On Monday night, CNN host Anderson Cooper compared President Donald Trump to a dictator whose son reportedly drove around and shot people who were not supportive enough as the dictator’s regime came to an end.

“In the mid-90s, I think it was like ’96, I was in Kinshasa in the waning days of Mobutu, and Mobutu was a pretty awful dictator and when he finally fled the country and the rebels were moving to take the capital, his son drove around in a pick-up truck with a machine gun and settling scores with people he felt with people had not been supportive enough with Mobutu,” Cooper said. “Thankfully, it hasn’t come to that here, but I can’t believe we’re in a situation where a transfer of power is not—I can’t believe we are in this situation here—it just seems so petty and I know it’s about Georgia and I know it’s about setting up grievance politics that will perhaps allow him to run in four years.”

Donald Trump Jr. responded to Cooper by posting Cooper standing in waist-deep water during a hurricane in 2008—presumably for dramatic effect—while the camera crew stood in water that was only up to their ankles.

The president’s son added numerous clown emojis to his tweet, which is another way of calling Cooper a clown show.

That photo has some history behind it as Donald Trump Jr. trolled Cooper with it back in 2018, which sent Cooper into a bit of a meltdown on air where Cooper proceeded to make false claims.
