It should actually be a felony for Don Jr. to make fun of anyone who has really done something with their life, not coming from money. Whether it’s the high school teacher that has taught for 35 years, a successful, moderate judge that just tries to do the right thing, a young woman engineer fighting for a spot at the table in a field still dominated by men… or a black man who rose up the ranks of the military to make it the very top, a four star general, who then serves the country as Secretary of Defense, as Lloyd Austin has done, Junior should be charged with something for implying that the man is stupid (and thus Junior is “smart”).
How a little twerp like Donald Trump Jr. who, despite all the opportunity in the world, has done nothing we can discern, other than work for dad at every step along the way, just like all the other Trump kids (except for Tiffany, who is barely considered family), how he gets off calling someone like Lloyd Austin a “clown” for the offense of wearing a mask and still getting COVID, will remain forever a mystery to some of us.
Admittedly, Don Jr. likely doesn’t know that one wears masks primarily to help others rather than yourself, but still:

First of all, the picture was obviously taken over the summer, can’t tell? Clown!
And testing positive makes Austin a clown? Stupid? Because he never takes his mask off around family or to eat, right? This is particularly “funny” coming from a guy whose father lived in the most protected building on earth, one with its own ventilation system, and still managed to get COVID and nearly die from it – as later reports indicated precisely because he was too fcking stupid to wear a mask and require everyone around him to wear a mask. But now it’s all a joke when a man gets it?
We are at the point where it’s nothing more than juvenile “us against them” laughter over anyone’s misfortune. Twitter wasn’t laughing.
