Donald Trump Jr tweeted his discontent with the liberal nature of Super Bowl ads – just moments after the game started.
“A commercial [sic] in and it’s already woketopia, ”he tweeted adding the eye-rolling emoji and the hashtag for the game.
It was not clear when he called and what ad he was referring to, due to the number of commercials that saturate the preparation and the start of the big game.
Some of this year’s ads channel social awareness issues, hence the accusation of being “awake”, others refer to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
While many of the traditional Super Bowl advertisers chose to stay out of this year’s broadcast, including Budweiser and Coca-Cola, at least 15 new advertisers were ready to fill the gap.
Twitter users were quick to offer advice to Mr. Trump, including that perhaps he should turn off the TV if he were “turned on”.
A tweet asked what he would like to be canceled now, mocking complaints about “canceling culture” by many on the right of the political spectrum.
It is unclear where Mr. Trump is watching this year’s Super Bowl. In previous years, his father, former President Donald Trump, hosted lavish parties at his golf club in West Palm Beach.
His 2020 party cost taxpayers $ 3.4 million, including security costs. Tickets for the event were sold to club members for $ 75 each.
The party doubled as a re-election gala for the president at the start of the 2020 campaign.
Both Mr. Trump and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg spent millions of dollars on campaign ads during the 2020 Super Bowl broadcast.
