Feel physically sick at what Trump has done now.

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.

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?

Probably that he would have been able to overcome the tiger and have it eating out of his hand so to speak.

Sanguinello · Yesterday 12:16

I'd love to see him trying it in real life.

Imagine losing your sweet, troubled son in such awful circumstances and having the leader of the free world mock what happened.

Greenjersey · Yesterday 12:58

I really thought my opinion of Trump couldn't sink any lower. How wrong I was

Londonnight · Yesterday 13:04

It's absolutely disgusting what Trump has done, even lower that he usually is. What is he hoping to gain from this?

I also don't understand how anyone could have filmed this happening and then shared it on social media. Have some respect for the poor man and his family

The more mad shit this nasty rapist does - the better atm. America needs to wake up and get rid.
Scary how backwards America is these days.

CheerfulBunny · Yesterday 13:14

This is the same fuckwit who mocked a disabled man at a public press conference. He utterly disgusts me. I'm horrified for that poor man's family and the staff at the wildlife park. As if they've not been through enough!

CheerfulBunny · Yesterday 13:16

Also - I don't get it. Many 'famous' people have been cancelled for far, far less than either of these horrible things. How come some twats get away with this stuff?

HoppingPavlova · Yesterday 13:22

Well, it is the nation that brought us Tiger King, where all those people thought they were normal, so …….. I would say there are MANY messed up people in the US, and Trump is but one, just a pity he is President but his election is a product of the people.

PetulaGordeno · Yesterday 13:29

He doesn’t shock me but this is a new low.
Remember when he imitated the disabled guy who asked him a question?
Or when he asked Megyn Kelly if she was on her period? She’s now a fan of his. No idea why.
You can be on the right and be a Republican and be a decent human as well as a great leader.
But this ‘guy’ is so far removed from reality.
Showing the Chinese leader the awful thing he did to Biden’s photo and giggling like an idiot, there’s no respect for anything.
He makes Putin look dignified, and he’s a tyrant.
But anyone who is perceived as a bit decent - and I’m thinking of leaders here like Theresa May and Keir Starmer - are seen as boring.
Instead we have performative clowns like Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, who have about as much decency as I have millions.
As for Trump, I’ll just be glad when he’s gone.
And all that bollocks about ‘my friend King Charles’ he doesn’t give a toss about Britain.
He is unhinged.

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?

Yes, completely this. Ok so he's completely mad (ill) there must be a way to lawfully remove him in that basis, but the people with influence around him, and very large numbers of the US public don't want to. It's completely baffling.

He absolutely does. There is a doctor online that reviews videos of him and tells us what he’s doing and why they are classic dementia symptoms. His dad had it, and we know it can run in families. Trump isn’t long for this world really. As soon as he’s gone I’ll book my trip to the US. I refuse to go while he is still in office.

Batsuke1 · Yesterday 13:44

It’s frightening to think someone like Trump holds so much power. Unfortunately nothing surprises me when it comes to him. Using this horrific footage for his own means (whatever the message) is a vile and cruel thing to do. The people who filmed the incident should also be ashamed and in my opinion traced and dealt with by the police.

OrangeFlower14 · Yesterday 13:55

It’s not a video of the actual killing is it?

I have seen one of the chap in the enclosure with the tiger, but nothing else that seem to be the one that was doing the rounds fortunately

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

No he is not unhinged. He knows exactly what he is doing. And why. Calling him unhinged lets him off the hook of responsibility.
He is I imagine what the older version of Henry Viii was like. Unpredictable, could be charming, intelligent, but clearly failing in health, lashing out, ruthless. And keen on the money. Married many times, with various children by various women. Unfaithful. Sees himself as a God almost. And has a mission that he is uncompromising about.
I guess you do need to know a bit about Henry to see the similarities, but it is there.
Like Henry, the country he will leave behind will crumble rather a lot before it gets better.

It's an AI video of Trump grappling with the tiger.

This is really a new low for that despicable man.

DD is only a few years older than the poor lad and it breaks my heart what his poor family are going through. Social media is full of so many nasty videos,posts and comments from keyboard warriors completely lacking in empathy. They are getting hard to dodge and unsee.

I have reported loads of stuff on Cesspit Facebook but they won't close anything down. They just want clicks and don't care.

The poor, poor family 💔

Lentilcakes · Yesterday 14:11

He's an abomination.

randomuser999 · Yesterday 14:15

I frequently see what he does and wonder how the hell this is the man in charge in America, its felt like a crazy dystopian novel come to life and he seemingly is able to do whatever he wants. Each time something new comes out I think he cannot get any worse and he just always does. How this is normal now is genuinely batshit to me.

KittyAndPatch · Yesterday 14:16

I am glad that someone has posted this. I thought about it myself as I was so disgusted.

A world leader demonstrating (again) to the world his complete disregard for life, and someone's grieving loved ones.

I imagine there will be a lot of people (the same people who have already posted mocking comments) that will justify it, as usual, with 'Donald Trump just says what everyone else thinks.'

I despair that the world that we live in means that we are exposed to the idiotic, unintelligent thoughts and ramblings of some people. It was better when their lives, thoughts and opinions were confined to their own living rooms.

And yes, I do know that we can choose not to read them. I really dislike what Facebook and my algorithms have become and am actively trying to alter them to filter out the opinions of those who do not think or act with empathy or intelligence.

TheMasterplan23 · Yesterday 14:26

Totally with you OP.

The vile specimen is unhinged. When I saw the reports on what he’d done this morning I was so angry. Using the death of that poor man in such a disgusting way.

I used to live in America years ago and loved them. I wouldn’t set foot in that country while he’s president though. I truly feel sorry for the Americans that didn’t vote that repulsive pos in!

EstoyRobandoSuCasa · Yesterday 14:36

Trump is vile and unhinged, and the US has done untold damage to its international reputation by electing him as President twice. But do Americans care?

TeddySpaghetti · Yesterday 14:38

YANBU. Dreadful man.

MrsPernicious · Yesterday 14:41

It is also an interesting example of the UK press self censoring.

First link to story is titled family-of-man-killed-by-tiger-criticise-online-content-as-trump-posts-videos. Criticising Trump gets you in trouble, so lose the headline and embed the essence under a nicer title and tucked into a longer article where the WH may not notice.
Family pays tribute to ‘bright young man’ killed by tiger at wildlife park

On Tuesday night, US president Donald Trump posted footage of Mr Chapman being attacked by the tiger on his Truth Social platform accompanied with the signed message: “Don’t ever mess with nature!”

Mr Trump followed this up a short time later with a separate post featuring a video montage that appeared to show a series of other people being mauled by lions accompanied by an upbeat soundtrack.

Later on Wednesday morning, Mr Trump posted an AI-generated video of himself playing with a tiger.
