Donald Trump Jr. Mocked For Urging Dad To Declare 'Total War' Over Election
Donald Trump Jr. is not happy with how the election vote count is going and expects his dad to do something about it.
On Thursday, the president’s eldest son posted a tweet demanding that his pop “go to total war over this election to expose all of the fraud, cheating, dead/no longer in state voters, that has been going on for far too long.”
Like many of the tweets being posted by the president and brother Eric Trump these days, Twitter immediately tagged Donald Jr.’s post as potentially misleading.
The best thing for America’s future is for @realDonaldTrump to go to total war over this election to expose all of the fraud, cheating, dead/no longer in state voters, that has been going on for far too long.
It’s time to clean up this mess & stop looking like a banana republic!— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) November 5, 2020
Judging from the snarky reactions among Twitter users, Donald Jr.’s tweet didn’t exactly inspire the reaction he intended.
Totally normal thing for someone confident in their own legitimate victory to say... https://t.co/rCF4OsOAZ2

The only thing that looks like a banana republic is the son of the sitting U.S. President calling for “total war” over an election when votes are still being counted https://t.co/uR6r8SJ2zS

He tried to "expose" these things but they don't exist in any meaningful way so it didn't work. Just FYI. https://t.co/72yJkN3edA

Unfortunately, no one on the GOP side of things —at least no one with any clout—has the fortitude to tell Don Jr. to get a grip. “Total war” is beyond reckless. And someone should try and shut it down. https://t.co/lA2rpK0XJQ
