The chant has been repeated at recent rallies where Mr Trump has mentioned his former opponent.
Donald Trump Jr and his brother, Eric, are avid hunters. During their father’s presidential campaign, photos resurfaced of them posing with an elephant, a buffalo and a leopard they had shot on safari.
Last month, Mr Trump Jr shot an endanagered argali, the world’s largest living sheep, in a remote region of Mongolia.
He did not have permission to kill the animal at the time, and only received a permit after the hunt.
