Two weekends ago, Donald Trump supporters met at his Doral Miami resort for an American Priority conference.

For some reason, somebody thought airing a violent parody video was a good idea, with the video showing Trump murdering his political opponents and various media outlets in a scene edited from Kingsman: The Secret Service.

You’ll notice the late US senator John McCain makes an appearance, as do Rosie O’Donnell and Bernie Sanders.

Details below via the Telegraph:

In the video, Mr Trump’s face is superimposed on a killer’s body as he shoots people in the face and otherwise assaults them. Among the targets: former President Barack Obama, Black Lives Matter, Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Rep. Adam Schiff, who as Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is leading the impeachment inquiry of Mr Trump.

CNN, The Washington Post, BBC, PBS, NBC and Politico are among the news organisations depicted as victims of the fake Trump’s violent fury.

Strap yourselves in:

Clearly, Donald Trump had no part to play in putting this together (the man can barely tweet without a typo), but it’s not a great look when you consider that some of his supporters have been arrested for plotting violence against his opponents and media outlets.

He does love a dumb meme, though – that CNN video comes to mind, for a start.

The organisers of the conference were quick to distance themselves from the video:

Alex Phillips, event organiser, told the Times the video was played as part of a “meme exhibit” and was not associated with or endorsed by the conference “in any official capacity.”

“American Priority rejects all political violence,” he said, and is looking into the matter.

American Priority later said in a statement on Twitter that it had not been aware of the video and did not approve it…

The video includes the logo for Mr Trump’s 2020 campaign but Tim Murtaugh, spokesman for the re-election organisation, told the Times the “video was not produced by the campaign, and we do not condone violence.”

I wonder if Donald himself will offer a condemnation, or does that risk alienating too many of his voters?
