America’s favorite inaccurate political meme son, Donald Trump Jr., posted today about his father’s decision to declare a national emergency to builed a border wall.
Using a Kermit sipping tea meme, Trump Jr. compared his father’s national emergency to the passing of Obamacare, suggesting Republicans didn’t have a say in that.

And now he is being roasted for his lack of political knowledge.
Obamacare was passed after Congress voted on it, the result of an election that Democrats won decisively. In an election in 2016 that Republicans won decisively, they still didn’t pass wall funding.
He’s referring to the bill that passed both houses of Congress, was properly signed into law with a Presidential signature, and appropriated via traditional methods…

He is also comparing apples to oranges because Obamacare and the wall have (very) different agendas:

It’s also very dishonest to equate a really unprecedented use of emergency powers, an executive action, with something passing through both bodies of the very resoundingly elected legislature.

Hey, does anybody else remember when Congress was voting to kill this and their constituents lobbied them not to do it and that’s why we still have it? 🙋♂️ https://t.co/Uf19urFhAC

Some are commenting on his intelligence (or lack thereof):

For those who insist that rich people are rich because they’re so bright, just a reminder that Junior really is stupid. Not just “not as bright as your average rich guy” but just stupid. Does he not remember congress passing the ACA? https://t.co/lrojd79qrw

This pud is dumber than his old man. We just had an election that President Deals made entirely about the wall and voters rejected it in a record popular vote landslide. Then the new Congress carrying out the will of their voters refused to fund it. https://t.co/xT8RAaDh4M

Remember when people thought your father was a billionaire because he was a great deal maker, and now they know neither is true? Enjoy incarceration, Chinless! https://t.co/p0JIwcg7it

Don Jr.’s tweet came as President Trump announced that he will declare a national emergency to fund his forever anticipated border wall.
The president will also sign the congressional spending bill that averts another government shutdown.
