Menacing Invective against Trump Creates a Dangerous Climate

The continued litany of threats to physically assault or kill a president will haunt the country long after Trump is gone.

Former vice president and current presidential candidate Joe Biden has bragged on two occasions that he would like to beat up President Donald Trump.

Actor Robert De Niro has repeatedly expressed a desire to physically assault Trump.

Donald Trump is a controversial president, no doubt.

The continued litany of threats to physically assault or kill a president is lowering the bar of assassination, and it will haunt the country long after Trump is gone.

On the day Trump was inaugurated, the pop music star Madonna told a large crowd outside the White House that she had thought of blowing it up.

A few months later, comedian Kathy Griffin issued a video where she held up a bloody facsimile of a decapitated Trump head. Since then, Hollywood and the entertainment industry have been in constant competition to imagine the most gruesome way of killing off Trump: stabbing, blowing up, burning, shooting, suffocating, decapitating, or beating.
