Donald Trump Jr. says border wall is like a zoo fence protecting you from animals
Donald Trump Jr. is getting called out for an Instagram message he posted that compared the proposed border wall to a zoo fence.
“You know why you can enjoy a day at the zoo?” the son of President Donald Trump wrote in an Instagram story on Tuesday night. “Because walls work.”
Trump, who in the past has compared immigrants to a bowl of Skittles in which some of the candies were poisoned, was quickly slammed on social media:

The son of the President of the United States just compared immigrants seeking asylum to zoo animals.

Just the first son equating poor brown people and children to animals. I wonder if this is gonna be received with the same outrage the “let’s impeach the mf” remark did.

Actually I can't enjoy a day at the zoo right now. The National Zoo is currently closed due to the #TrumpShutdown
