Last weekend Donald Trump Jr. decided to connect with his inner moron — with the help of Sen. Ted Cruz, (R-Texas), by posting a picture on Instagram of himself mocking an image of former president Barack Obama emblazoned on a giant cookie. The image has since gone viral and has upset more than a few people, including the owner of the Dallas restaurant where the photo was taken, Mediaite reports.
Restaurant Owner Leaps Into The Fray
Stephan Corseau, the owner of Le Bilboquet, which is the restaurant in question, was upset by the utterly tasteless photo (pun not intended) and said so on his own Instagram account.
“Let me be clear, I share your indignation without any reservation,” Corseau said.
“Both Donald Trump Jr. and Ted Cruz were attending a birthday celebration of one of our regular patrons who rented out our venue for a private event. The party was not for either one of them nor was it any kind of partisan rally.”
“Unfortunately I was not working yesterday and could not intervene in the unfortunate circumstances that unfolded but I believe I owe you an explanation and an apology.”
The photo was taken at the eatery during a private birthday party for a patron who is a friend of Trump’s, and the Obama-emblazoned cookie cake came from outside the restaurant.
And this isn’t the first time Trump Jr. has upset people with his social media comments regarding sugary treats, GuideLive notes. During Halloween, he posted this tweet in an attempt to mock progressives.
I’m going to take half of Chloe’s candy tonight & give it to some kid who sat at home. It’s never to early to teach her about socialism. pic.twitter.com/3ie9C0jv2G

He’s also taken to Twitter to mock Syrian refugees by comparing them to Skittles. And this is horrible. People aren’t candy, for criminy’s sake. He has cruelly hunted endangered animals alongside his equally worthless brother. It’s best to remember that like their father, these two men have few, if any, redeeming qualities.
So that photo of Trump Jr. sneering at Obama isn’t particularly shocking; it’s merely another example of how disgusting he is.
