Trump shocked by Anthony Bourdain death
Washington Examiner ^ | June 8, 2018 | Caitlin Yilek

President Trump said Friday he was shocked to hear CNN host and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain took his own life while in France.

Bourdain, 61, was found dead in his hotel room after apparently hanging himself, CNN reported. He was in the process of filming an upcoming episode for “Parts Unknown.”

Trump said he was a fan of Bourdain’s show and extended condolences to Bourdain’s family.

“I want to extend to his family my heartfelt condolences,” Trump told reporters Friday. “That was very shocking. When I woke up this morning, Anthony Bourdain is dead. I enjoyed his show.”

“He was quite a character,” Trump continued.

Bourdain, who was critical of Trump, joked in 2017 that he would poison the president if he had to cook for him.

Bourdain is the second high-profile figure to die of suicide this week. Fashion designer Kate Spade was found dead in her home earlier this week after taking her own life.

Trump also sent his condolences to Spade’s family.

So it’s ok to joke about killing the President? I’ll take to Twitter, make a funny and let you know how it works out.

Bourdain fantasized about poisoning Trump and the end of white people. The platform of the Democrat Party, boiled down to two items.

joked in 2017 that he would poison the president if he had to cook for him.

That "joke" should have landed him in Leavenworth. Just try making a "joke" like that about any Democrat President.

Politics aside, this guy seemed to have a lot going for him. Celebrity, multi-millionaire, he got to travel the world eating and drinking exotic foods for a living...

I'd be interested to get the backstory on his apparent suicide.

Back to politics, I liked his show and read one or two of his books. When he started holding forth on his political views, it was a turn-off for me. It wasn't that he was a liberal, but that he showed such hate for people that were conservative. That was not a good look.

Why all the hate? That's the part I don't get. Not just Bourdain but many other leftists as well. I don't waste my life hating people who I disagree with. Not sure if that hate played into his suicide but wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Life is too short to be bitter and hateful. That side of Anthony Bourdain did come out over the past year or two.

Way back in maybe January there was something about people being “allowed” an easer way out through suicide.

Probably his girlfriend cavorting thru Rome with another man a couple of days ago didn't help.

Think if someone joked about poisoning Barack Obama.

They would be fired on the spot if the joke was made about Obama.
