Verified left-wing users on Twitter celebrated the hospitalization of Donald Trump Jr.’s wife, Vanessa Trump, after she opened a letter addressed to Donald Trump Jr. which contained an unknown white powder.
Following the incident, journalist and producer Simon Thompson asked whether Vanessa Trump had to be “decontaminated” because of the white powder or because she’d “come into contact with Trump Jr.”

Thompson quickly deleted the post and set his account to private.
After Trump Jr. announced on Twitter that “Vanessa & my children are safe and unharmed after the incredibly scary situation that occurred this morning,” the Socialist Party of Great Britain also seemingly condoned the attack, posting, “Disgusting people attract disgusting behavior.”
Thankful that Vanessa & my children are safe and unharmed after the incredibly scary situation that occurred this morning. Truly disgusting that certain individuals choose to express their opposing views with such disturbing behavior.

Tara Dublin, a journalist who has written for the Huffington Post, claimed on Twitter that the entire incident was a coverup for Vanessa Trump overdosing on cocaine — before deleting the post.

YOU GUYS, CHILL OUT. Vanessa & Don Jr have a history of coke abuse. Its a known thing. I made a dumb Twitter joke. They’re not all gold. I’ll delete it but the Snowflake Dogwhistle has been sounded as a distraction, so just go on & pretend this is worse than the Administration 🙄 https://t.co/RDplybDyuL

Dublin continued to spread conspiracy theories surrounding the incident’s validity, however.
Just as the white powder story is breaking #TrumpBudget #NoDistractions https://t.co/BB4ESBkH5D

Several other accounts verified by Twitter cracked jokes the Trumps abusing cocaine.
I know people are saying it could be anthrax, but my preferred theory is that Don Jr. asked one of his buddies to mail him cocaine
