Joe Biden
(Picture: Copyright 2021 The Associated Press. All rights reserved)Yesterday, Joe Biden made a statement after terror attacks outside Kabul airport claimed around 90 lives.
The emotional president paid tribute to the at least 13 US troops who are believed to have been killed and said that he would continue evacuating people from the country. He added: “We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay” and asked people to join him in a minute’s silence to remember the troops.
While it was a moving moment for some, one Donald Trump Jr decided to mock the president and took to Twitter to proclaim: “This is what weakness looks like.”

And unsurprisingly, people thought his comment was tasteless and profoundly ridiculous, and were quick to put him in his place:
This is a president whose two sons served in the military empathizing with those who just lost their children. Your dad's son is a clown with an inferiority complex tweeting about things he knows nothing about. https://t.co/ZEpGKeZ7vc

Sometimes it occurs to me that junior has a very broken emotional life. pic.twitter.com/CFhjF4MCES

Don Jr thinks praying makes you look weak. We told y'all they were fake Christians but you just wouldn't listen. https://t.co/oTI45AEuyd

Even his cousin, Mary Trump, had some stern words for Jr.

It is not the first time the former president’s son’s coverage of the Afghanistan crisis has failed to hit the mark. Recently, he appeared to side with the Taliban when they were censored from Facebook – though he was defending social media libertarianism rather than the actual Taliban.
Nevertheless, as he was roasted then, he was roasted now.
Oh dear, Donald Trump Jr. When will you learn?
