Amazon's anti-Trump T shirt
...
The problem is that some items on Amazon shouldn’t be there. Specifically, I’m talking about an array of shirts that call for the death of Donald Trump. I found out about one this week that reads, “THE ONLY GOOD TRUMP IS A DEAD ONE.”As you can see from the listing, you could order it in a variety of fashion colors or fabrics. It would have been the perfect item for the Trump-hater on your list. There are also some more general anti-Trump shirts on the site, some of which attempt to be funny.
...
With trepidation, I searched Google for “Is it a crime to call for the death of a former president” — after all, these are the kinds of searches that land people on lists. Federal statute 18 U.S. Code § 879:…prohibits knowing and willful threats to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm against the following categories of persons who are protected by the United States Secret Service:Members of the immediate family of the President;
Members of the immediate family of the Vice President;
Former Presidents;
Members of the immediate family of a former President;
Major candidates for the Office of President and Vice President;
Spouses of major candidates for the Office of President and Vice President within 120 days of the general Presidential election; and
Immediate families of the President-elect and Vice President-elect.
...
This looks like a pander to the Trump haters. The irrational hatred of Trump is becoming dangerous.
