About
Ron Perlman's "Lil Donnie" Trump Tweets refer to tweets posted by actor Ron Perlman criticizing Donald Trump, which often refer to the United States president as "Lil Donnie." The tweets have been frequently parodied in photoshopped variations depicting Perlman as an unhinged Twitter user with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Origin
On October 29th, 2016, Perlman retweeted[2] Kurt Eichenwald along with the message "Ya hear that donnie? Crooked as a muthafucka!" (shown below). Over the next several years, Perlman posted numerous tweets referring to Donald Trump as variations of "little Donnie." [4]
On June 25th, 2018, Perlman posted a tweet[1] claiming that he purposely "pissed" on his hand at a charity event prior to shaking Harvey Weinstein's hand, followed by the message "I think about that every time lil donnie [sic] opens up his KFC" (shown below). Within eight months, the tweet gained over 28,700 likes and 5,400 retweets.
On January 15th, 2019, Redditor Sodors_Finest_Poster submitted the earliest available collection of Perlman tweets referring to Trump as "donnie" to /r/The_Donald[8] (shown below).
