MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Social media buzzed with amusement when former President Donald Trump reposted a photo on Tuesday night, June 25, showcasing his son, Donald Trump Jr, proudly holding what appears to be a deceased rattlesnake.

The internet couldn't help but find humor in the image.

Donald Trump Jr's flip-flop-clad picture with a rattlesnake

Wearing flip-flops, Donald Trump Jr originally shared the photo on Instagram two days earlier. The picture depicts him holding the venomous snake by its tail, accompanied by the caption: "Solid day on the river and off the river with my buddy @flyfishrich. We found a super cool Timber Rattlesnake and moved it off the train tracks and back into the woods with his buddies."



 

The post also featured two additional photos, one showing the snake curled near the train tracks, and another depicting the fly fisherman also holding the rattlesnake by its tail. To add to the playful tone of the post, the photos were accompanied by the song 'Nothin' But A Good Time' by Poison.

Former President Trump took to his own Truth Social app to express his pride, sharing the post with his followers. "My son, Don, has absolutely NO FEAR — Not even of a vicious rattlesnake!" he proclaimed.

The internet quickly responded with amusement, sharing thoughts and jokes about the unusual encounter. The proud father-son moment swiftly went viral, showcasing Trump Jr's fearless nature and providing a lighthearted moment for many online.

A social media user tweeted, "future president right there." [sic]

A second said, "Barron is gonna be a beast!" One user claimed, "He’s part of the family."

"The trick is to not freak out if you get bit with venom. Fear makes the venom rush to your heart faster and if it can’t handle it you might not survive," read a tweet.

"Donald Trump Jr. is the only choice for VP," added a user. "Oh yes I’m Definitely voting for you now!!!……not," claimed another user. [sic]

"How impressive," simply wrote an individual.

"He takes after his Dad. Love it," added another.
