"intuition and imagination and intelligence"
Many of us 65,853,514 in 2016, and 81,283,501 of us in 2020 have always believed in the Greatness of America and know America has never ceased being Great. That said, a man whose sons love trapping Big Game and slaughtering them and posting images online, loves having a man who killed a bear and dumped it in Central park, and took the head off of a beached whale and drove through a few states with it -- is a great America.
A decade after the shocking discovery of a bear cub carcass in Manhattan’s Central Park, the mystery of who dumped it there has finally been solved.
And the man taking responsibility is none other than presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The conspiracy theorist-turned-third-party candidate’s campaign has weathered a series of increasingly improbable-sounding scandals in recent months, from Kennedy’s admission that a worm ate part of his brain to his denial of reports that he once ate barbecued dog (he said it was a goat).
At nighttime in a remote region of western Mongolia, Donald Trump Jr. used a rifle with a laser sight to shoot and kill an endangered argali, the largest living species of sheep. Local hunting guides fanned the lights of their cellphones across the ground to search for where the creature fell. Trump Jr. asked them not to dismember the animal on the spot, but instead to carry it away on an aluminum sheet to keep its fur and horns intact.
ProPublica described the August excursion in a report that relies on records and interviews to allege that the president’s son received special treatment from the Mongolian government just weeks after U.S. and Mongolian officials met at the White House. The Trump administration has sought to strengthen ties with Mongolia, a longtime defense partner that lies between China and Russia, to prepare for Beijing’s growing global influence.
In Mongolia, permits to shoot and kill an argali, which are prized for their horns and meat, are determined largely by politics, connections and money, experts told ProPublica. Trump Jr. received a permit after his hunt — which ProPublica reported is a rare occurrence.
