"This image says it all."

Those were the words Donald Trump Jr. tweeted alongside his infamous Skittles meme comparing the colorful candy to refugees.

The Down Townonly problem is: there is no image any more.

In fact, the picture now says not a thousand words but just 17. They are: "Media not displayed. This image has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder."

Trump Jr. was widely mocked and lambasted for his harsh tweet, with Stephen Colbert, Skittles themselves and the photographer who took the image among those piling on.

Now the snapper -- who himself was a refugee who fled Cyprus as a child -- has persuaded Twitter to remove his photo.

David Kittos, from Guildford in the UK, said the stock photo of Skittles in a bowl had been taken from his Flickr account. He filed a complaint on Sept. 24.

"The image of a bowl of skittles is mine and has always been set as "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" in my Flickr library," it says. "It was copied and is being used WITHOUT my permission. I have never been contacted by Donald Trump Jr. or any representative about the image, before of after it was used in the tweet."

Kittos told the BBC he was "very glad it's down, and it shouldn't have been up in the first place."
