Don Jr. Slammed After Mocking Peter Dinklage For Calling Out Disney's 'Snow White' Remake

Donald Trump Jr. decided to insult Peter Dinklage after the latter called out Disney for supporting damaging stereotypes in their live action Snow White remake.

This inevitably led to backlash against the deeply unpopular eldest so of Donald Trump.


It all began when Dinklage asked how Disney was still making the “backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together.” Disney has since responded, saying they are consulting with members of the dwarfism community for the project.

And apparently Trump Jr. just could not stand that.

Disney first announced the live action Snow White project back in June 2021. Since then, they’ve announced a few key casting choices, including the breakout Columbian/Polish star of West Side Story, Rachel Zegler as Snow White.

Despite this seemingly progressive move by Disney, Dinklage spoke on Marc Maron’s podcast, saying:

“No offense to anything, but I was a little taken aback … They were very proud to cast a Latino actress as Snow White, but you’re still telling the story of ‘Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs.’”
“You’re progressive in one way, but you’re still making that f***ing backward story of seven dwarfs living in the cave. What the f*** are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox?"

After the story went viral, Trump Jr. decided to chime in, though no one wanted that.

Trump Jr. responded by calling the whole situation ridiculous and that implying that Dinklage was okay with the dwarf jokes in Game of Thrones.

However, Dinklage has often used his celebrity to speak on the effects of prejudice against people with dwarfism. The media is a part of the problem.

On top of that, the insinuation that the jokes about Tyrion Lannister’s dwarfism were okay in Game of Thrones because Dinklage was getting paid, fail to understand the point at all. Those insults in the show were meant to demonstrate how backward that society is, on top of presenting how the other characters write off and underestimate Tyrion.

Even then, Dinklage still spoke out on issues in the dwarf community during the show.


However, Trump Jr.’s attacks on Dinklage’s comments shouldn’t be surprising. Any attempt to improve people’s treatment gets called “woke” by conservative pundits and insulted for no reason other than preventing things from getting better.

Which is why many online felt it necessary to call out Trump Jr.

By now, Trump Jr. should be used to having dumb opinions thrown back in his face. Just earlier this month, he tried to make fun of House Representative Eric Swalwell from California.

However, it didn’t quite go as planned.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
