What the hell is wrong with him?
In case you don’t know what film he’s talking about, “Hard Target” stars martial-arts expert Jean Claude Van Damme and it tells the story of a group of rich people in New Orleans who hunt homeless people for sport:
Been making a lot of "Hard Target" jokes, re: this offer to go "hunting" w/ Trumps. Surprising amt of people don't remember "Hard Target."

What exactly is the joke here? That Trump’s sons are like the rich guys in the movie that murder people?
Admittedly, “Hard Target” is a great Van Damme movie (not necessarily the same as a great regular movie) that ends with our hero killing the lead bad guy with the old grenade-in-the-pants move:
Fahrenthold, who has been covering Trump and his charitable donations for the Post, has a new piece out on Donald Jr. and Eric Trump and a charity hunting trip that was using their names to solicit donations:
NEW with @Fahrenthold: Trump sons will not attend high-dollar fundraiser that raised questions about access-peddlinghttps://t.co/nIwSQJLof2

Fahrenthold is now investigating if the Trump sons showed up as directors in any other charities that might cause embarrassment to the president-elect:
We're looking to see if Eric Trump or Donald Trump Jr. have shown up as directors of any other new nonprofits. Found nothing so far…

“Found nothing so far…,” but keep trying!
