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.
Stupid thing to say!!
I dont think its a joke at all Trump is a horrible choice for POTUS and is as polarising as Abe Lincoln ever was. If there isnt a John Wilkes Booth Wacko out there…the Clintons could do the deed. Those who forget the oast are condemned to repeat it…
prosecute this terrorist to the ( “Nth” ) degree the law allows…!!!!!!
This is a serious dead threat and NY Times published it so they should be held accountable. Mr. Trump ought to sue the hell out of NY Times. He shouldn’t let this go in my opinion.
F**k you!… Trump/Ted Nugent 2016.
If we said something like that we be in jail
The FBI should be at his door knocking!
Yeah, let’s suggest assassinating Hillary and see just how narrow minded the left and their “storm troopers really are. Now I don’t condone assassinating anyone except ALL islamic warmongers, but don’t get me started on them. People should take this campaign and election seriously and it’s no joking matter. We’re going to destroy all the that founding fathers built and those since who have worked to preserve if we don’t get our heads out of our collective asses. Socialism only works for those in power. In a socialist rule, only those at the very top have, while the rest have to suffer and struggle to live. Hello! “The Fall” only occurred 27 years ago. Assinations didn’t work for them and kidding about is totally taboo. This reporter should be fired and be banned from posting and blogging.
WHY READ ON : Trump does not need the job as president of the United States. He is risking his life to do so. He wants to make America Great again – the America that we all were raised in for our grandchildren and for following generations. What is wrong with America the way it is going? We are slowly and yet since Obama took office FAST approaching the end to our sovernty, the end to the Constitution, the end to our Bill of Rights. We are heading for One World Order – under the United Nations. Obama has given away most of our constitutional rights to the United Nations through his executive orders. We will be policed by the United Nations Global police force. We are losing our police forces by (black lives matter), he has layed off most of our military this past summer. I believe it was 500 generals and many many soldiers and replaced some of them with inexperienced people. The illegals have taken jobs from Disney, and other companies. Political Correctness has turned our American pursuit of happiness into a bend over society. Common Core has given our children the means towards ignorance to the true facts mathamatical as well as historical. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR AMERICA? Not what I see coming to fuition. Be it known that this is the climate that Kruchevf said in the 50’s that he will get us from within. WE ARE THERE FOLKS.
That’s exactly what these idiots want, they are hoping that by the power of suggestion that someone that is off balance will hear it and do it. But don’t get caught joking about this to Obama you will get arrested.
