Few manage to outmatch President Donald Trump in crassness and tactlessness, but his son Don Jr. definitely gives him a run for his money.
The antagonistic eldest son of Donald Trump continued that pattern when he shockingly used an Instagram story to compare undocumented immigrants to animals in a zoo on the night of his father's first Oval Office address, which the senior Trump used to vilify ignorance to bolster funding for a wall at the southern border.
While Instagram stories are fleeting, screenshots are forever, and people have a lot to say about this one, and about Trump Jr.'s character as a whole.

But there was one unifying joke to be made.
Many believe that Trump Jr., his father, and maybe even other family members will soon be behind bars...just like animals in a zoo.

Maybe he should spend less time being inflammatory and more time seeming innocent.
UPDATE: This article originally claimed Donald Trump Jr. deleted the post from Instagram, it's been corrected to reflect that it was part of an Instagram story.
