AFRICA. (THECOUNT) — Actor Tom Arnold, Roseanne Barr‘s ex, posted a photo on Twitter depicting Donald Trump Jr. holding the tail of an African elephant he had apparently just taken down.
Animal lovers on social media immediately responded to the Arnold’s tweet with profound disapproval.
Tom Arnold via twitter:
“This is Donald Trump Jr. He is holding the tail of a beautiful African elephant he murdered as she got up from a nap. Donald Trump Jr. is the real piece of garbage,” he said in his first tweet.
Some Trump supporters on social media took Arnold’s comments to be a threat to young Trump, spurring dozens of calls to the secret service.
“What a coward. Look at him standing there, alone, like everyone’s least favorite uncle,” poet Rachel McKibbens said, which Arnold responded to.
“Looking forward to the day I’m standing over him wearing my bullet belt & safari khakis, my cartoon sized Daniel Boone buck knife in one hand his his teeny tiny tail in the other..,” Arnold replied.
The Federalist Papers said of the tweet, “There is no other way to interpret Arnold’s tweet other than as a direct threat against the son of the President of the United States and it had many calling for the Secret Service to get involved.”
