#Socialites, get into this! Donald Trump Jr. decided to mark his father’s electoral victory in a way that many found completely inappropriate. Instead of opting for a standard celebratory post, he took to social media with a joke referencing domestic violence and his past, tying it to two women who’ve clashed with his father over the years.
On Thursday, Kamala Harris accepted the outcome of the election, officially conceding to Trump while she and Joe Biden promised a smooth transition of power. With Trump set to take the oath of office again in January 2025, the political atmosphere should be one of hope and unity. But leave it to Trump Jr. to stir the pot instead.
He shared a collage on Instagram onFriday night, November 8, that included his father’s infamous mugshot, paired with images of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. The caption read, “Trump arrested for beating two women,” and he followed up with a cheeky remark, “Another indictment coming soon probably…”
Online reactions were divided. While Trump’s loyal base rallied around the post, many others were appalled, denouncing the joke as tasteless and harmful.

Despite the distasteful comments that have been made by many since Harris defeat, the Vice President and President Biden made it clear that a peaceful transition is essential to the democratic process.
Amid the fallout, reports have surfaced that Trump accepted Biden’s invitation to the White House to discuss the transition logistics—a necessary step for moving forward. However, with comments like those from Trump Jr., it’s evident that a respectful and productive political conversation is still a long way off.
