Donald Trump Jr. doesn’t seem to know how Halloween works.
The whole point of trick-or-treating, of course, is that children get candy ― free ― from friendly neighbors.
But in a tweet Tuesday, the eldest son of President Donald Trump indicated that he would take half of his daughter’s Halloween haul and give it away to teach her about socialism.
He wrote:
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

The tweet quickly backfired, with more than 30,000 comments. Many of them looked a lot like these:
You mean the candy that she got for free out of the goodness of strangers' hearts?

Take 80% of her candy and give it to the top 1% of trick or treaters. You know like your dads' tax plan.

I think sharing with those that are less fortunate than you is a universal human value. Perhaps you could try her that.

Fill her bucket with old candy left by her great-grandfather, then explain that she has more because she's smarter than all the other kids. https://t.co/0lbhHYyFe4

We had candy left over. My daughter asked to take it to school to share w/kids whose families don't have $ for luxuries. I'm a socialist. pic.twitter.com/P0uAZTVYMz

She was given candy for free.
You inherited all your money.
You met with Russian spies.
It’s “too”. https://t.co/Bsf5wkQxST

Good prep for when Mueller takes half her family and gives it to prison. Makes her costume a tad ironic though.

My man, "socialism" was her getting that free candy in the first place. You taking half for reasons she can't understand is capitalism https://t.co/w9x9zB0xLA

Better idea: have her take out loans, use the money to buy and eat candy, then default and declare bankruptcy. That's the Trump way. https://t.co/juVD1FMq2o

Sick to use your kid for political ends.

When I was sick on Halloween when I was 6 and had to stay home, my brother gave me half his candy. If her sister was sick, would she share?

Lesson # 1: Halloween candy is given FREE to children by people who pay for it with their own money.

It's "TOO," not "TO." As in it's never TOO late for Chloe to teach you 2nd-grade English.

Halloween candy are literally handouts you wooden clod

Why don't you take a third of it and give it all to people who already have billions of pieces of candy

One day, you’re going to have to explain to your daughter that you tweeted a picture of her as a mean-spirited joke. Good luck with that.
