Donald Trump Jr. prompted mocking responses with his call to end a particular mindset.

President-elect Donald Trump’s eldest son this weekend asked on X, formerly Twitter: “Now that woke is dead can we take out perpetual victim mentality next???”

Critics immediately pointed a finger at Trump Jr.’s father, the self-described billionaire mogul who for years now has played the victim card to great effectculminating in his imminent return to the White House following his 2024 election victory over Democratic rival Kamala Harris.

“Do you mean your father? He is the leader in perpetual victim mentality!” replied one commenter.

Said another: “That is literally your dad.”

Trump Jr. played a key role in his father’s winning campaign and is reportedly helping to craft his controversial Cabinet. He won’t be directly involved in the government himself, though, with reports saying he is joining a venture capital firm that will invest in conservative companies.
