Donald Trump Jr posts bizarre Independence Day Instagram pictures of his dad

Fresh off killing the term 'lit,' the first son has recreated a viral Internet meme with his father's image

In the spirit of Independence Day, Donald Trump Jr shared some artwork of his father on Instagram and attempted to “take out" yet another term created by millennials.

The first son posted a cartoon image of Donald Trump sprinkling red, white and blue stars over his arm in a plain white t-shirt and black sunglasses. The president's pose and attire was symbolic of Salt Bae, a Turkish internet superstar and chef with steakhouses in Miami and New York City, who is known for sprinkling salt onto meat in an elaborate fashion and recreating his pose with celebrities.

Mr Trump Jr captioned the photo using the term "Freedom Bae," replacing "Salt bae" with a term he apparently created for his father, who he described as "sprinkling a bit of freedom for all of us to enjoy.”

The first son jokingly added that he was continuing his “quest to take out pop culture terms,” after recently stirring controversy over his use of the phrase “lit” on social media.

"OMG! Just when you thought this week couldn’t get more lit… I give you Anthony Kennedy's retirement from #SCOTUS," he tweeted a week ago.

Mr Trump Jr received backlash online for using “lit” – a term commonly used to describe something that’s fun and exciting – for a news event as polarising as the Supreme Court justice’s retirement.

The post spurred headlines from millennial news sites like Mashable reading, "Donald Trump Jr. has officially killed the word 'lit.'"

The president’s son also shared another cartoon of the commander in chief holding a firearm in one arm and a bald eagle in the other, standing over wreckage as a US flag flutters behind him. "This is amazing," he wrote in a caption.

This is far from the first time Mr Trump Jr has shared MAGA-themed memes and cartoons across his social media channels. The first son regularly posts commentary about the president’s White House tenure, often mocking the Democratic Party and critics of his father.
