Don Trump Jr. has rushed to take advantage of the Alec Baldwin movie set tragedy by selling T-shirts mocking the incident on his official website.
Last Thursday, whilst filming the movie, Rust, in which he stars, Baldwin was handed a prop gun and told it contained blanks. It actually contained a real bullet. Baldwin discharged the weapon, which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, and wounded the Director, Joel Souza.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances around the incident and why Baldwin was given a loaded gun. Baldwin, who is one of the producers of the movie, has said his “heart is broken”, and he and many others have paid tribute to Hutchins.
Baldwin famously mocked Donald Trump by playing the former President on Saturday Night Live, so it’s safe to say the Trump clan are not particular fans of his.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
This was confirmed yesterday when Don Trump Jr. began selling T-shirts and hoodies on his site emblazoned with the logo, ‘Guns don’t kill people. Alec Baldwin kills people’.
Trump Jr. also took to Instagram to share mocking memes. One has Homer Simpson wearing a sandwich board, with, “Let’s all watch Alec Baldwin blame the gun” on it. Trump Jr. captioned the meme, “It’s only a matter of time.”
Another one showed Trump Snr. miming holding a gun, with the caption: “Donald Trump, rehearsing for SNL skit where he plays Alec Baldwin.”

Trump Jr. defended his criticism of Baldwin, an advocate for gun regulations, saying, “Screw all the sanctimony I’m seeing out there. If the shoe was on the other foot Alex Baldwin would literally be the first person pissing on everybody’s grave trying to make a point. F*ck him!”

Among those to criticize Jr. was actress Debra Messing. She tweeted, “#DonJr is a rancid piece of garbage. A wife, mother & colleague DIED. How DARE YOU cash in on this unfathomable tragedy. You are a damaged, unloved person. I hope you receive the same amount of compassion if ever a tragedy befalls your family.”

Another right-winger to comment on the shooting is Candace Owens. The occasional Fox News contributor tweeted on Oct. 22, “Alec Baldwin spent 4 years dedicated to painting Donald Trump and his supporters as evil murderers. What has happened to Alec would be an example of poetic justice if it weren’t for the actual innocent people that were murdered by him. Pray for their families. So sad.”
She later deleted that tweet after realizing the word “murdered” carries legal meaning (i.e. it implies an intent to kill).
Will correct that last tweet to say Alec Baldwin *killed* someone— not murdered someone, as murder carries a different legal definition.

She then went on to claim, “Literally not one single thing that Alec Baldwin has said about Donald Trump and his supporters is going to age well.”

To Candace Owen: the only thing that won’t age well, other than YOUR comments, is the Shrew Face you present every time you make one of your deluded and I’ll-thought out retorts. Plastic surgery will only make you look like Leona Helmsley, without the acumen.

Not only is Don, Jr. a grifter, he’s a sleazy grifter

You are being too kind.

Donald Trump will go down in history as one of the top five worst presidents in US history.
That COMMENT will age well.
michaelmt1009
Oh I think he will be in first place….
nm4047
worst top 5? that implies Trump was only the 5th worst.
Bob
The orange fool even has Nixon and little Bush beat!! Who else could be worse than him?
Max
only the Trump family and their followers would make fun of stuff like this. they’re really immature and dangerously enable the same by their examples.
Mr. Stadnick
trump jr and candace owens are cut of the same vulgar self promoting cloth. Candance Owens parents should be ashamed of her
Mister P
Too bad he can’t sell tshirts to buy class.

One of the greatest tests of self-control for many of us would be running into Douche Jr and not walking up to him and punching his lights out.

I’m not a violent person, but boy, Bengali, you’ve got that exactly right!

But then you’d never be able to get that awful smell off your hands.

The Trumps are nouveau riche(most of the “riche” because they don’t actually pay their bills) and low life slobs. Candace Owens is a never was that, like horse faced Ann Coulter, would be working slinging hash someplace if she didn’t say the most horrible disgusting thing about anyone outside the Trump cult. She is an attention wh…re who has no morals.
wimo
Stupid, poor , silly guy.
GrizzleyMichael
Donald Jr and Candyass Owens deserve one another. They are both toxic and stupid and totally ugly
BaldBarry
I’m totally making this up, so don’t share it. But what if there were a MAGA person on set who loaded the gun to get back at Alec Baldwin for portraying the (now) ex-President?
missvamp
the trumps are beyond sad & sick.
JPB
Debra Messing’s comment was dead on – a rancid piece of garbage – he is what he is.
G-Man
That entire family is nothing but trash, and the kids are almost as bad if not worse than their father. I think it’s time for another Guyana they should all leave the country and take their followers with them.

the whole family is a bunch of low-life incestuous assholes. they should all be loaded onto a spaceship and launched into space never to be heard from again.

Q; Is there no low that this piece of crud won’t stoop to?
…. Nope.

No X 1000 😉

At first, I thought this might be a tit-for-tat back at Baldwin for all his Trump satire and bashing. However, it’s all about dollars at the expense of their misguided base – typical Trump fashion! And their gullible following just eats this all up.

You’re sick Moron, Donnie! Again Karma will get you!

The Trumps are gross. I do believe Alex should be held accountable since he’s the producer of the film and ignored the complaints from crew on the lack of safety.

Karma will get his white trash butt one day. When that day comes, it will be spectacular.

I will simply offer this comment.
I look forward to the day when I can read their obituaries while enjoying chocolate and champagne.
