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.

Then, Rogen took it one step further by privately messaging the president’s son.

And one more time for good measure.

No word yet on a response from Trump Jr., but definitely A+ for effort.
