Don Jr’s sweet family photo sparks debate as fans spot detail: ‘Not next to the child!’
Donald Trump Jr. sparked some controversy over the weekend after sharing a series of photos featuring two of his children.
The eldest son of the president-elect posted the images on Instagram, where he boasts over 7.9 million followers.
“Game night and indoor s’mores!” the 47-year-old executive vice president of the Trump Organization wrote in the caption, just days after introducing his new girlfriend, Bettina Anderson, at a New Year’s Eve event in Mar-a-Lago.
In the photos shared on Saturday, the 38-year-old Anderson was absent, with Trump Jr. seen instead with his two youngest children, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, 10.
Also missing from the pictures was Trump Jr.’s former fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, whom he began dating in 2018 and got engaged to in 2020.
Though the posts seemed relatively harmless, they quickly drew criticism from observers, not due to the presence of snacks, but because of a single canister of Zyn.
Zyn is a brand of nicotine pouch that is placed between the gums and lip, which has become increasingly popular among conservatives. The container was visible on the table where the family was snacking and playing games.
