Miranda Devine: Hypocrite Dems playing dangerous game by fantasizing about Trump’s demise and condoning political violence

Over the Labor Day weekend, instead of enjoying the last days of summer with family and friends, Democrats and other Trump-deranged folk had nothing better to do than indulge in sick fantasies about the president’s death.

Hashtags like #trumpisdead and #whereistrump trended on X, with countless TikToks, Google searches and posts saying “TRUMP DIED” garnering millions of likes and views.

This was not a harmless meme or politics as usual. It was seeded by anonymous left-wing social media accounts and amplified by journalists and influencers to create a permission structure to fantasize about Trump’s demise.

Despite photos of Trump golfing with his grandchildren and his numerous long missives on Truth Social — including about the landscapers who ruined the new limestone paving in the Rose Garden — the rumor went viral.

Politifact traced the rumor’s origin to a tweet from a virulently anti-Trump “foreign policy” reporter named Laura Rozen, from Al-Monitor, who shared a screenshot of the White House presidential schedule and faux-innocently noted that Trump hadn’t been seen in two whole days!

Her post was viewed 34 million times and gave rise to countless copycats who dreamed up a White House cover-up and all manner of ailments that might have felled the president.

“How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Trump at an Oval Office press conference Tuesday.

“1.3 million user engagements as of Saturday morning about your demise.”

In the style of Mark Twain, who once famously said, “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated,” Trump made light of the rumor, and dismissed it as “fake news.”

He pointed out that he had a “very active” weekend.

“Last week I did numerous news conferences … and then I didn’t do any for two days, and they said, ‘There must...’

If the demoncRATS were in charge and some threatening violence against their god, you know they’d be having DOJ arresting people left and right. But because they’re promoting violence against our President, their reaction is “meh, no harm done.”

I think that what the Left doesn’t realize, at least quite yet, is that the re-election of Trump might have been fortunate for them. And imho, they’re blowing the opportunity to show the capacity to change, sort of an inverse of Ebeneezer Scrooge.

Democratic Underground has periodic threads with the title "Is He Dead Yet?"

IMHO, that alone should send some of them to jail, but what do I know - I'm just a lowly member of the proletariat.

The trend is now toward the Dems and other leftists breaking out into violence which they will call justified.

This is evil.

They will try like the eunuch Schumer and the slimy reptiles Colbert and others on late night TV that “it wasn’t serious, it wasn’t literally telling people to kill.”

But they know they are guilty. They are pushing other mentally ill types to kill.

Let’s remember that when the war breaks out.

What else would anyone expect from the Party of Hate and Evil?
