While he is joking, I just don’t remember a time in American history when people even jokingly treated the sitting president with such violent disrespect. They tortured President Ford as some hopeless klutz, but nobody ever threated violence against him, even joking.
How did we sink this far this fast?
You are right. If this were a ratings push by them together, Trump won’t comment on that violent comment by Ahnold.
But if it isn’t, Trump needs to get above the fray and say something like “Arnold and I have been friends For years, and we can disagree on many things, but one thing that is very wrong in this country is to threaten violence against our President. No matter who you are.”
