It's been reported that the video of the young man being mauled to death by the tiger has been posted on his social media platform, ostensibly to warn us all NOT to mess the dangerous animals.
Oh my good god I despair and wonder what is next? Does he really keep thinking he can cover up his vileness by blaming everyone and everything but himself?
Other sickos have done the same.............it's sick beyond words.

I read it as even worse than that, that he is comparing himself to the tiger and saying don't mess with him or look at the consequences.

He's appalling.

Here's an article so that speculation beyond the facts doesn't run too rife: www.itv.com/news/2026-10-14/family-of-man-killed-by-tiger-criticise-online-content-as-trump-posts-videos

He is a truly revolting specimen.

piscofrisco · Yesterday 11:16

He’s unhinged. I don’t know why he has not been impeached due to his clear mental ill health.

LostThestral · Yesterday 11:18

not only that but I heard he also posted an AI-generated of himself wrestling the tiger as well as the original video

He is absolutely disgusting

Allmarbleslost · Yesterday 11:20

Nothing that man does surprises me any more unfortunately. He's utterly disgustingly vile and I do not understand why America can't get rid of him.

That link doesn’t seem to work, so I’d hoped it was taken down (and not really true). Sadly Reuters is reporting the same thing

Sorry don't know what happened there, how odd - here it is again, just looked I up again, maybe they reshuffled their pages: https://www.itv.com/news/2026-10-14/family-of-man-killed-by-tiger-criticise-online-content-as-trump-posts-videos

The tiny saving grace is that he didn't show the killing, but it's still all utterly abhorrent of course and I am in no way an apologist for that utter turd of a man.

WarmAleAndBlackLabrador · Yesterday 11:26

He's a twat. I don't know why I am surprised anymore.

I despair of humanity. That this man is president. That people stood and filmed that poor young man. My heart goes out to his family. It's really upset me as the parent of an autistic young man.

Trump is loathsome. The fact that two ancient, impaired and sociopathic men are in charge of USA and Russia is nauseating. I feel like we're just in a dystopia. I can't bear the news or socials anymore.

All of this. It's just so awful.

Totally agree with you. Yes, Trump is horrendous and completely lacking in basic human empathy. But so are the people who took the video and released it for circulation.

MyAgileUser · Yesterday 11:37

He must have dementia or some sort of cognitive impairment surely?

For me the most worrying thing is that he can’t do this on his own. There are a team of people behind him that enables this, and when he is long gone they will still be there. Nobody seems to be able to say no to him?

He has. It came through on my Facebook feed before I realised.

I didn't think that this excuse for a human being could sink any lower.

Mental health or incapacity in general is not a cause for impeachment, although it would be a cause for removal under a different procedure using the 25th amendment (which would require his cabinet to unite behind it, so obviously a non-starter.)

Also, impeachment isn't removal. The man was impeached twice by the House of Representatives for ethics violations; to actually remove him from office would have required a two thirds majority in the Senate, so another non-starter.

Greebosmum · Yesterday 11:47

I agree, Trump is sickening. Slightly off topic but every time I come across the video of the poor man and the tiger I report it. Apparently it doesn't go against anyone's guidelines. I will continue to report it though.

I believe there is no video of the actual killing.

The only video seems to be just before the killing, which is the one Trump shared.

If he had one of the killing, he probably would have shared it.

SerendipityJane · Yesterday 11:54

I wonder what this chap think ?

Possibly, we have no way of knowing.

Trump has no sense of how to behave as a president should. He's appalling.

Don’t understand this.

what point is he trying to make?

No point? Just inserting himself into a situation that has nothing to do with him and showing off like a toddler?

He is beyond contempt.
He has also posted AI generated videos of people being mauled by wild animals.
I don't understand how anyone can still think he is worthy of being President of the USA

REP22 · Yesterday 12:04

He sickens me, gets worse daily. No regard for humanity or anyone other than himself and no serious attempts to challenge or unseat him. And he's doing it all in plain sight, while his lickspittles laugh and applaud.

He's a convicted felon. Impeachment will do nothing. And if he's still alive in 2028, he will be going no-where. He said, twice, during his election campaign that 'if you vote for me now you will never need to vote again'. The "ballroom" under construction has a large military bunker being built under it and the Triumphal Arc in DC that he wants built is to have space for snipers on top. The upcoming mid-term elections will be very, very telling.

He's telling people, daily, who and what he is by his words and actions. And the people he appoints. Hegseth, Vance, RFK Jnr, Rubio - and now his new propaganda Barbie press woman who, it seems, has lied about being an attorney. It's terrifying - and happening in plain sight.

It's getting harder and harder to respect anything American at the moment. So many ordinary, decent people are of the view that "I don't like him, but I don't like the other guy either, so I won't be voting." Hence he continues unchecked.

The re-posting of the tiger video - which he has run through AI and edited to show himself defeating the tiger, hugging and playing with it - is absolutely revolting on every single level. But utterly unsurprising to anyone who has an eye on what he's up to behind the major headlines.

SmallDFartyCarNRG · Yesterday 12:05

Can we not use this as a reason to test his theory that he wouldn't be mauled and do a test run?
I mean, is he a man of his word or not?

shadypines · Yesterday 12:06

'There are a team of people behind him that enables this'
Absolutely, that's the other scary thing, there's a whole army of these vile people (Hesgeth right up there with Trump with what he announced recently). Some people are so gullible, they'll see that a president is doing this garbage and tell themselves it's ok. Errr no, it's not ok, it's utterly depraved.

How has become almost the norm for any distressing incident to be filmed? Who wants to do that? My brain aches trying to fathom it.

Basically if any one of us or our loved ones faces a gruesome death then we know it's going to be out there for the mindless scrolling masses to entertain themselves with.
