TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has lashed out at President Donald Trump ‘s son on Twitter.
The 60-year-old ITV star didn’t hold back as she slammed Donald Trump Jr as a photograph of him hunting an elephant resurfaced online.
Both Trump Jr, 42, and his brother Eric are big name hunters, with photos of Trump Jr holding an elephant’s tail from a safari trip in 2011 circulating on social media.
One Twitter user used the photograph of the businessman in order to gain attraction for his petition on getting trophy hunting banned.
Good Morning Britain star Lorraine shared the Twitter user’s post and simply wrote: “What a w****r”.

Donald Trump Jr has previously defended his trophy hunting, saying “outrage” he has been on the receiving end of has been misplaced.
He told Forbes columnist Frank Miniter in 2012: “Elephants are overpopulated in the area the Trumps hunted and so need to be hunted to prevent them from further destroying their habitat.”
Lorraine is a self-confessed animal lover and often talks about her adorable border terrier dog Angus on her talk show.
She has recently paid tribute to her pup, thanking him for helping her through the difficulties of the coronavirus lockdown.
“I honestly don’t know what I’d do without this wee fella right now,” she wrote on Instagram. “Angus is a just bundle of energy, he makes me laugh and he (sometimes) lets me cuddle him.”
