After the fatal accident on the film set of “Rust” in the US state of New Mexico, the son of former US President Donald Trump (75), Donald Trump Jr. (43), targets actor Alec Baldwin (63). Baldwin mistakenly fired live ammunition at cameraman Halyna Hutchins († 42) last Thursday. She died a little later. Director Joel Souza (48) was injured and taken to hospital.
Trump Jr. is an avowed hunter and gun fanatic. The ex-presidential son once made headlines with a hunting trip in Mongolia that cost taxpayers $ 76,000, almost CHF 70,000, for security. Baldwin is an opponent of guns and made fun of then President Donald Trump on TV.
Now Trump Jr. is taking revenge in several Instagram posts, making fun of the H actor. The day after the drama, he posted a picture with Baldwin. Caption: «That look when an anti-weapon madman kills more people than your extensive weapon collection has ever done …».
T-shirt sales on the Internet
Then the next peak followed against Baldwin. Another meme reads: “Let’s all watch Alec Baldwin put the blame on the gun.”
But that’s not all: how «Independent» reports Trump Jr. apparently now began selling T-shirts with a label relating to the deadly drama on the set: “Guns don’t kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people.” An Instagram post contains a link to a website where the t-shirt is sold for $ 27.99, the equivalent of 25 francs. In another post, Trump Jr. shares a Photoshop edited picture of Alec Baldwin wearing the said t-shirt.
According to the police, Baldwin is cooperating with the investigation. No charges have yet been brought against the actor. According to the husband of the deceased camerawoman, he is in contact with the victim’s family. Hutchins’ father said in an interview that Baldwin was not to blame for his daughter’s death.
The investigation continues. Serious security deficiencies on the set are examined, for example. The focus is obviously on the assistant director. He is said to have given the gun to Baldwin believing it was not loaded with live ammunition. (noo)
