Donald Trump Jr.'s tweet about socialism and candy leads to Twitter backlash
We guess that’s one way to celebrate Halloween.
On Wednesday night, presidential son Donald Trump Jr. tweeted a photo of daughter Chloe, dressed as a police officer, with her trick or treating haul.
“I’m going to take half of Chloe’s candy tonight give it to some kid who sat at home,” he said. “It’s never to (sic) early to teach her about socialism.”
Chloe, 3, is the youngest of Trump Jr.’s five children.
His tweet led to tens of thousands of responses, with many questioning his definition of socialism:
That’s not how socialism works. You might want to have someone explain it to you before you try to teach it to a kid.

And pointing out the concept of sharing:
I think sharing with those that are less fortunate than you is a universal human value. Perhaps you could try her that.

And reminding that trick or treating generally means someone is giving away candy for free:
You mean the candy that she got for free out of the goodness of strangers’ hearts? 😂😂😂
