Donald Trump Jr.’s Twitter history is not stellar. If retweeting conspiracy theories and memes from antisemites wasn’t creepy enough, he’s now using his daughter’s image to score cheap political points against what he deems to be socialism-loving leftists.
Along with an adorable picture of his daughter holding a half-empty Halloween candy bucket, Don Jr. tweeted, “I’m going to take half of Chloe’s candy tonight & give it to some kid who sat at home. It’s never to early to teach her about socialism.”

But the tweet proved to be a prime target for internet mockery. Thankfully, most people had the good sense to steer clear of attacking his daughter directly, but the irony embedded in the tweet’s sentiment garnered some pretty biting responses.
…or, you could tell her you’re taking it to help kids with cancer but then leave a wrapper trail so she can learn how Trump charities work

My dad used to eat all my candy after I came home tired and went to sleep. That’s how I learned capitalism. https://t.co/fqiF75JaBi

Take her to a middle class neighborhood and make her actually work for candy. You’re full size candy people in a fun size world.
