On October 13, 2026, Trump posted footage of the tiger attack on William Chapman, who later died of his injuries after the attack at a wildlife park in England, with the caption “Don't ever mess with nature! President DJT,” followed a minute later by a compilation of big-cat attacks. Later that day he posted an AI-generated video of himself wrestling and befriending the tiger to the tune of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” AFP reported.
Chapman's family said in a statement that “the publication and circulation of deeply offensive media content is causing them severe distress at an exceptionally vulnerable time. We ask people to stop doing this,” the Guardian reported; the statement did not name Trump. The British prime minister's spokesman said, “I'm not going to comment on the president's social media channels.”
