Donald Trump Jr. is being ridiculed online for yet another social media post that proves how dumb and heartless he really is.

Over the weekend, the eldest son of former president and convicted felon Donald Trump took to X to post about Hurricane Beryl, a record-breaking storm that has pummeled the Caribbean for days.

The idea that the mother-of-two is secretly trans has been an article of faith for many on the far-right for years.

On Saturday, the National Hurricane Center posted that Beryl was “expected to rapidly strengthen” and would “likely bring destructive hurricane-force winds and a life-threatening storm surge to portions of the Windward Islands.”

Trump, however, seemed unconcerned with the potential destruction and loss of life.

“Beryl?” he wrote in response to the NHC’s post. “Even our Hurricanes are gender non-binary now.”

X users were quick to blast Trump’s apparent ignorance, noting that the name is largely given to children who are assigned female at birth — to say nothing of the fact that hurricanes are meteorological phenomena and don’t have genders, regardless of what people name them.

“The name Beryl is a girl’s name of Greek origin meaning ‘sea-green jewel,’” one user commented. “Dated British favorite that never caught on in this country, where Jade remains the green gem of choice. Interesting namesakes: British writer Beryl Bainbridge and British aviatrix Beryl Markham.”
