...spark comparisons with Walter Palmer, killer of Cecil the lion

Their dad likes shooting from the lip, but the Trump kids prefer shooting wild animals with guns.

Pictures of Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the two adult sons of bombastic 2016 candidate Donald Trump, shooting wild animals in Africa have resurfaced, sparking unflattering comparisons of the mogul’s heirs to lion-killer Walter Palmer.

The Trump brothers went on a 2011 hunting trip in Zimbabwe, where they snapped photos of themselves with enormous dead animals they took down.

In one photo, Donald Trump Jr., known to many as “Donnie,” is seen toting a rifle and flashing a huge grin while seated next to a dead buffalo he had just killed. In another picture, Eric Trump is seen sitting atop his fresh kill, another buffalo, smiling as the dead animal lies still on the ground.

In yet another grisly snap, the brothers are seen smiling while holding a dead cheetah. And in another pic, Donald Jr. is seen holding a knife in one hand and the bloody, detached tail of an elephant in the other.

I think Trump is 10 feet tall and bulletproof right now.
He seems to be shredding the MSM every day.

Am I wrong in thinking that people have been hunting big game in Africa for YEARS?! Weren’t there some big Hollywood stars who shot lions, tigers, whatever, for sport?

Didn’t President Theodore Roosevelt shoot thousands of animals in Africa and elsewhere?

I don’t think this will help him.

Anyone killing such animals is kind of creepy to me.

It’s a shame because I was liking the noise Trump was making.

” Donald Jr. told Deer & Hunter magazine in a separate interview about the initial controversy surrounding the photos. “I kinda said, ‘No, I am what I am. I did all those things. I have no regrets about it.’”

Sounds like Donnie is like his dad - DON’T APOLOGIZE!

Well, I have no problem shooting buffaloes, I wouldn’t shoot a Cheetah though. They’re beautiful!

Puh-leeze, media. We all know by now you'll do absolutely anything to derail Donald Trump's threat to the socialist "agenda." Has Mr. Soros threatened to turn the lights off if you don't comply?
