Donald Trump Jr. is getting dragged on Twitter this morning over a black bear and a plate for donuts.
The ex-president’s eldest son is under scrutiny after a guide who helped him kill a black bear on a 2018 hunting trip in Utah was just charged with illegally baiting the animal.
Wade Cox Lemon has been charged with “wanton destruction of protected wildlife,” a 3rd-degree felony, by the Utah Attorney General’s Office.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
According to the charging documents, 61-year-old Lemon “personally guided a client on a successful bear hunt” in Carbon County on May 18, 2018.
A “concerned witness” later contacted the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to report “a pile of grain, oil, and pastries” in the area after the hunters left. The witness also said the group was hunting with dogs.
DWR agents went out to investigate and found a half-eaten donut in front of a trail camera with Lemon’s initials and phone number on it. Footage on the camera showed “the bear surrounded by a pack of hunting dogs before the client shoots and kills the animal.”

“Utah law forbids luring bears to a bait station and then pursuing the animal with dogs,” the charging document reads.
Though Don Jr. himself hasn’t been charged with anything, a report by the Utah Investigative Journalism Project and the Salt Lake Tribune confirmed he was the client Lemon took out on the hunt that day.
Here’s what Twitter has to say about the whole thing…
If you use oil, pastries, and a pile of coke you can catch Don Jr.

Don Jr. was the kid who came home with dead animals after playing outside because daddy issues.

So Don Jr. doesn't need all his macho manly alpha guns to kill a bear, just a douchey hunting guide with a plate of pastries.

So is Don Jr going to have the same felony charges against him his hunting buddy has for using illegal bait to kill a bear?
Asking for myself.

MAGA loves the fact Don Jr. baited in a bear with donuts and killed it. It reminds them of the 2016 election.

Hunting guide Wade Lemon used "a pile of grain, oil and pastries" to lure a bear that Don Jr then killed, authorities say.
A prime example of how Trumps use others to make it appear they are powerful and instead look even more ridiculous.— Alicia (@Alicia0Givens) May 22, 2022
Many people are saying that Don Jr. also caught Kimberly Guilfoyle with a plate of pastries.

Don Jr could shoot a bear on 5th avenue and his hunting guide will be charged with felony poaching but Jr won’t be charged with anything because he’s a trump and they never get charged with anything even though they commit felonies all day every day.

If there is a god out there, please let her be compelled to give Don Jr. monkey pox.

Don Jr murdered a bear and now his guide is facing up to 5 years in prison.
Remember in the old days how when a young Prince misbehaved, they would whip a young boy in his stead?
That’s pretty much Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump

This isn’t the first time one of Don Jr.’s hunting excursions has ignited controversy.
In 2019, he traveled to Mongolia where he illegally killed a rare argali sheep. The Mongolian government later issued him a hunting permit retroactively.
According to the Citizens for Ethics watchdog group, Jr.’s Mongolian hunting trip cost U.S. taxpayers over $115,000 in secret service protection services.

Then, of course, there’s that decade-old photo of him proudly posing next to a dead elephant with its severed tail in hand during a hunting trip in Zimbabwe.
Don Jr. defended the photo to a Forbes contributor by arguing that elephants were overpopulated in that region and cutting off its tail was a tradition.
In a 2016 interview with Breitbart, he called hunting a “passion” of his and that “the discipline, the good times, the bond that I’ve had in a hunting camp, around a campfire, on a shooting range” were important “values” that he hoped to pass on to his kids.

Mister P
Don junior is a cheater? No kidding?
Mr. Stadnick
What kind of sick person enjoys killing innocent animals?
scotty
ivanka steps on and crushes little kittens and puppies. LOTS of people are saying, i’m told anyways. might be nothing to it, but killing innocents does seem to run in the family over there.
MISTERJETT
i wish he and his whole horrible, creepy, incestuous family would just go away.
David
Just an ugly family that proves beauty is skin deep but UGLY, is to the core! That man (though not much of one) has a serious drug problem and already had a serious break from reality. The only one in that family dumber than him his is Eric who has more screws loose than a hardware store.
Jaquelope
Are you saying ANY of them are good looking? Barron might be now, but he’s still a child, and Tiffany reportedly has nothing to do with the rest of them, and even Donald was fairly good looking when he was much younger, but that was many moons ago, Kemo Sabe.
MISTERJETT
@Jaquelope glasses or contacts? whichever, get them checked or get new ones. a family full of ugly, UGLY people. barons a little no neck monster. as for melanoma, i’ve seen really bad drag queens that look better than she does with her face full of plastic. the rest of the family is just a bunch of trolls that should relocated under a bridge somewhere. pgrabber is just gruesome, even when he was younger. no beauty contest winners there!!!!

I wouldn`t wonder if these people hunt humans, or would hunt humans if they could get away with it.

You all should take beard grooming lessons from him (most of you are truly “lacking”). The real issue here is that, here’s another display of a handsome “White” man that none of you will ever be able to have either. Get over it.

You think everyone should have a beard called Kimberly?
Jim
I”m sorry Jr. dropped his donut! Where’s the story???
Mister P
You’re implying that any of us would want him. Yuck!!
trojanboy
He should be hunted with dogs. He is dating one though.

Scummy sticky creep, go away, we do not like your family of horrible people, shove the donuts up your ass and go back to Mar-A-Lardo
