Trump son compares Syrian refugees to poisoned candies

Agence France-Presse . Washington

Donald Trump’s eldest son triggered an online storm with a tweet comparing Syrian refugees to a bowl containing an assortment of tainted and untainted candies.
‘This image says it all,’ Donald Trump Jr, 38, wrote Monday, in a tweet showing a picture of a white bowl filled with the popular, rainbow-coloured Skittles candies.
Written above the image is: ‘If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful? That’s our Syria refugee problem.’
The Twitter post—showing the familiar ‘Trump-Pence 2016’ logo with the presidential campaign slogan ‘Make America Great Again!’—was met with immediate scorn from users of the popular micro-blogging site.
‘I’m not even big on Skittles but now I will buy up every single packet,’ wrote @SarahSahim.
