Donald Trump Jr. is freaking out on Twitter over baby formula.
Yesterday, the ex-president’s eldest son tweeted, “It’s hard to find Baby Formula in Joe Biden’s America. Let that sink in.”

He followed that up a short while later with a second tweet, writing: “You can’t find baby formula in the United States right now but Congress is voting today to send $40 billion to Ukraine. Let’s put America First for a change.”

Baby formula has been in short supply across the country for a while now due to ongoing supply chain issues and labor shortages.
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.
Per the New York Times:
The shortage became acute with a recall of a defective brand this year after at least four babies were hospitalized with bacterial infection and at least two babies died. But the recall has been exacerbated by relentless supply-chain woes and labor shortages. The Datasembly research found that the national out-of-stock rate for baby formula reached 43 percent for the week ending Sunday, up 10 percent from last month’s average.
Why Don Jr. is suddenly so concerned about this is anyone’s guess. He’s never been known for his care or interest in the wellbeing of children. In fact, his own ex-wife, Vanessa, accused him of being an absentee dad in 2018.
Also unclear is what the baby formula shortage has to do with the $40 billion Congress just approved in Ukraine aid or what sort of mental gymnastics Don Jr. had to do to make that connection.
Here’s how people are responding to his feigned outrage…
You may want to talk to the companies that recalled contaminated formula products.

44% of baby formula comes from China and a great deal from EU. Perhaps we( the United States of America) should start making our own necessities like idk baby food, pharmaceuticals,

Can you ask your father if there’s an alternative? He was spot on with his covid treatment suggestions.

How is it President Biden’s fault that baby formula has been in short supply since 2020? 🤔

He was responsible for the salmonella outbreak in the production facility?

Would you prefer people buy recalled baby formula? Or maybe we just shouldn’t regulate baby formula, so there would be no recalls

Weird how the party that doesn’t want Americans to have scientifically proven vaccinations wants their kids to have unsafe baby formula that is not recalled by Abbott
Let that sink in

So republicans want the babies but now they expect the government to feed them?

Seriously, my 4 1/2-year-old niece is more mature!
Cam
OMG!! Baby formula is out? That means every baby in the U.S. will stave to death because there is no other way to feed babys!
Additionally, how sick is the glee Republicans have ANY time they can point to something as a supposed failure of America. They hate this country.
Creamsicle
They’ve set themselves up as a permanent opposition party. Even when they controlled all 3 branches of government, they acted like they were being persecuted. Ironic for the party that hates on victimhood.
But I guess that’s how you gotta do it when the goal is maintaining minority rule as their policies become less and less popular. But what are we going to do? Give power to Democrats who bend over backwards constantly to be seen as bipartisan? Vote 3rd party?
The duopoly continues to keep our politics dumb, divided, and simplistic instead of discussing policy on its own merits.
ZzBomb
@Cream I disagree, tho I would like to see more than 2 parties, the only thing keeping our politics dumb, divided, and simplistic are Republicans. We had plenty of intellectual policy discussions before they became the party of Trump.

Oh Donny-boy. You have one more braincell that Eric. Use it. Or maybe only half? But you both as dumb as f*ck. You should really and clearly stay of the smack / crack. You should really stay off Twitter when you f*cked out. Don’t listen to Kimberly Guilfoyley when you have both been down on the pipe. The ho does not need you and will spit you out when the proverbial hits the fan.

They’re screaming about the lack of baby formula yet want to force women to have more babies, even if they’ve been the victims of rape or incest! The GQP fascist gang are the worst!!!
monty clift
He needs a slap for being that ugly.
Max
and a second one for being stupid.
jcool

Imagine, if you can, what it feels like to look in the mirror in the morning knowing junior was your father and have to face the rest of your waking hours dealing with it. Second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour.
white-queer-african
Where are the defenders of the indefensible? The troll with 15 screennames? Interesting that the moron never come and defend poor old Donny-boy!
Sad and pathetic AND dumb.
BaltoSteve
It actually makes sense why he would cry about a lack of formula, other than being a mixer for him. It’s one of the talking points of the Cult D’Orange. After all, these folks really do follow the whole be fruitful thing by having enough kids that each family can make its own sports team. It’s a talking point they think will pull the heartstrings of their base.
Jack
When has his entitled ass ever actually done anything about it? Take some of those millions you supposedly have and figure out how to improve the formula situation. Only two issues….you don’t have millions and your family only used charities to syphon off money into your pockets. Oh and 3, you snort what money you have up you nose. SIT.

As many mundane articles that have been posted on here about this nobody of a human being why don’t you just admit that someone down at Queerty has a sexual attraction for him. Why do you people find ignorant rants from him, Bruce Jenner, Kelly Conway, Megan McCain and a host of others more important than gay men and women struggling to make ends meet with gas and food prices being what they are but yet their wages didn’t keep up?
Kangol2
Queerty rarely if ever covers the daily struggles of LGBTQ people, probably because such articles would get few to no clicks or responses. They would be a welcome addition to this site, though. But outrage generates responses, as does sex. So they go with the tried and true. Meanwhile, Queerty barely covers all the other threats to LGBTQ people happening all over the US, whether it’s new extreme anti-LGBTQ laws, hateful rhetoric for anti-LGBTQ politicians, the threats LGBTQ teachers and students are facing, and so on. Again, if they don’t think there’ll be page views and responses, we get no such articles.
Invader7
He needs a slap, a beat down and good ole thrashing . For starters. Then Kim needs to dildo this loud mouth d-nag deep & hard !! Cause you know that’s what those male republicans like – a lot..
johncp56
SCUMMY STICKY CREEP!!!! go away foul mouth, you smell of failure
charmin88
Well if he stops being a brat eating all the baby formula there would be some in the store.
Jimmynj
I guess Jr. is afraid he and Mitch McConnell won’t have anything to eat soon.
Brian
The Republican Party doesn’t have any ideas, though. They only offer tweets (especially tweets with lies and conspiracy theories).
This reminds me of the way his dad said that the Republican replacement to Obamacare was “two weeks away…” and then it was another two weeks, then two years, then another two years, and then he lost the election. They have literally nothing substantive to offer — not on any policy issue of any topic.
