Donald Trump Jr mocks CNN in tweet asking if meme headline is ‘real’

Donald Trump Jr took to Twitter asking if a meme of his presidential father meeting Sean Connery was a real CNN story.

The meme shows a picture of the commander-in-chief and Connery from 2006 while a fake CNN banner reads: ‘Trump, met with a Russian nuclear submarine captain and a suspected British double agent’.

Two images on the right then show Connery in his roles as James Bond and Captain Mark Ramius from ‘The Hunt for Red October.’

And for good measure, a fake scrawl attributes a quote to Nancy Pelosi saying that this is the reason ‘we must ban Russian dressing.’

Trump Jr posted the meme to his Twitter account on Sunday morning and wrote: ‘Can someone confirm if this is a real CNN headline or not? I can’t tell anymore.’

His father has often criticized CNN for of being ‘fake news’ and not being bipartisan.

Some Twitter users reacted to Trump Jr’s tweet with sarcasm and humor.

‘About as real as your fathers [sic] fidelity tot his wife,’ tweeted one.

‘Are you on drugs? Holy s**t. You’re on drugs again,’ wrote another.

Other users, however, agreed with the 40-year-old and railed on the network.

‘The amazing part is, is that we actually have to ask that question,’ wrote one Twitter user. ‘Who knows with CNN, these guys prop up Dictators in NOKO and exploit children to bash [Republicans] and the second amendment. CNN is the scum of the earth.’

The president’s oldest son has been in the news lately after his wife, Vanessa, was sent a substance in the mail.

Vanessa opened the envelope in February and was transported as a precaution to a hospital in New York, shortly after coming in contact with the substance.

The New York Police Department later confirmed to the press that the substance was nonhazardous. 

Daniel Frisiello, 24, of Massachusetts was arrested and charged with threats to injure and providing false information and hoaxes.

Authorities said Frisiello referred to Trump Jr as an ‘awful person’.

‘You are an awful, awful person, I am surprised that your father lets you speak on TV,’ the letter read, according to the Justice Department. ‘You make the family idiot, Eric, look smart. This is the reason why people hate you, so you are getting what you deserve. So shut the F**K UP!’

‘Truly disgusting that certain individuals choose to express their opposing views with such disturbing behavior,’ Trump Jr tweeted, after the incident.

The suspect also sent the other letters to the Interim United States Attorney for the Central District of California, Democratic US Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, a congressional candidate, and a Stanford law professor.
