Donald Trump’s son was smashed in a Twitter blowout by crooner John Legend.
With the internet still ablaze over senior Trump’s canceled Chicago rally, Little Donald thought it’d be fun to criticize protesters. That wasn’t enough he also went in on millennials by mocking the offense they take at racially charged situations.
Legend wasn’t for the foolishness. He wasted no time playing a staccato on Trump Jr. You know he plays the hell out of a piano. The joint was done smoothly and Legend didn’t let up.
.@DonaldJTrumpJr I think they were protesting your racist father. This isn't complicated.

Legend and Trump Jr. are graduates of the same ivy league institution. Perhaps Trump supporters should have read up on Legend before calling him “uneducated.” He was class salutatorian.
Like lost youth following a narcissistic gang leader, Trump supporters worked overtime trolling with even more offensive tweets. Legend got them too.
Yes, Trump trolls. I'm the real racist. https://t.co/xzgMsEPeh4

.@DanielT03571138 @DonaldJTrumpJr the Donalds and I graduated from the same University, funny enough.

Legend got help from wife Chrissy Teigen who shot off a get-out-my-face tweet of her own.

Like Father, Like Son
It isn’t shocking or even mildly surprising that Trump junior is not versed in the art of adulting. As Trump’s son, he has enjoyed privilege. Understandable. But where is it written that one with privilege has to be a jerk? The narcissism that comes from feeling entitled is toxic.
#Shut It Down
I hold out hope that the needed forces will unite and continue to disallow hate-infused Trump rallies across America. It is clear from video and cell phone footage from Chicago that people are tired of mistreatment.
This Ain’t Your Grandparents’ Civil Rights Movement
It was fine when women, people of color, and white Trump protesters were being attacked physically and verbally for “showing up.”
Protesters are fighting back, which even a non-violent person will do in 2016. After all, this ain’t 1964. People are not taking sucker punches from other attendees, and then being thrown to the ground by law enforcement, without notice or reaction.
John Legend, thank you. Well played, sir.
