Donald Trump Jr uses 'Russian Slapping Champion' to mock Democrats & impeachment inquiry into his dadTrump Jr, who describes himself as 'General in the Meme Wars' used a video of Khamotskiy smashing through an opponent at the 'Faces of Stone' competition, with the words 'Trump 2020' superimposed over 'Dumpling', and 'Democrats' over his opponent.
"Sums it up perfectly," Trump Jr captioned the video, in reference to the ongoing impeachment inquiry into his father, and also his re-election campaign next year.

When further questioned about how such a famous name could be lost on him, Khamotskiy replied: “No I didn’t know him. I’ve heard of his father yes...he was in Home Alone.”
