Trump Recklessly ‘Jokes’ That Joe Biden Will Be ‘Shot’ Three Weeks After He’s Elected

During a rally Tuesday evening in Lansing, Michigan, President Donald Trump told a crowd of supporters that his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, will probably be shot three weeks after taking office so that Kamala Harris can be president.


Specifically, Trump mused:

“That’s why they are talking about the 25th Amendment. Three weeks, Joe’s shot. Let’s go Kamala.”


The president said this by way of alleging that if a person votes for Biden, they’ll actually be getting Harris as head of state because there’s a conspiracy afoot to make Kamala president as soon as possible.

If you or I stood up and said that in public, the Secret Service would pay us a visit and make it very clear that if we did it again, we’d be arrested and charged with threatening a candidate for federal office.

That won’t happen to Trump, of course, because he controls the Secret Service. They work for him. But they also protect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and it’d be nice to think they’d pull Trump aside and make it clear that such talk isn’t the least bit acceptable. Will they? Probably not. Would he listen if they did? Almost certainly not.

Trump’s remarks, however, prove yet again how reckless and dangerous this man is. It is prima facie evidence of exactly why Donald Trump needs to be voted out in record numbers.

Many Americans were outraged by what the president said:

The current president is a danger to every single American. He must be removed via the ballot box.
