People are Having a Field Day on Social Media With Pic of Ivanka Trump and Her Brothers

A serious looking photo of the oldest Trump kids started a bit of an internet firestorm over the long Labor Day weekend.

Donald Trump, Jr. posted a political appeal to Millennials by him and siblings, Eric and Ivanka:

This couldn’t be more true. This election is not about Republican vs Democrat it’s about insider vs outsider. It’s time for a change. No more business as usual in Washington. #millennialsfortrump #studentsfortrump #makeamericagreatagain #MAGA #Trump2016

But not even the photogenic and well-turned-out children of the Republican presidential nominee could escape the shade thrown by people in a social media meltdown over the image.

The Washington Post reports that it all started when a reporter began mocking the photo:

“It started with a couple of jokes from journalists and others noting a somewhat sinister quality in the photo.”

What WaPo didn’t say was that it was one of its own reporters:

America, your choice is between:
1) A taco truck on every corner; or
2) Four years of looking at these people. http://pic.twitter.com/BNSTeU7fNX

A reporter for the reliably lefty Salon followed suit with a crack about the Church of Scientology:

And then it was on.

Their serious look captured the attention of writer, actor and The Daily Show contributor, John Hodgeman, who likened the Trumps to predators eyeing their food:

Millennials = really into being kidnapped by creepy banker guys and their sister and then being stared at like food http://pic.twitter.com/0zHckRqSdB

The Trump kids went quickly from being their telegenic and camera-ready selves to people in a horror film.

Comedian Pat Tobin likened the Trump trio to a trio of horror movies:

This picture of the Trump kids looks like the VHS cover of a late 90s teen horror movie. http://pic.twitter.com/Q6DYoOC1PR

Movie reviewer Adam Frazier decided the Trumps reminded him of another movie, “The Purge”:

Just remember all the good the purge does. #MillennialsForTrump #StudentsForTrump #PurgersForTrump http://pic.twitter.com/VjDmd1MS1v

The horror movie suggestions didn’t end there. Yikes!

Then came the “Children of the Corn” references:

The new Children of the Corn movie looks terrifying. http://pic.twitter.com/12CkPi6tB4

Wait, they’re not done yet:

This movie is just getting scarier and scarier… #TrumpInDetroit #ChildrenOfTheCorn http://pic.twitter.com/ZIMaMZUpWb

The TV critic for The New Yorker switched up the #ChildrenoftheCorn hashtag:

Children of the Con. http://pic.twitter.com/J09iDDi4Ut

Movie maker Darryl Bartley had an idea for how to re-brand the photo:

I really feel like the show has gotten way too dark this season http://pic.twitter.com/4qe7qfoG6Q

Comedian, producer and entertainer, Judd Apatow, had to chime in:

How is Trump an outsider? Billionaires are outsiders? Is this a Menendez brothers biopic poster? http://bit.ly/2cl4VXn

— Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) September 3, 2016

They were likened to a coven of witches:

What you summon when you say “Make America Great Again” three times in front of a mirror http://pic.twitter.com/RfQDX5jxg5

And they became the object of this woman’s envy-fantasy:

Was the original Trump Instagram post a bust after the media and entertainers lampooned it? So far, the post has nearly 18 thousand likes for Don Jr.
