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.
Why not you
NASTY THING TO SAY
This is not a joke and should be taken very seriously!
Since TRUMP as a presidential candidate qualifies for secret service protection…I would believe it is a federal crime…
You have HOMELAND SECURITY……
You have the FBI…..
You have the CIA……
You have the SECRET SERVICE……
AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT ASSASSINATION THREATS OF A SERIOUS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ….
TWITTER ( FOR OVER 6 MO), HAS AN ASSASSINATE TRUMP PAGE…..STILL…….
IF THESE “””””” SECURITY AGENCIES”””””ARENT DOING THEIR JOBS…THEY SHOULD BE DISMANTLED….SINCE TRUMP QUALIFIES FOR SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION…BELIEVE ITS A FELONY TO COMMIT THOSE THREATS
Ross Douthat is not joking, he is insinuating, to assassinate and murder Trump. He should be fired and put on trial for perpetuation to commit a crime. His column is not fit for publication. This is not a joke.
NY is the biggest toilet in our world.
BIG TROUBLE
I don’t think it was meant as a joke. This is getting very serious! Obama flies Air Force One to Texas, meets with Scalia, and Scalia mysteriously winds up dead with a pillow on his face. Trump has been getting death threats for the past year. This guy needs to be seriously investigated!
Liberals have no idea what’s really happening. I suggest them picking up a Bible and figuring it out
