Everyone has their own sense of humor, right? Then would it be okay to think that New York Times columnist, Ross Douthat, was being insensitive with a joke poking fun at Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign by saying it will end by assassination?
Since then Douthat has deleted his tweet, and has apologized. Angry followers had left comments like, “You’re making fucking assassination jokes?” “Imagine if you made this joke about President Obama. What is wrong with you?”
But what Douthat is referring too is as true as it gets.
Trump is the target of a great number of death threats. Since October of last year, at every public appearance, Trump has worn a bullet proof vest.
The threats come from all over. Drug lord El Chapo placed a $100 million bounty on Trump’s head, while tweeter’s posed their threats after Trump made controversial comments on Muslim immigration.
To give his tweet some substance, Douthat links a video clip of the 1983 movie ‘The Dead Zone’, which is what had many other people outraged about the tweet. So what was Douthat really trying to say? Is he warning us, or does he hope Trump gets slain?
Find out on page two, and take a look at the video.
Not funny and if anything happens to Mr. Trump beleive me when I tell you the people will not tolerate that it is time we clean house with all the corruption in washington and only Trump can do it
LIBERALS ARE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE COUNTRY. This idiot should be arrested for his stupid$#%&!@*suggestion.

THERE’S NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE….HOPEFULLY NO ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE.
You jerk ! I wish I was around when you said that I love to take assholes apart like you !!!
New York times. Is a sorry newspaper. Their stories are phony . They don’t talk about criminal hillary Clinton. Sex scandal bill Clinton. They are a paper with no interest.
Ya think he is leaving somewhere between Nov 3rd and Jan 20?
FIRED!!! These liberal nut jobs are really panicking! So this is how you respond to a presidential candidate with differing opinions than your own. See a psychologist.
What do you expect from a liberal news. Should be in jail for threats
Making statements like that can be dangerous. No one should suggest, joking or not, an assassination.
