'Good news guys I've figured out how [his] campaign ends'
A columnist with the New York Times caused a social media stir with a tweet that joked of billionaire businessman and GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s assassination.

Shouldn’t the secret service be investigating this? Seriously.
Yea Trump is white and this guy is a dem so he has no worries!
Damn shame tho...
Absolutely...
He’s frequently excerpted over at HotAir (and linked to here).
He has “apologized” and deleted the tweet.
Every posting from now on should have a link to his “wish of death” on another human being.
This idiot should be fired! Imagine if someone had said that about 0bama!!
I would not put it past the Cheap Labor Express to try if nothing else works to stop Trump.
They can’t allow us to elect a President who will enforce the laws and borders.
In all seriousness, the establishment (of either party) does not like populists. Consider what happened to Huey Long and George Wallace.
Trump needs to be careful, very careful.
If you're a Democrat, you joke about assassinating Republican presidential candidates. It's what you do. If you want to save 15% on car insurance, you call Geico.
And the NYT will do.....?
I concluded several months ago that there would be an attempt on Trump’s life.It’s only logical;too much power and money on the line to allow him to derail the gravy train.
Writing stupid stuff like that about someone under secret service protection can have embarrassing outcomes.
I hope it never happens.
Yes Sarah Palin was blamed for Gabby Giffords shooting (by some) because she put crosshairs on a election map?
I guess animal farm was right, some pigs are more equal than others.
Trump, if it looks like he is going to win runs a great risk of being assassinated by the elites. Huey Long was taken out by the left in the 1930’s. Huey was viewed as a great threat.
...so many death threads.
Way over the line for any so-called journalist.
I doubt anything happens to the jackass.
Douthat is a Catholic religion writer, who with this tweet has destroyed his own reputation. He liked to come off as practically a theologian.
What we now know is he is a nut, siding with the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Open Borders & “pathway to legalization” crowd (Cruz/Rubiot/Kasich) pushers.
Well, if Trump can joke about murdering someone ...
