Gisele Bundchen, Wife of Tom Brady, Rips Trump Elephant Trophy Policy


<snip>It seems clear Tom Brady’s better half is not a big fan of President Trump. An ardent environmentalist, Gisele Bundchen doesn’t care for the commander in chief’s take on global warming — he’s called it a “hoax” — and now the Brazilian supermodel is upset about the Trump administration’s decision to allow hunters to bring trophies of elephants killed in Zimbabwe and Zambia back to the United States.<snip>

<snip>Bundchen is one of many celebs expressing shock and disappointment that Trump will reverse a ban put in place by President Obama in 2014. Friday, on Instagram, Bundchen posted a picture of herself playing with elephants. The caption: “Nothing justifies killing harmless animals to use its parts only as material goods, decoration or even worse as a trophy to satisfy someone’s ego or pride. If we want a better future, we must take care of the wildlife. When you hurt one species you are hurting them all, including us humans. We are all connected.”<snip>

And my favorite part of the article:

<snip>We’re not expecting Brady to comment. Soon after Trump was elected last November, the Patriots QB, who’s been a Trump friend and occasional golf partner, said he planned to stop talking about politics. “I talked to my wife, she says I can’t talk about politics anymore,” the QB said in a radio interview. “I think that’s a good decision.”<snip>

It is called "Being a decent human being".

Your wife has some humanity left in her and cares not she may not get another invite to the sulphurous interior of the illegally occupied WH.
