Donald Trump Jr shredded online after asking people to check out his 'Bada$$' Instagram account

By now, we're used to the idiosyncrasies of the Trump clan, but you've really got to hand it to Donald Trump Jr, he still sometimes manages to surprise us all.

This time, the eldest child of the 45th president of the United States has taken to Twitter on his 41st birthday, and asked people to celebrate by... checking out his 'Bada$$' Instagram account.

Yes, you did read that correctly.

To celebrate his big day, Trump Jr retweeted a link to a Daily Caller article titled “It’s Donald Trump Jr.’s Birthday. Celebrate With His Most Bada$$ Instagram Photos To Date.”

The article opens by praising Trump's 'pretty fire Instagram", and then goes on to feature 37 photographs from the 41-year-old's Instagram account, including pictures of him in camo fishing, trophy hunting, and with his family.

It has to be said that retweeting an article that praises your Instagram is rather desperate, which led to the Daily Dot calling it the 'saddest and bleakest' tweet of 2018. We can't really help but agree.

Needless to say, many people on Twitter thought exactly the same thing.
