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.
This guy needs to be arrested!
Isn’t that a death threat Punishable by jail time ?
THIS GUY HAS GONE DEFINITELY TO FAR AND THE FBI NEEDS TO COME IN ON THIS NOW, NOT WAIT TILL SOMEONE DOES AS THIS IDIOT HAS SUGGESTED. TIME FOR TRUMP TO HAVE PLENTY OF SECRET SERVICE WHEN THIS C**P IS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AND HE IS A COLUMNIST ON THE NY TIMES WHERE HE MIGHT BE INFLUENCING SOMEONE.
Oh yea? It is a joke only because you got caught.
FIRE HIM!!!! BOYCOTT N.Y. TIMES…. These people need to start feeling CONSEQUENCES for their comments….
Wow, this clown should be locked up. If he said that about Clinton he would be on his way to Rikers.
Shouldn’t that be considered a death threat. I would have him arrested!!
Holy cow! Where do u live? I’m so sorry.
Ovumit has paid people off to kill others. Don’t kid yourself.
STILL I WANT TO KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE SO DAMN AFRAID OF TRUMP ,IT MUST BE BECAUSE HE IS HONEST ,NOT A CRIMINAL ,NOT A MURDERER ,AND HE WANTS TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND THEY DON’T WANT HIM TO
