Just minutes after President Trump released a blistering statement attacking Steve Bannon’s mental state, Trump’s eldest son mocked the former White House chief strategist for losing a Republican seat in Alabama.

Donald Trump Jr. retweeted Bloomberg reporter Sahil Kapur, who said Alabama now has “one U.S. senator who is a Democrat and another who used to be a Democrat,” referencing Sens. Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Doug Jones (D-AL) who was just sworn into office on Wednesday.

The tweets were referencing Bannon’s efforts to help the controversial former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore beat out the incumbent Republican Luther Strange — whom Trump backed — in the state’s Republican primary election. Bannon continued that support of Moore until the vicious end of the Alabama special election last month, despite a slew of allegations of sexual misconduct against the candidate. Jones won the election, becoming the first Democrat to win a Senate race in the deep red state in 25 years.

Moments later, Trump Jr. retweeted former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, who essentially claimed that people should have paid attention to his criticisms of Bannon this summer. Scaramucci served in the White House for less than two weeks and was fired after he gave a profanity-laden interview to The New Yorker, claiming Bannon was trying to “suck his own cock.” Trump Jr. said Scaramucci “pretty much nailed it” with his comments on Bannon.

1. donnie jr., how about your daddy who first lost his candidate in the primary and then lost...

...the general election? At least Bannon only lost once in Alabama.

2. Oh Donny boy, shut. the. fuck. up...

...each and every time you open your mouth or tweet, you make it so much worse for yourself.

3. Too bad he wasnt provided a ghost writer like his daddy

4. Wow Jr. that's some rough NYC streetwise trash talk there

5. "Trumps eldest son mocked the former White House chief strategist for losing...

a Republican seat in Alabama"

how and in what reality was it ever a good idea to run a known pedophile as the repuke candidate?

I just lover republican circular firing squads. LOL

6. They have no discipline. They should be keeping their mouths shut right now. nt

7. I wonder whether it's smart to provoke Bannon like that

Something must have happened besides the Alabama race that soured the relation between these two deplorable sides. I don't know whether he has anything on them but maybe Bannon has his means to retaliate as well. The Trumps (father and two eldest sons) seem to be people who don't realize when it's better to stop stepping on a snake because of the privileged lives they had.

Bannon was dishing it out as well, as classy as the Trumps.

8. Donny Jr.

is going for the biggest chuck of the will. I hate people who grovel.

9. Thats it?

That’s all little Donny Jr.’s got? I’m sure Bannon is quaking in his boots...

10. Soon Reaper will tell Jr that

his (step) Momma wears combat boots!

11. This family is bloody insane

They don't care how many enemies they make. I'm quite sure Bannon knows things that the Trump family doesn't want made public. What incentive does Bannon have to be quiet when the family denigrates him every way they can?

They thing they can throw people under the bus willy nilly and there will never be any repercussions. The hubris is mind-numbing, as well as extremely stupid.

12. Strange only "incumbent" by appointment. A key distinction that should be made by journalists. . nt
