Donald Trump Jr. has once again weighed into the defamation trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.

Following the jury's verdict, he shared a pro-Depp meme on his Instagram account.

Depp will be remembered as "the first man to win an argument with a woman," the post said.

Donald Trump Jr has once again weighed into the high-profile defamation trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp following the jury's verdict on Wednesday.

On Friday, the eldest son of former President Donald Trump shared an Instagram post that said that "Depp will always be remembered as the first man to win an argument with a woman."

He accompanied the post with a caption: " precedent breaker!!!"

In Wednesday's verdict, jurors found both Depp and Heard liable for defaming each other, marking the end of six dramatic weeks of testimony in Fairfax County, Virginia.

The jury awarded Depp $15 million in damages on Wednesday, finding that Heard defamed him when she described herself as a victim of domestic violence in a 2018 The Washington Post op-ed.

The jury also awarded Heard a smaller sum of $2 million in compensatory damages, finding Depp liable for defamation when one of his attorneys described her allegations of sexual abuse as a "hoax."

Trump Jr. has previously offered commentary on Wednesday's verdict, celebrating it as a supposed end of the MeToo era.

"Believe all women... except Amber Heard," he wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, the Republicans' House Judiciary Committee celebrated the verdict by posting a GIF of Captain Jack Sparrow Depp's character from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.

Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany, who served as White House press secretary for Trump Jr.'s father, criticized Republicans for showing their support to Depp.

"I see some Republicans celebrating him. I don't think that this is your guy,' she said, per DailyMail.com. McEnany noted that, in 2017, Depp joked about assassinating Trump.
