Donald Trump Jr. drew ridicule on Twitter on Tuesday for his hot take on the conservatorship that pop star Britney Spears has been under for the last 13 years, and which she spoke out against in court last week.
Former President Donald Trump’s son attempted to politicise the control that Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, has exerted over her life with this post, in which he spelled the singer’s first name wrong:
How many Americans rightly concerned about Brittany Spears’ conservatorship had no problems with America’s conservatorship under blue state governors for the past year???

Critics were confused by Trump Jr.’s false equivalence, and angered by his typo:
Britney! You could at least try to get it right

If you actually care about Britney’s situation, there are a million things you can do to help her. Don’t use her unimaginable pain to to push whatever narrative you have

It's Britney, not Brittany

Brittany?
Seriously, you don’t know how her name is spelled?
Do you even remember who she is, Junior?

That’s a stretch, Jr.
