Eric Trump tried to make some kind of point on Thursday when he shared a tweet about unsubscribing from the email list of Douglas Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris.
Ex-President Donald Trump’s son shared what appeared to be a screenshot showing a successful unsubscribe. Checked was a box explaining it was because “the emails are inappropriate.”
“Second Gentleman” — the formal moniker for Emhoff — was underlined.
Trump captioned his post with the #unsubscribe hashtag.

The provenance of the photo is unknown.
But critics quickly took the ex-president’s scion to task, with many of them just very, very puzzled:
What did you find inappropriate, about a newsletter for which you signed up?

If the problem is who it’s from then why’d you subscribe in the first place
