Donald Trump Jr has stirred controversy yet again, this time with a distasteful joke about actress Sydney Sweeney that left many feeling uneasy. The remark, which involved a reference to his father, former US President Donald Trump, was widely condemned as 'creepy' and inappropriate.
The incident unfolded on social media, where Trump Jr's comment quickly went viral. Fans and critics alike expressed their disgust, with some describing the joke as 'nauseating' and 'utterly tone-deaf'.
Public Reaction
The backlash was swift, with many users calling out the insensitivity of the remark. 'How can someone think this is okay?' one Twitter user wrote. Others pointed out the power dynamics at play, questioning why such comments continue to be made about young women in the public eye.
Previous Controversies
This isn't the first time Trump Jr has found himself in hot water over his remarks. Known for his provocative statements, he has frequently been criticised for crossing the line between humour and offensiveness.
Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney, who rose to fame through her roles in hit TV series, has yet to respond to the incident. The actress has previously spoken out about the objectification of women in Hollywood, making Trump Jr's joke all the more jarring.
