Washington Post and the AP also have the story:

This is what I never will understand. When it comes to presidents and other elected officials here in the US. You don't like them or their policies you can VOTE them out. When it comes to President even if you don't vote them out of office for a 2nd term that's fine. They are gone after they have served their second term. When I would hear ppl talking about oh maybe we should kill Obama (joking most often) I was always like just vote him out. When he won his second term I just went to the mind set of, that's fine he is gone in 4 years no matter what. We are not a dictatorship where once in power the president stays in power. We as a people have the ability to remove leaders without resorting to killing them.

Where's the fun in that?

Exactly. Besides, I think the secret service takes assassination talk pretty seriously.

Yeah a couple of times when this talk came up, I knew they were not SERIOUS but kind of was creepy. Other times it was just random talk and bs jokes going back and forth so I was chilled with that. The two creepy times I distanced myself from those people as fast as I could. I wasn't going to take a risk of a year later being implicated somehow IF they were not kidding.

I never talk of that shit. I don't like Trudeau, but I don't want him dead. Killing a leader makes them a martyr. If you don't like the guy, killing him is the last thing you want to do.
