Trump Junior compares Syrian refugees to poisonous sweets

Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump’s son proved today that he is following in his father’s footsteps when he tweeted an image of the popular children’s sweets “Skittles” and wrote: “If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful? That’s our Syrian refugee problem.”

The 38-year-old added later that the image says it all. “Let’s end the politically correct agenda that doesn’t put America first. #trump2016.”

Trump’s father has called for an end to the acceptance of refugees from Syria as well as “extreme vetting” of immigrants.

The makers of Skittles commented: “Skittles are candy. Refugees are people. We don’t feel it’s an appropriate analogy.”
