Donald Trump, Jr. is facing harsh criticism after posting an edited video showing his father knocking down President Joe Biden with a golf ball.
The clip begins with former President Trump on a golf course hitting a ball before cutting to footage of Biden from Friday when he stumbled twice on the stairs while boarding Air Force One for a trip to Atlanta to mourn those killed in the Asian massage parlor shoots and celebrate 100 million vaccination shots.
After Biden’s stumble, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield and deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre both said the president was OK, waving off any concerns. Still, the video was widely circulated on the right.
Trump, Jr. was slammed for promoting violence against the current president.
Here’s some of what people were saying about the social media post:

Right before he tripped, Joe Biden successfully got 100 million vaccine shots administered in 58 days and got $242B in stimulus checks sent out to 90 million people.
Your dad got upwards of 500,000 people killed.

So strange that a president and family that casually embraced dumb, violent memes for four years wound up inciting a deadly attack on the Capitol. https://t.co/WRWt6bD1Yz

@DanRather said it best "Tripping while running up the stairs to Air Force One is embarrassing. Tripping while running the response to COVID is deadly. I would argue the latter story should be a bigger headline."
Don't worry about being irrelevant for long, #JusticeIsComing

You do know with every pathetic, bitter, jealous tweet you sink deeper into the shithole that is your life. You fool no one.

Yet Biden's approval is 62 percent. Your dad never broke 50 percent for his entire one-term presidency.
Sad!

A father of 5 posts this. Another day where Jr reminds us that he is devoid of anything resembling judgement or intelligence. I truly feel sorry for your children…

I would be genuinely surprised if you didn't post this – classless as always. Sick!

Remember when your dad (i) couldn't go down a ramp w/o assistance, (ii) couldn't hold a glass, (iii) had to enter AF1 from the cargo hold b/c the stairs were too much, (iv) called so many people by the wrong name, (v) hid the news re being vaccinated? Good times

Your daddy will never love you.

Does every member of the trump family have the intellect of an angry kindergartener?
