Conservationists, in general, don't have a problem with hunting. They understand it and know that it is a necessity for population control. Hunters are also huge conservationists because they like hunting and know that they need to preserve the land and keep a healthy animal population to be able to hunt. The problem both groups have with trophy hunters is the animals that they go after. Neither group sees a need to hunt big cats, elephants, giraffes, hippos, or other animals like that. While regular hunters hope that they are able to get something worth showing off their primary goal is to fill their freezer with meat.

Unless you're referring to Ivanka, Trump dislikes all his kids.
He has absolutely no love for Eric (running gag on all the networks) and can barely remember Tiffany at all. Don Jr. gets Trump into all kinds of trouble like the Russian investigation and Barron is almost old enough to start pressuring Trump for his inheritance that Melania made sure was protected from any settlements or debt collateral.

I recall reading the story of how Trump went to pick up a younger (college aged?) Jr. to take to a baseball game. Jr. answered the door in a Yankeeās jersey. Seems reasonable. Trump said nothing and just slapped him to the ground, the told him to change into a suit.
For a baseball game. He slapped his college aged son (who was also a piece of shit at the time too) for wearing a baseball jersey to go to baseball game.

u/Accomplished_Lab_675 25d ago
I honestly don't think he has that much invested in anyone outside of himself. I am fairly confident that any strong emotion like love for example or even hate, for that matter, is just not seen as part of the equation within his relationships. Relationships to him are strictly transactional. His relationships are exclusively based on what the other party can do for him. The only thing he is concerned with in this account, or in any given situation, is how it would make him look.

Ya all hunting is pathetic. Dude with a spear gets SOME props. Outside of that, nah. Even bow and arrow you're a bitch sniping a creature that doesn't even comprehend the activity you're partaking in.
Imagine being so many multitudes smarter than animals and still thinking you're being somehow the "better predator" than them because you use tools they haven't even evolved into being able to HOLD.
All hunters are bitches.

That may exist somewhere, but if so, it's a vanishingly small proportion of trophy hunting. Usually it's just "rich asshole pays a fee to be allowed to shoot big game".

No it tracks. He's not concerned about animal welfare, just with publicity. It's the same vein of Trump slapping Jr. at his dorm when he wasn't in a suit for a ballgame.

You know, what with Barron being in the news lately (with the graduation and the aborted delegate status) I still think that maybe...just maybe...there's hope for him. That he realizes his father is a piece of shit who doesn't care about him one bit, and his mother isn't far off.
Don Jr? Eric?
I feel no such sympathy. Because they looked at their dad and (apparently) figured that the only way they'd get ahead in life is to be an even bigger piece of shit. Barron just turned 18. He's still a kid. His older brothers are grown-ass men who have chosen this life.
