Assassination threats against Trump flood Twitter

The shock and anger over Donald Trump’s ascension to the White House has triggered a flood of calls on Twitter and other social media outlets for the president-elect to be assassinated — and authorities will investigate all threats deemed to be credible, The Post has learned.

Trump met Thursday with President Obama in the Oval Office, with the Republican businessmancalling the hour-plus session a “great honor.” Obama said they had an “excellent” and “wide-ranging” conversation, while urging all people to “now come together.”

But that message of inclusion was apparently lost in social media circles, particularly Twitter, where a simple search can reveal dozens and dozens of calls to gun down the next leader of the free world. Some posts called for both Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence to be assassinated, and there’s even an #AssassinateTrump hashtag.

We didn’t act like these spoiled brats (WAHHHHH!) are
acting when BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA was elected . . TWICE
we accepted reality, got up and went to work. We did not
march, protest, LOOT, burn or any other type of civil
disobedience.

They need to learn YOU DO NOT ALWAYS GET YOUR WAY!

Since 0bama is still President, I have to wonder why she's calling for him to be murdered? Is she that much of a Trump supporter?

These people don't really think at all, do they?

I can’t believe the SS isn’t handling this — unless that’s another organization in the tank for Obama and Clinton.
