So this is how numb we are as a world?! 23:59 - Oct 14 with 2439 views

The President of the United States, the leader of the free world, posts graphic video of a man being mauled by a tiger on his feed.

A man with mental health issues, perhaps effected by his medication.

The leader of the free world then follows up that post with AI generated images of him frolicking with a tiger, playing with the big cat without risk.

This is barely getting any attention.

Weird times.

His family described him as “bright, warm and engaging” and suffering from severe mental illness. They said online footage being shared was “deeply offensive” and causing them “severe distress”.

One of those to circulate footage was the US president who posted a video clip of the tiger attack to 13 million followers on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday.

The clip showed the tiger biting and clawing Chapman as he was sitting in the enclosure. At one point he wags his finger at the animal.

Trump signed the footage with: “Don’t ever mess with nature! President DJT.” It did not show Chapman being killed.

Later the president posted an AI-generated video of himself grinning and having fun by chasing and play fighting with the tiger. It is accompanied by the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens. It features Trump copying the pointing gesture made by Chapman and ends with him and the tiger hugging.

It doesn’t even register anymore

That’s the depths we’ve plummeted

Nepocorruption

Brazen Kremlin support

Etc etc

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. "It's, like, incredible."

That was 2016.

Client media, like Putin, enables this.

But revelling in and mocking the death of a mentally ill man - where are we?! Why isn’t this headline news??

I wouldn't only blame Trump for this video's spread - anyone who uses social media (including me) has a portion of blame, but in particular, the tosser who decided to upload their vid.

I can only hope his family manage to avoid it, as this filth will be knocking around the interne forever now.

Edit: Shame also on the American Christians who continue to support Trump - he continually shows he shouldn't be their man, but they ignore everything.

Trust me, it is not just washing over the US electorate, there are a lot of very concerned US citizens as to how their country is being run but are feeling powerless to stop it.

When governments are allowing individuals to behave in an unchecked manner - what can others do?

As you say, most people have become numb to it because it’s lost amongst a stream of similar drivel from him every day. He’s sick (in the traditional sense).

Trump is probably trying to sell advertising and sponsorship for the live firing squad execution as we speak.

I’m a pretty easy going guy. Live and let live and have probably never hated or vehemently detested another human being though I’ve disliked a fair few in my 66 years….but the orange spunk trumpet has broken the mould.
Truly hate the American president with a passion and he’s got some serious competition worldwide.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

This was unbelievably distasteful, he should be ashamed and the media gurus he hires who put it out deserve to be sacked for this

He's tried to publicly create a joke out of a vulnerable young man who for whatever reason crossed the danger line and ended up paying the price

He was a human heing and no one deserves to be mocked no matter what their actions maybe, someones son, neighbour, poss sibling, he needed to show more respect

Equally, i feel sorry for anyone who bore witness to the incident as it's the sorta incident that can have traumatic consequences for anyone involved including witnesses

Not vote them into power, maybe.

"A man with mental health issues, perhaps effected by his medication."

Are you referring to Trump or the man who climbed into the Tiger enclosure??
