Trump Jr. hits back after Halloween tweet criticism

Donald Trump Jr. fired back at Twitter users for criticizing his Halloween-night tweet, saying “enough of the PC lib crap.”

“If only blue checkmark SJWs cared as much about terrorists attacking us as they do about me attacking socialism. Enough of the PC lib crap!” Trump Jr. tweeted on Wednesday.

In a tweet on Halloween, Trump Jr. joked that he was going to take half his daughter’s trick-or-treating candy and give it to a child “who sat at home” to “teach her about socialism.”

{mosads}He was attacked in response on Twitter. Several Twitter users noted that his daughter is getting the candy for free by trick-or-treating.

“You mean the candy that she got for free out of the goodness of strangers’ hearts?” one person replied.

Fill her bucket with old candy left by her great-grandfather, then explain that she has more because she’s smarter than all the other kids. https://t.co/0lbhHYyFe4

I’ll take 1/2 my kids candy, store it in a Cyprus tax shelter, then declare bankruptcy to teach her about capitalism https://t.co/7OAOjFYjQx

Trump Jr. often uses his Twitter account to blast critics of his father, President Trump, as well as troll political opponents.

Last week, he mocked Hillary Clinton on her birthday over a tweet she had sent out the previous year that called her younger self the “future president.”
