Twitter reacts to THIS ridiculous Trump tweet, and it is NOT pretty

by

Unless you've been living on another planet for the past year, you'll be all too aware that business tycoon (and all-round toupée lover) Donald Trump is running for the United States president.

In the process, he has managed to incense countless people with his anti-immigration policies and bombastic showmanship, but it's not only Donald himself who stokes the fire.

Supporting his father on Twitter earlier today, Donald Trump Jr. shared an image which encapsulates his father's controversial campaign, and social media users just aren't having it.

Comparing Syrian refugees to poisoned skittles, Donald Jr. wrote: "This image says it all. Let's end the politically correct agenda that doesn't put America first. #trump2016."

While the tweet did, indeed, receive praise (and 11,000 retweets) from some quarters, many, including Ruby Rose and Zach Braff, responded to the post with disbelief.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Responding to the controversy, Wrigley Americas, who own Skittles, said; "Skittles are candy. Refugees are people."

"We don't feel it's an appropriate analogy. We will respectfully refrain from further commentary as anything we say could be misinterpreted as marketing," they finished.
