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 $100 million bounty on Trump’s head, while tweeter’s posed their threats after Trump made controversial comments on Muslim immigration.
To give his tweet some substance, Douthat links a video clip of the 1983 movie ‘The Dead Zone’, which is what had many other people outraged about the tweet. So what was Douthat really trying to say? Is he warning us, or does he hope Trump gets slain?
Find out on page two, and take a look at the video.
James Henry you’re a racist
Sad but true. I guess there are a lot of people that don’t even care anymore.
Desperate$#%&!@*. your a nothing..
T**D, he should be shot.
Watch out trump. We need you to fight and get America great again. Have the creams arrested for threats on you.
Boycott NY times
Nothing sticks to TEFLON DON – Donald Trump for President
Another CRAZED liberal maniac!! Maybe his JOB needs to be assasinated!! Though he works for the NY times so he probably would not even make it as a DOG CATCHER in the real world!
No jokes he needs to be fired
This$#%&!@*ought to be arrested for terroristic threats. Where the hell has honor gone in journalism???? Or politics? Or in society? That Obama has not been impeached, Hillary has not been indicted, Sharpton has not had his assets seized for tax fraud, police are targeted and criminals celebrated is a very very sad statement on the mentality of this country. People have forgotten what it means to work hard to look out for each other and to be decent human beings.
