Donald Trump Jr. wants to take candy from a baby

Donald Trump Jr. decided to make another attempt at a candy-based political metaphor, this time enlisting his three-year-old daughter, Chloe. Trump Jr. tweeted Tuesday that he was going to give half of his daughter’s candy haul to a child who’d stayed at home in order to “teach her about socialism.”

Many Twitter users were quick to point out that this isn’t exactly — or at all — how socialism works.
