[h=1]Donald Trump Jr. compared immigrants to zoo animals in an Instagram post on the border wall[/h]Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday compared immigrants to zoo animals in a controversial Instagram post regarding the wall his father wants to build along the US-Mexico border.
Though the post does not appear on his main profile, a source close to Trump Jr. pointed out to INSIDER that it was shared via the Instagram story feature. It will delete after 24 hours.
Trump Jr.'s post said, "You know why you can enjoy a day at the zoo? Because walls work."
From that quote it looks to me like he was comparing walls with wallsHow did it come to this?
Come to what?
You're a smart guy, do you really need to ask? Almost certainly Don Jr knew what he was doing, that a fatuous comment about the efficacy of walls would be pounced on by rabid critics if given even the tiniest hint of a sliver of anything which might be interpreted as 'racism'; accomplishing absolutely nothing to reduce anyone's opinion of the Trump family and agenda, but absolutely 'proving' to their supporters how irrational the hatred for Trump must be to stoop to such desperate grasping at straws.
Not that I've followed too closely, but it seems that ever since Day One of his candidacy Trump has tried to deal with every scandal or criticism by throwing some other scrap of red meat to the media, some obnoxious remark stupid tweet, and a lot of the time it's worked. How did we come to the point where otherwise intelligent folk are not only STILL playing that game even when it's so obvious, but trying to make mountains out of molehills in order to do so? How did y'all let this president get so far into your heads?
Like father, like son
Like father, like son

He was obviously comparing walls, not people or animals.
Lefties continue to go ape interpreting the harmless of statements of their perceived enemies to mean something evil. They are crooked, biased and hateful that way.
Those are racist interpretations of his words. I believe only intentional ignorance could miss the problem with Jr's statement. In fact, pretending to not see it is a dog whistle. Those three posts each might as well be, "I'm a racist".
Hold on a sec.
His comment about enjoying a day at the zoo because there are walls suggests that on the other side of the wall there are dangerous animals that will attack you if there was no wall. It definitely is a comment that is derogatory about the danger the people on the other side bring.
Keeping in mind that the people on the other side are mostly people running away from horrific conditions and that they include a large number of women and children, it certainly is a remark that is thoughtless and wrong. It is not a harmless statement but one that is deragatory.
Maybe. They’ve already proven their contemptibility to most. Dumbazz comments like jr’s affirm the reasoning for that contempt..... accomplishing absolutely nothing to reduce anyone's opinion of the Trump family ...
To some, it was a comment on the effectiveness of walls. To many, it was a not too subtle comparison of animals (a word Trump has used to describe immigrants) and immigrants. How you interpret it is based on perspective.He was obviously comparing walls, not people or animals.

Just like hearing the phrase "All Americans" and knowing that the person saying it is a racist.
You are filled with anger and hate and you think that those that you hate also hate.
To me that means 82nd Airborne. No idea what you're crying about.
I don't support comparing brown people to zoo animals. You do.
Why do you say that? Can you post the words that I said that actually support the lie that you post?
When a person is filled with hate as you are, you think others hate as well.
We don't hate others. We only why you do.
If you interpret it by the rules of the English language, he was comparing walls to walls.
If you compare it gripped by hate and bias as you are, then you see hate and bias.
Hate and bias are very corrosive things to embrace. You may not understand this when you are poisoned by them.
You know you're at an internet debate website, right?
I do know that.
I also know that you're posting lies.
You seem committed to supporting your hate and bias using lies.
I am only wondering why you feel the need to do this.
100% wrong. Factually, jr’s tweet could be interpreted either way I described.
Your apparent bias has obviously led you to accept the first interpretation I described. Hate and bias have corroded your ability to reason.
Funny thing... everyone says that about you and you say that about everyone. Weird, huh?
You are confusing truth with fact. They are not the same. Factually, as jr has a history of trolling, his words can be interpreted as supporting the use of walls or comparing immigrants to animals. To argue otherwise is disingenuous and/or stupid.That is not true.
What anyone infers from jr’s comments is their prerogative. Jr is no genius, but I do give him credit enough to form a simple double entendre meant to rile anti-Trumpers.What he said compared walls to walls. What you infer from what he said is on you, not him.
A failed mind reader and English tutor. I don’t hate Trump. He isn’t worthy of the energy that requires. I disdain Trump.That is the simple truth of it and you cannot bring yourself to accept it.
You hate Trump. I get it.
It isn’t enlightenment, genius, it’s being clear eyed and willing to see/acknowledge things the way they are. Try it sometime if you can.If you cannot manufacture rationalization for your hate then it is just hate. With your rationalization, it apparently seems to you to be more like like enlightened review.
It is not enlightened and is not review. It is hate and your hate is manufactured.
As long as there is an effective barrier of any type, I’d feel safe. How about you? Are walls the only things that make you feel safe?Out of curiosity, how safe do you feel zoos would be without walls?
How safe would the world be without walls? Can you see a wall from the place you are seated right now?
