Donald Trump Jr. Jokes About Violence Toward Harris, Clinton After Father’s Election Wins

Donald Trump Jr. on Friday celebrated his father’s two presidential election wins by joking about violence toward Vice President Kamala Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
On social media, Republican Donald Trump’s eldest son shared an image of his father’s 2023 mug shot combined with pictures of the defeated Democrats.
The image featured the text “Trump arrested for beating two women,” referring to Donald Trump’s victories in the 2024 and 2016 elections.
“Another indictment coming soon probably….” Donald Trump Jr. wrote in a caption to the image.
This comes as a report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank tracking online hate, found a surge in “online abuse and harassment” toward women amid Donald Trump’s victory over Harris this week.
According to ISD, the rise in hate included use of the phrase “your body, my choice,” which white supremacist Nick Fuentes — who in 2022 dined with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida — posted online Tuesday.
The president-elect and his allies used the final days of the presidential campaign to insult women such as Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

Donald Trump Jr., who looks to play a key role in building his father’s Cabinet, has previously used social media to target Michelle Obama, another prominent woman in the Democratic Party.
Last year, he made headlines by seeming to entertain a conspiracy theory about the former first lady being a man, though he said he was “just kidding.”

And in February, he shared an image comparing Obama to an ex-NFL linebacker in a post that critics called misogynistic.
“I found this rare Michelle Obama rookie card,” the image read, with Donald Trump Jr. writing: “Just a little Super Bowl nostalgia. LOL.”
“Deer fact checkers I’m told that this is a joke, so please treat it accordingly though I personally am not 100% sure,” he added.
