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. The pictures resemble those taken recently of Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer alongside Cecil, the once-regal 13-year-old lion he lured off protected land in Zimbabwe and killed with a bow and arrow.

3. This isn't going to play well for the Rump.

[Kablooie]

10. The GOP base admires these "great white hunters". This will increase his status.

[SoapBox]

4. Blood thirsty killers.

Ya, be proud...

Disgusting.

[BainsBane]

5. Is there something about rich people that makes them want to go kill beautiful animals?

WTF? I don't understand it at all.

6. even TRUMP says he doesn't understand this big game hunting stuff...

what a great parent and role model! “My sons love hunting. They’re hunters and they’ve become good at it,” Trump told TMZ in 2012. “I am not a believer in hunting and I’m surprised they like it.”

[Helen Borg]

7. Same reason why they don't give a damn about other humans...

Same reason why in regular historical cycles things don't end up too well for them.

8. he cant even understand his own kids!

[Vinca]

9. This will only endear Trump more to the crazies.

Imagine the Oval if Trump became POTUS. Gilt trim, Louis XIV furniture and dead animals on the floor. Or, as that New Hampshire Republican voter said, "Classy."

11. i stopped watching apprentice after this photo - and stopped buying anything from trump.

[samsingh]

12. look at the ugly disgusting smiles on their faces.

assholes.

[question everything]

13. Somehow, I don't think that Trump supporters care about conservation of any kind

and yes, if this means that I "look down" on them, yes, I do. They don't stop and think about issues, they are influenced by in your face spouting hatred of.... well, anyone.

[Marty McGraw]

14. Born into wealth

With no moral compass. I wonder how many generations it takes until a conscience is bred back into these louses? Or more that it takes an anomaly amongst the herd to break away as did the Roosevelts. I'm sure it was more attributed to the company they kept that helped spark the breakaway back into the Real world. For Franklin D. it was Eleanor.

15. That image is burned into my memory.

And the Cecil story brought it all back, particularly considering the dentist is a Republican.
