Pay it back. Trump Jr.'s Mongolian sheep hunting trip cost taxpayers about $75,000, documents show(CNN)Donald Trump Jr.'s trip to Mongolia last August, where he hunted a rare breed of giant sheep, cost US taxpayers about $75,000 in Secret Service protection, according to documents obtained by a government watchdog group. The documents requested by the nonpartisan and nonprofit group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington showed the United States Secret Service estimated Trump Jr.'s 8-day trip racked up expenses totaling $76,859.36. An official who works for Trump Jr. told CNN the trip to Mongolia, with the exception of Secret Service, was personally paid for by Trump Jr. The journey to East Asia by President Donald Trump's eldest son included a hunt of Argali sheep, the largest species of sheep, noted for their giant horns. Argali are considered a near-threatened species, according to the Red List of Threatened Species, in large part due to trophy hunting. Trump Jr. often shares social media posts with images from his hunting and fishing trips to locations across the globe. He has received harsh criticism from animal rights' groups and conservationists for his penchant for trophy and "big game" hunting.

There is no way we should be paying one thin dime for any of the Trump kids "entertainment". These aren't young children. They are grown adults making their own decisions.
Can you even imagine how the Republican Party would've been howling if any adult children of the Democratic Party had received such trips, at government expense?
Frankly, I think the family should be paying themselves.

LOL! Remember when Trump claimed once in office, he'd never have time to play golf? And, he's out playing just about every weekend.

Probably had made numerous earlier comments too. The base was all ‘yeah, that lazy African (and we do mean African) American just lazed out on the golf course. Of course Trump knew along he would play more than Obama and that those that had not joined in on the Obama complaints wouldn’t complain about him. He also correctly ascertained that his base would find it a-ok for him to play the white man’s game. After all he needs to relax and refresh to get that MAGA done. Fore!🏌🏼♂️

Trump and his family have been and are continuing to treat taxpayer dollars as their personal piggy banks. After all, as long as they can use somebody else's money and keep their own, why not?

Anyone else find the picture of him hunting sheep amusing? Just me? Okay I already knew I had a warped sense of humor.
I don't think hunting threatened species is any way way funny. It's more just this mental of hunting plain old furry sheep combined with the pun about Trump's people following him like sheep whereby his family members then shoot them.

GOPers were livid they were paying for a family vacation. But Ivanka and Jared traveling to NYC during a pandemic to have a catered Passover dinner.. .that's cool.
