Trump Jr slammed for calling Pelosi Marie Antoinette of 21st century, Internet says that's ‘your sister Ivanka’

Retweeting a video from Rep Matt Gaetz, US President Donald Trump's oldest son tweeted, 'Nancy Pelosi is the Marie Antoinette of the 21st-century'

Is Nancy Pelosi the Marie Antoinette of the 21st century? Thanks to Donald Trump Jr, comparisons were sparked between the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and the last Queen of France who was quite infamous in her time as the French accused her of promiscuity and claimed her children of being illegitimate. Retweeting a video from Rep Matt Gaetz, US President Donald Trump's oldest son tweeted: "Nancy Pelosi is the Marie Antoinette of the 21st-century."

In no time, his tweet garnered over 11,000 retweets and 31,000 likes, and the Internet couldn't help but slam him for his statement. Moreover, many others went on to say that it was his sister Ivanka Trump who was more like Marie Antoinette. 

One tweet read: "Donald Trump Jr just accused Nancy Pelosi of being Marie Antoinette. Donald Trump Jr is the same guy who thinks 82% of Americans make more than $400,000. Let him eat s**t." One even went on to say: "Coming from someone whose family home literally looks like inspired Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's palace at Versaille." Mocking the Trump family, one said, "Many people are saying that Melania has flown to NYC with secret service to get her hair done, at a cost to taxpayers of $64,000 per trip. At least Pelosi pays for her own."

If that wasn't enough, the fact that he misspelled Marie as Mary caught many eyeballs and people couldn't stop trolling him. One slammed him saying: "Not to mention, Little Junior's original tweet said "Mary Antoinnette". We aren't dealing with educated people here." Sharing a screenshot, one Twitter user posted, "He def thought her name was Mary Antoinette." Another said, "He had to fix it. He wrote 'Mary Antoinette' the first time."

Comparing Antoinette to Ivanka, one Twitter user said, "The Marie Antoinette of the 21st Century is indisputably your sister Ivanka." Another posted, "Marie Antoinette is trending and I immediately thought of Ivanka." One Twitter user went on to say: "I thought the Marie Antoinette of today was Ivanka Trump, or maybe Lara Trump."

One Twitter user even went on to say, "Marie Antoinette was the Queen of France, your father is the President. Melania or Ivanka fits your comparison MUCH BETTER. Unless you really believe that @SpeakerPelosi actually rules the country which shows how incompetent, how inept @realDonalTrump @POTUS really is."

The debate soon ruffled many feathers. Taking Pelosi's side, Parkland School Safety Advocate Kyle Kashuv said, "Drop all the Marie Antoinette / Nancy Pelosi memes."
