Trump Jr. Kills Rare Mongolian Sheep Without Permit

Read Time:1 Minute, 44 Second

by Michael John Scott

Like father, like son, and that was never truer than The Donald and his son, Junior, as both embark on different missions of corruption and criminality.

Junior lived the “Yurt Life” over the summer, embarking on an expedition with his son Donald to Mongolia that he documented in a series of Instagram posts.

Now, ProPublica and WYNC report that Trump Jr. received “special treatment” during the trip, which “blurred the lines between private citizen and diplomacy.”

Both news organizations report the August jaunt included a private meeting between Trump Jr. and the Mongolian president, and that the oldest son of the US president also killed a rare argali sheep, without a permit, beyond one issued retroactively.

A spokesperson for Trump Jr. says the seven-day trip was a personal expedition, purchased by Trump Jr. at an NRA charity auction in 2015, and that protection given to the president’s son is determined by the Secret Service, not Trump Jr.  Like most US politicians who live in the pocket of the NRA, Junior certainly took advantage of his special relationship with the criminal gun organization.

The crux of the report:

Trump Jr.—who seems to have been accompanied by GOP donor Kevin Small—killed an argali sheep, an endangered species only allowed to be hunted via an “opaque permitting system that experts say is mostly based on money, connections, and politics.”

The Mongolian government granted Trump Jr. a permit only after he’d left the region—an “unusual” move, per ProPublica. A local government official says Trump Jr. also had a private meeting with Mongolian leader Khaltmaagiin Battulga; what they discussed is unclear.

“What are the chances the Mongolian government would’ve done any of that to someone who wasn’t the son of the [US] president…”

…a legal ethics expert says, adding that though Trump Jr. doesn’t work for the US government, he’s still got political pull, which could lead to a “desire on the part of a foreign government to curry favor with the president’s family.”

This guy is a real piece of shit just like his piece of shit father. Why don’t the Dems jump on shit like this? This whole ‘they go low we go high’ nonsense is what costs the election. If you turn the other cheek you’re liable to get than one slapped too.

Every hope and dream of my lifetime turned to ashes and the life’s work of millions turned to dust. I will curse him at every moment. I will curse him in every place and every way with my last breath, and let my life be a living malediction upon every mouth that supports him. Cursed is the land for his sake and may he eat of excrement forever and ever, world without end.
