U.S. President Donald Trump shared multiple videos on social media depicting animals mauling people. Mandel NGAN / AFP via Getty Images President Donald Trump shared multiple videos on social media Tuesday depicting animals mauling people. The bizarre posts appeared as the nation is beset by sky-high gas prices, a war against Iran, and a cost of living crisis that has shaken the country’s economy as midterm elections loom.
The president amplified the violent footage on his Truth Social account, which is usually reserved for boasting about his perceived accomplishments and reposting praise from the people who work for him.
Alongside a video of a man being attacked by a tiger, Trump wrote, “Don’t ever mess with nature! President DJT.” The clip was from a fatal attack at Yorkshire Wildlife Park on Saturday. The Guardian reported that a man named William Chapman, who is believed to have been in his 20s, climbed into the enclosure of Altai, an over 400-pound Siberian tiger, which attacked him.
Trump reposted the silent, 41-second clip that depicts the tiger appearing to bite the back of the Chapman’s neck, pulling him to the ground, and pawing at his legs. The clip doesn’t appear to show the man’s death. The incident reportedly lasted a couple of minutes and Chapman was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after. An official White House account reposted Trump’s video to X.
After Trump posted the video of Chapman, the president posted a 24-second video compilation of lions attacking on people that was soundtracked to upbeat music. It is unclear if the depicted attacks are authentic or generated by AI.
Trump isn’t known to shy away from gruesome displays of violence.
Earlier this month, Pete Hegseth revealed that the Pentagon will livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, a former U.S. Army major convicted in court martial proceedings of murdering 13 individuals and attempting to murder 32 others in the 2009 mass shooting at the Fort Hood army base.
Hasan is, by order of the Trump administration, set to be executed by firing squad on Dec. 3. It will be the first time the military has executed someone since 1961, and the first public American execution in nearly a century.
