The topic is certainly not very funny — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump strafing parents who lost their son, a captain in the U.S. Army, in a bomb attack in Iraq.
It was an appalling overreaction to Khzir and Ghazala Khan, who spoke against Trump at the Democratic National Convention last week, but at least it kept him in the news, right?
Among the things Trump reacted to was an assertion by Khzir Khan that he had not made any sacrifices. Trump’s answer to that was that his creation of jobs was a sacrifice.
But Twitter was not having any of that less-than-stellar response, launching a new hashtag almost immediately called #TrumpSacrifices.
It’s an ugly time, folks, but it is somewhat heartening that Twitter — while too often a place of bile and insanity — is also a venue for letting off steam with some humor.
Here are 10 of the best #TrumpSacrifices I found so far, among some really tasteless ones (please leave Ivanka alone) and one supporting Trump, too:
