Trump, White House post video of UK man killed by tiger

US President Donald Trump posted disturbing footage on his Truth Social account Tuesday of a man being fatally mauled by a tiger in Britain, sparking backlash on social media.

The 41-second clip of the UK man being attacked Saturday in a wildlife park was also later shared by the White House's "Rapid Response 47" account on X.

Trump, who regularly posts provocative material on social media, followed up his initial post -- which he captioned "Don't ever mess with nature!" -- with a video clip of apparently AI-generated visuals of individuals being mauled by big cats to the tune of a tinny synthesiser.

Users on X, where the "Rapid Response 47" account has 2.3 million followers, questioned the president's judgment, with one calling the post "sick."

"I'm a big supporter but not a fan of this post. To each his own," wrote another.

Later Tuesday, Trump doubled down and posted an AI generated video of himself wrestling and befriending the smiling tiger, to the tune of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."
