‘It feels like a threat’: Trump Jr uses wall of guns as backdrop for video attacking teacher...

Donald Trump Jr has drawn criticism for using a display of guns as the backdrop for a video attacking teachers’ unions, with some calling the choice particularly tasteless “in the era of school shootings” and others suggesting it resembles the sort of video posted by “extremists”.

On Sunday, Mr Trump shared a video entitled “These teachers unions are out of control” in which he criticised unions for speaking out against opening schools with the Covid pandemic still raging.

With the US poised to cross half a million Covid deaths on Monday, the son of former president Donald Trump called union opposition to schools reopening “all political”.

“Teachers unions and those representing them have definitely failed our children in terms of education and everything else... certainly failed the science they are supposed to be teaching us… it is all political,” Don Jr said in the video.
