Just In Case You Forgot: Donald Trump's Sons Are Ruthless Big Game Hunters

#1

It's safe to say that Donald Trump isn't a very popular person outside of America at the moment. First he managed to offend Mexicans, then moved on to the Chinese, and finished off his world tour by claiming that parts of London are so radicalized they are no-go zones for police.

But amid all the xenophobia and hate-mongering, have we forgotten that Donald is also a pretty shameless advocate of ruthless big-game hunting in Africa?

#3

First he avidly defended Dr. Walter Palmer (the man who shot Cecil the lion) and offered to pay his legal fees, then he went on the defensive amid claims from Mia Farrow that his own sons were avid hunters.

The ghastly pictures of Trump's sons surfaced three years ago and showed them taking part in a hunting trip to Zimbabwe (similar to the trip that saw the death of Cecil the lion). In one of the photos, 34-year-old Donald Jr. holds the sawn off tail of an elephant, while in another photo the brothers stand proudly beside a 12'8′ crocodile hanging from a noose off a tree.

When the photos initially emerged online back in 2012, the Trump brothers staunchly defended themselves, taking to Twitter to "make no apologies."

"In some parts its over populated. Bottom line with out hunters $ there wouldn't be much left of africa. Eco is nice but no $," one tweet from Trump Jr. read.

It turns out that Farrow's claims were 100% truthful, Trump's sons Donald Jr. and Eric actually love hunting endangered wildlife in Africa. Pictured with numerous trophy kills, it seems the two mini-Trumps have just as much respect for life on Earth as their father.

Speaking about his sons penchant for butchering God's bounty, Trump tried to back up big-game hunting while quoting the Second Amendment.

#8

He said: "My sons love to hunt. They are members of the NRA, very proudly. I am a big believer in the second amendment. My sons are hunters. Eric is a hunter. He puts it on a par with golf - ahead of golf. And my other son is a hunter. They are great marksmen, great shots. I like to play golf."

There is one flaw in Donald's argument however. Isn't the Second Amendment ‘designed to being necessary to the security of a free State' nowhere does it say Americans can carry guns in foreign lands to slaughter beautiful animals for sport.

The public reminder is just the latest relic in Trump's past to stir controversy.

#11

There was also the time the New York Times dug up a series of depositions in which the GOP frontrunner for president once told a female lawyer she was "disgusting" for pumping milk for her then three-month-old daughter. The day prior, the Daily Beast published a story resurfacing an old assertion from his former wife claiming he had once raped her.

For shame Trump, for shame

We shouldn't be surprised though should we really? Trump treats Muslims and Mexicans like animals, so why should we expect him to actually treat real fauna with any decency? In fact, I wonder if there is anything outside Christian America that Trump has time for.
