Donald Trump’s son used an obvious Super Bowl prediction to troll the past presidential election results.
Donald Trump Jr., obvious son to Donald Trump, has tuned out politics for one of America’s most-watched event, the Super Bowl. Though he wasn’t shone as in attendance for the game, the President and Vice President were both seen at NRG Stadium. The businessman that he is, Trump Jr. showered his father’s former rival with a stat by the Wall Street Journal.
The post used by Trump Jr. revolves around the Falcons’s chance of walking away with the Lombardi Trophy. As scientific as it may seem, the Falcons had a near 92-percent chance of winning the Super Bowl. The game, mind you, was already in the third quarter and Atlanta led by a couple of possessions.

After this tweet went out, the Patriots mounted a comeback of historic proportions and won Super Bowl LI in overtime.
The insult is fairly obvious – let everyone know that his father was the underdog. Like the Atlanta Falcons, Donald Trump wasn’t in the majority to win the presidency. Little did everyone know that Trump was about to shock the nation and the world. Likewise, the Falcons weren’t heavy favorites to put a whooping on the Super Bowl veterans, the New England Patriots.
It’s not surprising that Donald Trump Jr. wanted the world to know that his dad overcame adversity. But the Wall Street Journal isn’t exactly the best source to quote when it comes to sports. With all due respect to the publication, the stat was tweeted way after halftime. By then, the Falcons already had a healthy lead on the Patriots.

Meanwhile, Trump Jr. will have some ammunition against his rivals with what is probably the most obnoxious sports tweet of 2017. That being said, he called his shot and ended up being right — so more power to the man, if that’s at all possible.
