Donald Trump Jr has slammed the government after home affairs minister Clare O’Neil called the former President’s son a “big baby.”
The federal minister called Trump Jr a “big baby who isn’t very popular” after he was forced to postpone his speaking tour in Australia when his visa application was held up longer than usual.
The famous American hit back with a now viral statement.
“If Minister Clare O’Neil isn’t too much of a coward to leave her left-wing safe space, I’d be happy to invite her to attend any of the events we put on. You never know; maybe she’ll learn a thing or two about the importance of freedom of speech and diversity of thought,” Trump Jr told Daily Mail Australia in part.

British ex-politician Nigel Farage was set to be a guest speaker at the event and published a statement on Twitter, refuting the Australian minister’s claims Trump Jr “isn’t very popular.”
“Donald Trump Jr has attracted huge interest and 8,000 tickets had already been sold,” Mr Farage said.
“The very late granting of a visa left too little time for travel logistics.”
