Ivanka Trump drew ire for sharing photos of her camping trip on social media over the weekend.

President Donald Trump’s daughter and adviser posted a series of snaps from her family outing to Twitter and Instagram, including this image she captioned “Where the wild things are...”

Some people noted how the Trump administration (of which she is a part) had only last week weakened the Endangered Species Act protecting threatened animals and plants.

Others pointed out how her father’s immigration policies have separated families on the US-Mexico border ― and that her brothers Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have previously hunted big-game animals on safari in Africa.

Umm since you seem to like nature could you tell daddy to leave our endangered species alone, and lay off the bees, he’s taking it a little far to get even with one eagle

Wow, look at that beautiful sky, those amazing trees, and lovely plants... all being destroyed because your administration refuses to care about the earth or believe in climate change.

So happy you get to enjoy nature. Future generations won’t get that opportunity after your father destroys any and all environmental protections. But wow!! Great insta!!

So how does this nature-loving tweet square with daddy's roll back of pollution standards, weakening EPA, & cancelling the Endangered Species Act?

How sweet. Why not do something about the children in cages taken from their parents by your Dad?

If only there were some sort of Agency to Protect the Environment. An Environmental Protection Agency, if you will.

Is there an #EndangeredSpecies hiding behind you or have your brothers shot them all?
You just gutted the #EndangeredSpeciesAct #GFY

That's actually a sweet picture. And makes me wish I was less furious about you and your husband having a bunch of roles in government that you're manifestly unqualified for.

Don’t worry, your father and this administration are working hard to sell all our “wild things” off to the highest bidder.... that spot you’re standing should be some sort of pipeline by lunch.

Don't see any wild things ???, did your brothers shoot them all ??

— Brettus (@BrettPatrickPo1) August 19, 2019

There aren't any because your brothers killed all of them

Wow, they look so happy to not be in cages and denied basic hygiene.

No "incredible weekends" available for the traumatized immigrant children that daddy boss incarcerates.
Collaboration cheerfully provided every single day by this national security clearence deficient couple.
