Donald Trump Jr. Slammed After Posting 'Racist' Michelle Obama Joke
Donald Trump Jr. was slammed yesterday after sarcastically celebrating Super Bowl LVIII by sharing a wildly insensitive joke about former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Trump Jr., 46, posted on Instagram an old photo of former Pittsburgh Steeler's linebacker Levon Kirkland with the text: "I found this rare Michelle Obama rookie card."
He also wrote a caption under the post, saying, "Just a little Super Bowl nostalgia. LOL. #superbowl #superbowl2024."
"Deer fact checkers I'm told that this is a joke, so please treat it accordingly though I personally am not 100% sure," he continued.

A number of Instagram users were less than pleased with the joke, leaving fiery responses, including, "Michelle Obama is a better human being than anyone with a trump name will ever dream to be."
"This is one of the most offensive and blatantly racist posts I've seen in a long time," another user commented.
Trump Jr.'s post is the reflection of a long standing rumor that Michelle Obama, 60, was born a male, alluding she is transgender. Former Republican candidate and politician Omar Navarro has spoken about this publicly on X, formerly known as Twitter, rallying his followers to "Retweet if you think Michelle Obama is really a man."

The late comedian and TV host Joan Rivers was also vocal about her opinion on the matter. When she was prompted to weigh in on whether America would see a gay or transgender president, she answered, "We already have."
There has been zero proof that the Chicago native is transgender.
