly mean.
But boy howdy, Jr. sure thinks he did something, doesn't he! But pretty much nobody on Twitter was impressed, and they let him know in no uncertain terms.
Everyone (including Switzerland) is shipping shoulder-fired anti tank and anti aircraft ammunition to Ukraine as fast as they can, but these silly effin jackwagons still think their AR-15s could fight off a moderately motivated nation state.\n\nStinger missiles won the cold war.https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1498867630073163778\u00a0\u2026— Liam Nissan\u2122 (@Liam Nissan\u2122) 1646227321
But the 2A was designed to empower a well regulated Militia to defend against a tyrannical government. \n\nAny international wars are fought by the military.— Richard (@Richard) 1646205811
We have an active military of more than 1.3 million members (plus many more reservists) who carry AR-15s, the average person does not need military weapons.— Lindsey (@Lindsey) 1646193177
Did you ever wonder why it wasn\u2019t until the SCOTUS ruled on Heller in that a person\u2019s constitutional right to own a gun was guaranteed?\n\nIt\u2019s because prior to 1971, nobody interpreted it as an individual right. It wasn\u2019t created for free individuals to overthrow the gov.— MeNotYou (@MeNotYou) 1646222185
Which American border has tanks rolling across it?— WaveBrave (@WaveBrave) 1646201275
You\u2019re illiterate and idiotic. Waiting for Canadian tanks to sweep down over the border into Minnesota.https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1498867630073163778\u00a0\u2026— Harry Turtledove (@Harry Turtledove) 1646233255
You're so stupid. When was the last time the U.S. was invaded by Russia? Now take a look at how many were killed in the U.S. by Americans with AR-15. So, we are being invaded by other Americans by your comment!https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1498867630073163778\u00a0\u2026— Tammy H #Resist #Bluetsunami \ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a (@Tammy H #Resist #Bluetsunami \ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a) 1646233401
Junior feel free to zip over to Ukraine and take a crack at stopping a tank with your Walmart AR\n\nUS supplied missiles which your daddy opposed are winning that war\u2026\n\nBump another rail trust fund babyhttps://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1498867630073163778\u00a0\u2026— M J (@M J) 1646240989
He either:\n\na) views Canada and Mexico as national security threats, \n\nb) doesn't think much of the active duty military, Guard, and Reserves,\n\nc) doesn't know that NATO would come to our aid, as they did after 9/11,\n\nd) took 'Red Dawn' seriously, or \n\ne) All of the above.https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1498867630073163778\u00a0\u2026— Swiss Army Nerd (@Swiss Army Nerd) 1646234111
So you're saying we need large capacity magazines to protect the US against Putin loving fascists??? I mean... this is probably a reasonable point, but not in the way you intended.https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1498867630073163778\u00a0\u2026— J Cross (@J Cross) 1646194630
Someone please restart the countdown clock until Trump Jr.'s next nonsensical face-plant tweet. It's only a matter of time.
