While the world continues to come to terms with Donald Trump Jr.'s deplorable and Secret Confessions (2025) Mrs. Bugaw Episode 39inaccurate Twitter meme, even more issues about it are coming to light.
SEE ALSO: People are loving Skittles' response to Donald Trump Jr.'s refugee tweetFor instance, the image of the bowl of Skittles that is used in the meme was taken by a refugee who says the Trump campaign used the photo without his permission.
The photo was posted to Flickr in January 2010 by David Kittos with the "all rights reserved" copyright.

The BBC caught up with Kittos, who told them it was "not done with my permission."
What's more, Kittos, who currently lives in Guildford, a small city about 30 miles southwest of London, is himself a refugee and he obviously wasn't happy about Trump Jr. using the photo without permission in a way that disparages refugees, saying, "I don't support his politics and I would never take his money to use it."
Kittos, now a British citizen, fled the Turkish occupation of Cyprus with his family in 1974; he was 6 years old at the time. "We had to leave everything behind overnight," he said. "Our property and our possessions."
The image was taken as Kittos was simply experimenting with lighting and flash. He said he'd prefer the campaign delete the image, but, "they are probably not interested in what I have to say."
"This isn't about the money for me. They could have just bought a cheap image from a micro stock library. This is pure greed from them. I don't think they care about my feelings. They should not be stealing an image full stop."
Nothing else about the meme is original, either. The meme itself is similar to one using M&M's that's been used as an anti-refugee meme; thatmeme can even be traced back further to a 2014 feminist meme. (The Interceptsays the roots of the meme's numeric logic go back to a 1938 anti-Semitic German children's story.)
And the idea of using Skittles (instead of M&M's) wasn't even original to Trump Jr. Far-right radio host and former Tea Party-aligned congressman Joe Walsh responded to Trump's tweet with a passive-aggressive reminder that he made the same comparison over a month ago.

Neither the Trump campaign or Trump Jr. have commented on the entire episode thus far.
