Donald Trump Calls Out Snoop Dogg on Twitter

Not only do Florida Senator Marco Rubio and President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen have a thing or two to say about Snoop Dogg’s mock assassination of President Donald Trump doppelgänger in his new video “Lavender.” Now, the Commander-in-Chief himself has lashed out against the Long Beach, Calif. rapper.

Mr. President took to Twitter this morning (March 15) to belittle Snoop’s “failed” career and threaten the Dogg about “jail time.”

Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!

Rubio spoke with TMZ outside Reagan National Airport Monday (March 13) and asked him about his feelings on the video.

“Snoop shouldn’t have done that,” he said. “We’ve had presidents assassinated before in this country, so anything like that is something people should really careful about.”

He adds that if the “wrong person sees that and gets the wrong idea, you could have a real problem. So, I’m not sure what Snoop was thinking. He should think about that a little more.”

Cohen isn’t feeling it either. He went on “TMZ Live” yesterday (March 14) to respond.

“It’s totally disgraceful. Snoop owes the president an apology,” said Cohen. “There’s absolutely nothing funny about an assassination attempt on a president, and I’m really shocked at him because I thought he was better than that.”

Cohen also said that he doesn’t see the “artistic value” in Snoop’s mock assassination of a clown pistol Trump. The video is set in a parallel universe of clowns. A clown motorist is harassed and then shot by a clown police. Simultaneously, another young clown is recording recording the incident.

By the end, a clown dressed as the president stands with both hands in the air and Snoop aiming a gun at him. When the rapper squeezes the trigger, it only shoots out the the word “bang.”

“I would not have accepted if it was President Obama,” Cohen continued, “and I certainly don’t accept it as President Trump. In all fairness, it’s not funny. It’s not artistic.”

TMZ, however, spoke with other rappers Ice-T and Treach, who see the artistic value in the video.
