Someone fixed the Trump offensive Skittles image and now it’s perfect

This one is accurate.

This week Donald Trump Jr. shared a horrifically offensive tweet with an image which compared Syrian refugees to tainted skittles.

The image, even for a member of the Trump family, shocked a lot of people.

In a brilliant turn of events, it turns out that the image Trump used for his outrageous illogical point, was in fact taken by a photographer who is a refugee himself.

Someone has cleverly edited the picture so that the message it portrays is actually accurate.

The simple, effective edit means that the image is now one that people can agree with and share.

The text now reads:

“If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you one very orange skittle wanted to deport all the green skittles and called the purple skittles rapists and said that ‘a lot of skittles are saying’ that the skittle president is really an M&M and that same orange skittle was given one million dollars by his father and still filed for bankruptcy four times and refuses to release his tax returns because he’s not as rich as he claims to be,

Would you elect the orange skittle as President of the United States?”

Much better.
