Donald Trump Jr. used Instagram Tuesday night to endorse his father's border wall policy, saying the evidence that a wall works is because they protect people from zoo animals.
"You know why you can enjoy a day at the zoo? Because walls work," Trump Jr., 41, wrote in his Instagram story.
President Trump has proposed erecting concrete walls and steel slats to keep undocumented immigrants out of the U.S. Trump Jr.'s post came shortly after the president's Tuesday night Oval Office address, in which he declared a "crisis" at the southern border. Democrats said he had "chosen fear."
Trump Jr. has made controversial analogies on social media before, like when he compared Syrian refugees to a bowl of Skittles, in which some of the candies are poisoned.

The wall analogies can get a little silly at times. This is one of those.
Walls work at almost any scale. Keep the messaging simple.
Only Racist see racism everywhere
The anti-Trump contingent will freak out over this. Again. “Trump said these desperate refugees, human beings who have a spark of humanity, are zoo animals! Finally the Trump voters will see that they supported a racist/sexist/homophobe!”
Normal people will watch the freak out, knowing that the globalist left is pretending to object only to score political points as part of their agenda, and we will pray for real Americans to win - like we won in 2016.
I find this analogy amusing.
Uh, so zoo animals are “DEMANDING” that the walls and fences be taken down? Heard on the Lars Larson show yesterday asuggestion that during PDJT’s final days in the WH (2nd term!) he should EO the fence around the WH be removed if a demoncrat is poised to take over. Who needs a damn fence anyway?
Yes, sort of. The border fence is to keep the animals out.
What I say to anyone who is opposed to a wall:
‘Do you lock the door when you leave your house in the morning?’
Case closed.
I thought the zoo analogy was excellent mind candy. Simple, easy to understand, and it made the point.
It wasn’t Trump Jr’s, though. I saw it on a facebook meme a few days before he repeated it.
Well done Don Jr. Never let the PC police make you a gelding.
This was a stupid, unhelpful remark. An unforced error.
Here’s the reality. It’s not a level playing field. Democrats can say any ol’ thing and get away with it. Republicans have to be more careful.
Not a good argument Don. Presumably humans are a little more clever than the animals in the zoo.
Could you imagine if a group of people when to Nancy Pelosi’s mansion, and start protesting, “Nancy, tear down this wall!”
I have to disagree with Trump Jr here. Even zoo animals are better behaved then some of the miscreants storming our border.
Dumb remark. Take away his Twitter privileges.
Trump is not anti Latin American. They make good immigrants. But everybody has to come in legally and we have to know who they are. Lots of non-Latin Americans flow through too. They are brought by people smugglers from the Middle East and Asia through Cuba, which makes a lot of money off of human trafficking.
The Rats say Walls don’t work so you show them examples where Walls do work.
Of course he is 100% correct, but that won’t stop the DNC Media from twisting it into Trump Jr. comparing the poor Illegal Invaders to Zoo Animals.
The Press in this Country, well everywhere nowadays, would make Goebel’s proud.
>>>What I say to anyone who is opposed to a wall:

Better yet, ask them if they actually have any Exterior Doors on their Houses or any Fences surrounding their Property.
If they answer in the affirmative, ask them when they want you to come by to help them take the Exterior Doors off the hinges and tear down their Fences.
And the animals look back at you through the bars on the fence.
“... like a zoo fence.”
How silly! Not at all alike. Zoo fences keep the animals in.:/
You can have liberty with walls.
It wouldn’t be so easy to walk around naked at home if just anyone could walk in any time.
