While addressing terror attacks outside Kabul airport that claimed over 100 lives on Thursday, President Joe Biden paid tribute to the at least 13 US troops who are believed to have been killed in the incident. The emotional president also said that he would continue evacuating people from the country and vowed to “hunt down” those responsible for the attack.
“We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay,” Biden said before asking people to join him in a minute’s silence to remember the troops.
While it was a moving moment for some, Donald Trump Jr decided to mock the president and took to Twitter to proclaim: “This is what weakness looks like.”
Naturally, people were quick to put the former president’s son in his place over his tasteless and profoundly ridiculous comment.
Check some of the responses below.

Your despicable father faked bone spurs to avoid military service… If that's not being a weak coward then I don't know what is!

Why? What’s weak about showing empathy for someone else? What’s weak about showing that the President is a human being who feels the pain of American families and Afghan families? What’s weak about him not making everything about himself?

We get it, you were raised by a sociopath who never said he loved you, you can stop providing examples

It's what empathetic leadership looks like.
You wouldn't understand Jr.

Empathy for our 13 dead troops and 60 dead innocent Afghan civilians is not "weakness." It's tragic that you are such an emotionally stunted person that you have no sorrow for all the losses in the Kabul attack. It was your father's deal with the Taliban that put us here.

I know it’s odd to you but That’s what a man who’s own son served and who buried 2 of his children and first wife looks like. That’s what a man who goes to church every weekend looks like.

It’s called an “emotion” actually, and expressing them is healthy because it connects us to other human beings.
My girlfriend is a psychologist and I’m sure she would be happy to recommend some nice books with lots of pictures to explain further ☺️💅🏼

This is what a father who loves his son looks like.
I know you've never seen that.

Hey Don Jr.
This is what weakness, fueled by white supremacy, and incited by your daddy looks like.

Oh, Mr. Junior.
Poor, poor Mr. Junior.
There are more emotions than “rage” and “coke rage” and “killing animals because Daddy never hugged me”.
It’s sad that the only hole bigger than the one in your soul is the one in your septum.

You confuse empathy and solemnity with weakness. It sure beats treating service members with contempt. pic.twitter.com/bYKdnYoh5e

You disgusting POS! @POTUS is showing empathy & in silent prayer. You have no soul spewing this out of your mouth. Losing our military heroes, our allies, women and children means nothing to you, you selfish loser. Get help.

2017 four US soldiers got ambushed in Niger. tRump just shrugged, didn’t talk about it for almost 2 weeks, called the widows, argued with one of them calling her a liar, told them they knew this could happen & left their bodies there… pic.twitter.com/40z8qUu7gf

Shut your pie hole. Daddy was a draft dodging coward and zero trumps have served their country. Nancy boy.
