Handler, 43, said in a statement last October that Trump’s election “galvanized” her, and that she would devote more of her time to political organizing and activism. ADVERTISEMENT A fierce critic of Trump, Handler said at the time she would work with Netflix on a documentary "where I'll engage with people I don't talk with enough — people of different ethnicities, religions and political philosophies." It’s not the first time Trump Jr. and Handler have tangled on social media. In March 2017, he blasted her for a misspelling in what he called a “sick tweet” that was “targeted at our family.” Handler had mocked the announcement that Trump Jr.’s brother, Eric Trump Eric TrumpTrump lashes out after grand jury seated for New York criminal probe Michael Cohen predicts Trump will turn on family after revelation of criminal probe Florida GOP passes bill that would clear way for Trump casino license MORE, was expecting his first child.

So all these people that threaten to leave the country and then don’t — I actually will leave that country,” Handler said in an interview.<doc-sep>Donald Trump Jr. has a new celebrity enemy in his sightline: comedian Chelsea Handler. He also has a new ally: actor James Woods, who has joined the president’s eldest son in attacking Handler online. Trump and Woods have joked about Handler’s private life. (Photo: Vivien Killilea/Getty Images for Communities in Schools of Los Angeles) It all started Tuesday, when Handler tweeted that she “can’t wait” for the younger Trump to “flip on his father,” a reference to speculation that Trump Jr. may be the latest White House figure to strike a deal with special counsel Robert Mueller. POTUS‘s son soon fired off a rebuttal, which poked fun at Handler’s comedy career and told her to “stay away from politics.” Handler, a liberal, has recently been using her platform to support female politicians.

Trump — whose stepmother, Melania Trump, railed against cyberbullying last week — voiced his support for Woods’s remark. James Woods joined Trump’s takedown of Handler. (Photo: Todd Williamson/Getty Images) While Woods, who has starred in such films as Casino and Ghosts of Mississippi, received praise from followers for his crude comment, Trump has been scolded for not “keeping it classy.” One critic even tagged his younger sister, Ivanka Trump, to alert her to the “sexist” exchange.

Read more from Yahoo Entertainment:<doc-sep>Comedian Chelsea Handler is a frequent opposer of President Donald Trump and his administration's policies but she targeted his son Donald Trump Jr. on Monday via Twitter. The Chelsea Lately alum took to the social media platform to suggest it'd be intriguing to see Trump's son turn on him. "I can't wait for Donald Trump junior to flip on his father," Handler, 43, tweeted on Monday. "That's going to be awesome." Trump Jr. has been a loyal supporter of his father and wasn't amused by Handler's remark. In response to the comedic actor's comment, Trump's eldest child took to Twitter to criticize Handler. "I'd say stick to comedy but you weren't funny enough to avoid cancellation of your Netflix show," the 40-year-old tweeted. "Stay away from politics—no reason to suck at two things." Trump Jr. dug further by suggesting Handler stand by her previous desire to exit the U.S. following his father being elected to office, tweeting: "Hey Chelsea, now that your show is canceled it's not too late to make good on your promise. Really no excuse for you to stay anymore." I can’t wait for Donald Trump junior to flip on his father. That’s going to be awesome. — Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) August 27, 2018 I’d say stick to comedy but you weren’t funny enough to avoid cancellation of your Netflix show.

Chelsea Handler Insists She'll Leave the U.S. if Donald Trump Becomes President https://t.co/ai6gb2Css7 via @thr — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) August 28, 2018 Before engaging in a Twitter feud with the eldest Trump child, Handler equated her own father to America's 45th president. In an interview with BuzzFeed's Profile on August 19, the former Netflix star claimed her dad "would be like Donald Trump if he could." "I have an asshole for a father," Handler told Profile. "I yelled and screamed at him my whole life." Hander additionally took the time to call out Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump. She expressed her disappointment in the former fashion designer's inability to speak out against her father on his administration's policy regarding the separation of families, saying: "To see that kind of behavior, with a lot of power, and a daughter who sits idly by when there are children in cages at the border—I mean, what land are we living in?" Trump Jr. has slammed Handler before. In March 2017, the pair engaged in another seemingly hostile exchange of words after Handler shared her thoughts on the announcement of his brother Eric Trump's wife, Lara Trump, being pregnant with their first child. At the time, Handler suggested: "Just what we need. Another person with those jeans. Let's hope for a girl." Trump Jr. wasn't fond of Handler's feedback, taking to Twitter to share an extensive statement on Handler's "sick tweet." "The liberal elite's real hatred is hopefully starting to be apparent to mainstream America (both right and left). Their whole 'party of tolerance' nonsense only applies if you fully buy into their dogma, and when you don't their true colors shine," he wrote. "Attacking the announcement of someone's first pregnancy would seem below the belt to most, but sadly that's not the case." I guess one of @realDonaldTrump's sons is expecting a new baby. Just what we need. Another person with those jeans. Let's hope for a girl. — Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) March 20, 2017<doc-sep>Don Jr and Chelsea Handler are back at it again in a war of words via Twitter - but this time the younger Trump's comments against the comedian have branded him 'sexist'. The argument kicked off Monday when Handler, a very outspoken Donald Trump critic, tweeted that she 'can't wait' for Don Jr to 'flip on his father.' 'That's going to be awesome,' she wrote. Of course, the tweet caught Don Jr's attention, prompting him to fire back with a jab at Handler's career. 'I’d say stick to comedy but you weren’t funny enough to avoid cancellation of your Netflix show,' he tweeted. 'Stay away from politics — no reason to suck at two things.' Don Jr is being slammed for a 'sexist' comment he made during a heated Twitter argument with comedian Chelsea Handler Chelsea Handler first tweeted Monday that she 'can't wait' for Don Jr to 'flip on his father' Don Jr then replied with a jab at her career, writing 'Stay away from politics — no reason to suck at two things' An unexpected third party then entered the quarrel - actor James Woods, who interjected with a sexual innuendo against Handler. 71-year-old actor James Woods interjected writing: 'Think it’s safe to say she has sucked at way more than two things...' 'Think it’s safe to say she has sucked at way more than two things...' the 71-year-old Casino star wrote. Don Jr seemingly agreed, as he replied to Woods writing: 'Solid point...'. Trump's tweet sparked outrage from Twitter users who slammed him for being 'misogynistic' and 'sexist'. One woman, Emily Brandwin, replied to the tweet tagging his sister Ivanka. 'Hey @IvankaTrump - know you're a champion for women and wanted to make sure you saw this solid sexist #BeBesting,' Brandwin wrote. Her hashtag refers to First Lady Melania Trump's Be Best campaign, which serves to educate against cyber bullying. Ivanka, however, has called herself a feminist on several occasions, and even branded her father one in 2016. Don Jr seemingly agreed and tweeted, 'Solid point...' to Woods' comment This isn't the first time Handler and Don Jr have been involved in a Twitter argument. Last year, Handler tweeted criticizing his brother Eric Trump and his wife Lara after they announced they were expecting. Handler tweeted: 'Just what we need. Another person with those jeans.'
