If you haven’t heard from your crazy right-wing uncle yet, Snoop D-o-double-g recently released a video in which he (how did Infowars put it?) “pulled a revolver on a clown dressed as Donald Trump as part of a mock assassination.” The video does indeed feature Snoop pulling a “gun” on Trump — one that “shoots” a flag that reads “BANG” — but the “Trump” character (depicted as the clown he is) lives well past the “shooting” incident and the worst thing that happens to him is that he isn’t allowed to hit the blunt that’s being passed around. None of this matters to the Right, however, because the faux outrage machine needs to be fed somehow.
“Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama?” Trump tweeted shortly after hearing about it on one of ‘the shows.’ “Jail time!”

Now, Trump is a guy who claimed he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose a single supporter and whose fans regularly made violent threats against President Obama without repercussions, but once again Trump doesn’t care about facts. Fortunately, Americans stopped by on Twitter to let him know exactly how stupid he is:

@realDonaldTrump @SnoopDogg That moron who runs Info Wars made a video in his nanna's basement about this. You clearly saw it. Hilarious!

.@realDonaldTrump Can you imagine if President Obama was caught on tape talking about grabbing the genitals of women without permission?

@realDonaldTrump @SnoopDogg Trump: "I don't remember this… but that is clearly me. Hey! That Black just shot a gun at me! The actual me!"

@realDonaldTrump also, thanks for coming out harder against Snoop Dogg than you ever have on anti-Semitic hate crimes.

Remember that time when Ted Nugent said Obama should suck on his gun @realDonaldTrump? No jail time either. @SnoopDogg pic.twitter.com/3uyCVeqZuB

This is a bizarre tweet by @realDonaldTrump because it insinuates that @SnoopDogg aimed and fired a gun at him. He did no such thing.

@realDonaldTrump @SnoopDogg Oh no, an active beef with the President of the United States will really hurt Snoop's career.

While Trump was quick to condemn Snoop for using a joke gun in a clown-themed music video, he has not said a word about the rash of anti-Semitic hate crimes that has accompanied his presidency, he has not condemned Steve King’s white supremacist remarks, nor has he spoken out about his racist supporters or any of the bazillion times they have actually threatened President Obama’s life.
