Donald Trump Jr. speaks to MSNBC (screen grab)
Internet users on Thursday enjoyed a laugh at the expense of Donald Trump Jr. after he angrily tweeted that his father had been subjected to an "attempted coup."
Trump Jr. made his remarks in response to reports that former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe confirmed that members of the Justice Department discussed removing President Donald Trump from office.
"When is someone going to finally investigate the investators [sic]?" Trump Jr. asked. "If this isn’t and [sic] attempted coup I don’t know what is. Regardless of party if you’re not troubled by this, you’re part of the problem."
