Twitter exploited the death of Ivana Trump, allowing users to take a disgusting potshot at her ex-husband.

Following news about the death of former President Donald Trump’s ex-wife, an “In memoriam” item trended on the platform: “Ivana Trump, ex-wife of Donald Trump, dies at 73.” But right underneath the “memoriam” was another item that mocked Ivana’s demise: “Trending with Wrong Trump, Ivana Trump.” Leftists on Twitter pounced on the platform’s “Wrong Trump” trending item to wish death on the former president. Podcast host Jeff Pearlman spewed: “I see ‘Wrong Trump’ trending. Not gonna lie—I'd said that to my fam a few minutes earlier. I don't root for deaths. But [sic] exception can be made for an aspiring authoritarian with nary a decent bone in his body (who, for that matter, openly celebrated John McCain's death.”

Why don’t they just accuse Trump of having had her killed? After all, there’s as much evidence of that as there is to support the January 6th insurrection. All they is someone, who can be absolutely anyone, to say they overheard a conversation where somebody says they were told that somebody knew somebody that might be in Florida and confirmed an actual rumor that, etc., etc. The NYT would run it on the front page for a month.

Of course Leftists root for death. It comes very naturally to them.

I suppose one could say if this is acceptable that Beau was the wrong Branden who died.

Of course they’d say that. Not only do they want Trump dead, they want the same for all of his supporters.
You and me.
And all Conservatives.
And all Christians.
And anyone who does not walk in lockstep with their evil, disgusting, perverted ways.

If lefty “journalists” start meeting untimely demises, they will have nobody to blame but themselves.

The Twitter rules forbid “wishing or hoping that someone experiences physical harm”, but its moderators allow people to express the wish that Trump had died. I’m sorry it looks like Musk won’t be in a position to make them clean up their act.
