@DonaldJTrumpJr 40 people are dead and you’re using this as an opportunity to indict the media? every day you reach a new low.— Marisa Kabas (@Marisa Kabas) 1552644231
To prove that Trump Jr likes to pick and choose his battles on issues of this nature, here are a series of tweets where he either names a terrorist or shares a link to a story about a terror attack.
