Donald Trump Jr. continues to prove that he probably shouldn’t tweet, and on Thursday morning, he retweeted some questionable claims about the 2020 Democratic platform from a random Twitter user.
“So 2020 dem platform is no private healthcare, kill fully formed 2 seconds from birth babies, 70% marginal tax rates on people they hate, ban nearly every gun, also you’re racist,” wrote the person on Twitter. “This is basically a right wing parody of a dem platform and it’s real.”
It’s difficult to know where to even start in picking apart the inaccuracies and exaggerations in the tweet, but that’s neither here nor there because Don Jr. didn’t exactly help when he added his two cents in. “It’s almost like a funny version of an S&L skit,” added Kimberly Guilfoyle’s boyfriend in a decidedly failed attempt to lambast Saturday Night Live.

Does … Does Don Jr. really not know what the “N” in “SNL” stands for? It seems too egregious to even chalk it up as an honest mistake.
The tweet went viral when this fact was pointed out by Mashable reporter Matt Binder on Twitter, who immortalized it in a screenshot lest Don Jr. realize his mistake and delete. (The tweet is still live at the time of this writing.)

Of course, others were also quick to point and laugh on Twitter:

Donald Jr was today-years-old when he learned the N in SNL isn’t short for “and.”

Former SNL cast-member Bobby Moynihan also succinctly weighed in:
You dummy.

Many have been speculating whether or not Don Jr. is next up on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s list — particularly in light of former Trump campaign advisor Roger Stone’s arrest — and if that’s true, he’ll soon have bigger worries than an embarrassing tweet.
