Donald Trump Jr. posted an Instagram photo of himself with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) holding a cookie with a distorted image of former President Barack Obama’s face on it, and many writers are outraged.

“With friends like these… some good friends decided that while my birthday is not for 2 weeks that they would get me an early 40th birthday cake. And what birthday is complete without an Obama cake?” Trump Jr. posted Sunday on Instagram.

Some left-leaning writers and political consultants, however, seem to be triggered by Trump Jr.’s latest Instagram post

1. Don Jr. is obnoxiously racist.

2. That's Ajit Pai, not Obama.

3. That's a cookie, not a birthday cake.

4. Gonna feel so good to beat Ted Cruz. pic.twitter.com/gMRA7gPXhO — Matt McDermott (@mattmfm) December 18, 2017
