Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President-elect Donald Trump, stirred online debate after sharing a seemingly innocent family moment.
Over the weekend, he posted photos on Instagram with his two youngest children, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, 10, from his marriage to ex-wife Vanessa Trump.
The snaps, captioned “Games night and indoor s’mores!”, captured the trio enjoying board games, snacks, and even some axe-throwing.
Conspicuously absent from the photos were his former fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle, with whom he split recently, and his new girlfriend, model Bettina Anderson.
However, what caught the internet’s attention wasn’t the family bonding but a small, closed cannister of Zyn, a popular nicotine pouch, sitting on the table.
Nicotine Pouch Sparks Outrage
While the children were seen enjoying s’mores and did not interact with the Zyn product, its mere presence near them raised eyebrows.
Critics took to the comments section, expressing concern and mockery.
“Not the Zyn next to the child!” one commenter exclaimed.
Another quipped, “You probably shouldn’t let your daughter Zyn at that age,” adding a touch of sarcasm.
Despite the backlash, some commenters defended Trump Jr., noting that the product was unopened and posed no immediate harm.
Zyn, a brand embraced by some conservatives, has become a cultural symbol in certain circles.
Its prominence recently increased due to endorsements from figures like Tucker Carlson.
However, Carlson later launched a competing product, citing political disagreements with Zyn’s parent company.
Personal Life in the Spotlight
The post comes amid major changes in Trump Jr.’s personal life.
Recent reports suggest he ended his engagement with Guilfoyle after several public arguments.
The two had been together since 2018 and got engaged in 2020.
Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host, was recently appointed U.S. ambassador to Greece, a role endorsed by her ex-fiancé’s father.
In a public statement, Trump Jr. addressed their split: “Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other and will always share a special bond.”
He also praised her new role, calling her an “absolute star” and a valuable asset to Greece.
Trump Jr. has since been linked to Bettina Anderson, a model from an influential Palm Beach family.
The pair reportedly began dating six months ago and recently celebrated New Year’s Eve together at Mar-a-Lago.
A Blended Family and New Beginnings
Balancing family life and new relationships, Trump Jr. continues to co-parent his five children with Vanessa Trump.
The former couple divorced in 2018 after 13 years of marriage.
Meanwhile, Guilfoyle, previously married to California Governor Gavin Newsom, has moved forward with her diplomatic career.
As Trump Jr.’s life evolves, so does the public scrutiny.
Whether it’s a small detail like a nicotine pouch or his high-profile relationships, it’s clear that his every move remains a talking point for both critics and supporters alike.
