Donald Trump Jr. on Monday posted a meme promoting his father's campaign for president that compared Syrian refugees to a bowl of deadly Skittles.



"If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. Would you take a handful?" the meme states. "That's our Syrian refugee problem."



The message was a play on a rhetorical device that sometimes uses poisonous M&Ms. It's also been applied to groups of people, most recently Syrian refugees. If a few people in the group are bad, it'd be foolish to trust anyone in that group, some argue.



In particular, the meme posted by Trump took language from a tweet by conservative radio host Joe Walsh last month.
