A Thanksgiving message from Donald Trump Jr. has ignited debate due to its critical tone toward the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI).
What Happened: On Friday, Trump shared an image on X showing a family inside a home with an FBI agent outside observing them.
He wrote, "Hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving. Be thankful that the FBI is watching the real domestic, terror threats."
The post by Trump stirred a mix of reactions, with some applauding his stance against the FBI and others questioning his perspective.
"Why do you hate our brave law enforcement officers so much?" asked the campaign group Republicans Against Trump, highlighting the divided reactions.
