Donald Trump Jr. Lashes Back At Ken Jennings After Barron Trump Tweet

Them is some fighting words, Donald Trump Jr.

The first son is tweeting up some serious heat towards Jeopardy! champ Ken Jennings, apparently in an effort to put some pressure on Simon & Schuster to drop him.

Good point, you would think that in this day & age @simonandschuster would have an issue with one of their children’s authors bullying a kid https://t.co/S4Bxs7AnSs

Trump Jr. was responding to tweeter and Conservative blogger Ginger McQueen, who initially pointed out Ken Jennings’ connection to Simon & Schuster.

He writes children’s books for Simon & Schuster. Call them at 1(800) 223-2336, then chose option 4. Yes, this is the jackass from Jeopardy. https://t.co/lVJGJ1SvyC

Ken Jennings went after Barron Trump yesterday after Trump’s claim that Barron saw Kathy Griffin’s disturbing photoshoot and thought his father was dead.  Jennings’ tweet was featured in The Washington Times.

Barron Trump saw a very long necktie on a heap of expired deli meat in a dumpster. He thought it was his dad & his little heart is breaking

Ouch.

Obviously, Twitter did not respond kindly, but expectedly, Jennings did not back down. Barron Trump must be on an emotional rollercoaster these days: first some D-list redhead he’s never heard of holding up his dad’s severed head, now this pile of expired deli meat, plus the whole having Donald Trump as your father thing.
