This Is Your Brain On Cocaine

By David Edwards — July 6, 2021

Donald Trump Jr., son of the former president, faced backlash on Sunday after he celebrated the July 4th holiday by tweeting an image of his father that some found offensive.

The image showed the former president riding on the back of a bald eagle as it flew over Mt. Rushmore. Each of the presidents who are carved into the mountain had been altered so that they appeared to be wearing "Make America Great Again" hats.

Many of the responses accused the former president's son of denigrating a national holiday.

"What is wrong with you?" one person asked.

"Oh now I get it, we can't kneel in protest but we can desecrate Mount Rushmore," another person wrote.

When you get your prison tattoo you should be bold and go for the image of your dad on the eagle, full lower back. It might be better to get this done before you go in, safer protocol. Have a great holiday. :-)

The same people who are offended by black people kneeling for the National Anthem, also seem to think this image of a person desecrating our sacred national symbols is just fine. WTF.
