Former President Donald Trump’s oldest son took on a Willy Wonka—Oprah Winfrey persona on Friday afternoon when he excitedly told a crowd of Trump supporters that if they received a golden-wrapped chocolate bar, they had just won a VIP ticket to see his presidential dad at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday.

Who’s got a ‘golden ticket’?
Former President Donald Trump’s oldest son took on a Willy Wonka—Oprah Winfrey persona on Friday afternoon when he excitedly told a crowd of Trump supporters that if they received a golden-wrapped chocolate bar, they had just won a VIP ticket to see his presidential dad at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday.
“Uh, check under your seats—if there happens to be a gold chocolate bar underneath here, no I’m not joking, that’s a VIP ticket to my father’s reception tomorrow at CPAC.”
It wasn’t clear how many attendees received golden chocolate bars during the event.
Netizens responded to the presentation by criticizing Trump Jr.’s
awkward hand gestures and the sparse room he was addressing.
“I’m just gonna eat the chocolate and skip the reception. Thanks, though,” wrote one Twitter
user.
“No one was paying to attend so they had to giveaway tickets to make Trump appear popular,” wrote Twitter user @karbbev.
