Seth Rogen has been sliding into Donald Trump Jr.’s direct messages like a pro — and he’s taking us along for the ride.
It all started when the comedian realized that Trump Jr. followed him on Twitter.
“Yo! @DonaldJTrumpJr! I noticed you follow me on Twitter. Please ask your dad to resign before he destroys the planet. Thanks dude,” Rogen wrote.
