Tyrannosaurus rex didn't choose to hunt Triceratops over other animals. The most common herbivores at that time and place were Triceratops and Edmontosaurus. Tyrannosaurus definitely hunted Edmontosaurus regularly, probably more often than Triceratops.

Who would win King Kong or Triceratops?
If King Kong attacked Triceratops first, King Kong can win by slamming Triceratops with a tree. If Triceratops attack King Kong, King Kong can still win by its ability to jump to the sides. Then, King Kong can kick Triceratops on the side, injuring it. Soon, King Kong gives Triceratops a fatal blow. DEAD!Answer 2:Triceratops will win by charging at king Kong and stabbing it with its horns. But if King Kong manages to break the horns, it will not break them because they are connected to a strong frill head. King Kong cannot pick up triceratops because it is so heavy and thick with muscles. At the end of the battle, triceratops will win, but its horns will get very hurt.
Did gigantosaurs kill triceratops?
First, some clarification. Gigantosaurus is today said by paleontologists to be a "nomen dubium" (a misnomer). The original find, over time, was shown to be bones from at least three different sauropods. The thinking today is that the partial "gigantosaurs" find was actually a Barosaurus, an enormous sauropod related to Diplocodus. That said, it was an herbivore, just like Triceratops. It can't be said that it didn't kill a triceratops, only that it's very unlikely - generally speaking, the two animals would have had no issues with each other.
