This RAF veteran’s takedown of a Trump supporter is the most satisfying thing you’ll read this week
There’s a 95-year-old chap called Harry Leslie Smith on Twitter and this is why you shouldn’t mess with him.
It started when he tweeted in support of people protesting at the visit of Donald Trump.
Then someone called @larryf replied. Larry is a big fan of #MAGA, the NRA, and thinks Liberals are trying to destroy the USA.
And this was Harry’s perfect reply.
Boom!

Harry describes himself as a ‘survivor of the Great Depression [and] RAF veteran Activist for the Welfare State’ and he’s an author as well.
Here are some of our favourite responses to probably the best exchange to come out of Trump’s UK visit.
There should be the sound of a Lee–Enfield casing hitting the ground cause fucker got sniiiiiped

I’d like to report a Twitter homicide. Time of death is noted here.

And here’s more of what Harry had to say.
In the course of my lifetime I've been to the States over 25 times but this will be the first time I go with trepidation. https://t.co/xwvPqdaZG4

No, not everybody is a fascist. Take you for example. You're a nobody, a person of infinite insignificance & low self esteem that the only way you can define your purpose is to hate. You only get life once around which is why it's too bad you wasted it on hate. https://t.co/c4iGIXcx0I
