Bwahaha! Lil' Donny lifted his Skittles pic from a former refugee's Flickr account

Former Refugee Says Donald Trump Jr. Stole His Skittles Photo



It also included a photograph of a bowl of Skittles. In a wildly ironic twist, photographer David Kittos — who told BuzzFeed his photo was used without permission — was a refugee himself as a young child.

“I am now a British citizen but I am Greek-Cypriot by birth and in 1974 I was a refugee because of the Turkish occupation,” Kittos told the BBC.

Kittos, who was 6 years old when he went to the U.K., also told the BBC that he doesn’t “support Trump’s politics and I would never take his money to use it.”

Though Trump Jr. hasn’t clarified how the image got to him, Kittos posted the photo on his Flickr account in 2010. He labeled the photo “all rights reserved,” indicating that he did not grant permission for others to use the photo without his consent.
