Times Donald Trump Jr. Slammed Celebs & Angered The Internet

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson put Donald Trump on blast in a video about the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 in an Instagram video, and he endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020. That likely put him on the Trump family radar as a critic, which might explain why in 2022, Trump Jr. started sharing disparaging posts about Johnson when Johnson distanced himself from podcaster Joe Rogan when footage of Rogan using the n-word was made public.

Trump Jr. took to Instagram and posted a doctored picture of the actor with long purple hair and a nose ring with the caption: “Imagine someone who would throw a good friend under the bus to appease some woke d-bag lunatic on Twitter?” But Trump Jr. didn’t stop there. Amidst the drama between Rogan and The Rock, Johnson deleted an old transphobic tweet from 2011, which Trump Jr. then reposted on Twitter, saying, “you can’t just try to quietly delete transphobic attacks without giving a groveling apology and expect to ever work in Hollywood again.” Some defended Johnson: “This tweet happened 10 years ago. People grow and change as they gain knowledge,” one person tweeted.

Another tweeted about Trump Jr.’s hypocrisy: “You’re offended? After all the things daddy has said? Maybe say this to The Rock in person. What do you say??” And others thought that Trump Jr. was just posting about Johnson for attention.
