On Monday evening, Donald Trump Jr. sent forth unto the internet a meme that was both moronic and incorrect.

Many shared photos of Omran Daqneesh, whose image became symbolic of Syria's turmoil in August after it was shared by rescuers.

Trump Jr.'s tweet may find an audience, thanks to its easily digestible take on a complex situation. But one thing seems for certain: the prospect of his father becoming president in November is leaving many people in America with a nasty sugar headache.
