Donald Trump Jr. shared a meme about women and it backfired spectacularly
Donald Trump Jr. might want to hold off sharing Twitter memes for a bit while he recovers from the internet dragging him.
Following the State of the Union, the president's son decided to tweet a meme about the Democratic women of Congress on Wednesday, who wore suffragette white to the address to make a powerful visual statement.
Trump Jr. tweeted the meme — a photo of the women with the words "NOT ONE AMERICAN FLAG AMONG THEM" across it — to his 3.3 million followers on Wednesday, adding, "Speaks for itself and no one is at all surprised."

After tweeting the meme, many people challenged Trump Jr. by sharing a photograph he shared of his own family right before the State of the Union address. Here it is.

As you may have noticed, not one of these seven individuals — including Trump Jr. himself — appears to be wearing a flag pin. Hmm...
One might go so far is to say there is "Not one American flag among them," and that perhaps their choice to not wear American flag pins to the State of the Union "speaks for itself."
As you may have guessed, it wasn't long before people called Trump Jr. out for his hypocrisy and came to the defense of the women.

Yeah Junior, some people show their patriotism through their actions. Others are Republicans wearing flag pins.

Photos taken from during the event showed the Trumps without pins.

If you're gonna tweet the meme, you really have to wear the pin yourself, dude. I think that's just how it works.
