According to new reports, Donald Trump Jr. illegally shot and killed an endangered argali sheep on a taxpayer-funded hunting trip in Western Mongolia in August — and the Mongolian government retroactively gave him a permit rather than tread on the toes of the U.S. government.

The report was met with outrage on social media, with commenters blasting Trump Jr.’s bloodthirst for endangered animals and the wealth and privilege that allowed him to kill them with no accountability. Some even compared it to the right-wing outrage about Hunter Biden being given a free position on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

Because of course the rules of law don’t apply to @realDonaldTrump or any of his diseased offspring.

Of course he did. These people feel entitled to do whatever they want. Disgusting

Even foreign countries are afraid of what Trump could do to small countries if his precious Donny was given a fine or arrested. Junior is pathetic.

Who goes hunting for sheep? I suppose he had his taxpayer paid bodyguards with him also.

He's compensating for his lack of manhood. Just like daddy.

Yet, we should question Hunter Biden, when Junior puts his privilege on full display for all to see.

This is the H/hunter that needs to be investigated.
