His opponents are trying to figure out a way to "get rid of the guy," says the legendary comic. "It’s going to reach the point that, pretty soon, sooner or later, one guy is going to take a gun and shoot him.”
Jackie Mason, the 84-year-old Jewish comedian who has morphed into a political commentator, is warning the many GOP presidential hopefuls that they attack Donald Trump at their own peril.
In a pre-taped radio appearance scheduled to air Sunday, Mason refers to the Republican field as Trump’s "perfectly calculated opponents, who study and struggle to protect every word."
Trump, on the other hand, is a "bombastic powerhouse" and a "colorful, dynamic character."
In his interview, posted by The Hollywood Reporter ahead of its airing on Aaron Klein Investigative Radio in New York and Philadelphia, Mason will also excoriate the media for not understanding Trump’s appeal.
"He never even prepares what he is going to say and every time he talks he says something wrong that offends everybody, and 10 minutes later he gets more popular," says Mason, now one of the nation’s few comedians to publicly defend Trump.
Far more common is Trump as comedic whipping boy. "Today, Trump went to Texas to visit the border between U.S and Mexico and, this is very interesting, when he got there, other Republicans pushed him over the border," Jimmy Fallon joked Thursday night on NBC. After Fallon, Seth Meyers made Trump the butt of his jokes on six occasions during his one-hour show, according to research firm TVEyes. And Jon Stewart has made a running joke of Trump for days on Comedy Central.
The major Trump controversies Mason (and everyone else who talks about him) refers to are the presidential hopeful’s reference to illegal Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and his assertion that Sen. John McCain, who spent five years in a North Vietnamese POW camp, is "not a war hero."
The media keeps saying, according to Mason, that if Trump "makes another mistake he’ll be wiped out. Then, two weeks later he makes a bigger mistake. This is the most offensive mistake of all time, and everybody is celebrating. 'Thank God he’s finished.' Headlines in every paper: 'It’s all over.' Two minutes later he’s even bigger."
Trump’s GOP rivals are "disgusted" by him, says Mason. Mimicking their sentiments, he says: "He has no right to run for office. He has no right to be commander in chief. He has no right to exist. He should have passed away last Thursday. He has no right to even live on this Earth."
"You can’t even remember who said it, because the guy who said it is wiped out and is going down in the polls every day," Mason warns. "They are saying, 'What do we have to do to get rid of this guy?' It’s going to reach the point that, pretty soon, sooner or later, one guy is going to take a gun and shoot him."

Jackie Mason is a classic. He’s an old-timer who still remembers when people were loyal to the U. S.
Thank God for people like him.
The Lib shooter will loose.
From 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s0Yfwsey1M
He was genuinely funny in his comedy routines.
I love Jackie Mason. Always hilarious. Hope he’s wrong about this though.
lol Jackie has flip-flopped on Trump! Wonder why? Did he become victim of some illegal since 2011?
Yes, I agree. It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen some of this stuff, but I had a favorable memory of him.
I should look him up on YouTube and enjoy.
He’s another guy I remember from Carson.
I do miss that guy...
NAH.. nobody will try to kill Trump.....
UNLESS........................
TRUMP ATTACKS the federal reserve.. which is source of the democrats power.. and complicit republicans..
IF... he did.. he would have to go..
He would probably commit suicide with two bullets to the back of his head..
Like so many before him have..
Few say, admit, question 2 bullets? to the head.. and get on some ones radar..
Trump no doubt knows this..
Mason is an exceptionally bright fellow. I’m in the minority that never especially cared for his act, but smarts he definitely has. Worth listening to
I told my wife the same thing, a few weeks ago. Trump is too radical for the PTB. A hit will be arranged. The international puppetmasters can’t tolerate Trump’s sort of threat to the established order and plans.
I remember Mason on the Ed Sullivan Show till Mason allegedly made an obscene gesture at Sullivan.
Mason is funny as hell. You get his live performances and they’re still funny today. You hear him on radio now and he’s funny.
Everyone is ignoring Trump. Brett Bairs casino hardly has any money on him. They’re all in for Bush.
I’m loving it!
I’m right now for Trump, Cruz, Walker, Fiorina in that order.
For those who pray, we need to pray for his protection, as well as those who are also running. It’s a scary world out there. I did notice some big, suited guys with Trump everywhere he goes. I suspect they are his personal body guards.
Jackie Mason was the voice of “The Anteater” in the Pink Panther 1970’s cartoon show...
I don't pay attention to what the talking heads say. Most, if not all, of them have been compromised by Democrats and Republican elites like Karl Rove. They will promote Jeb or whichever loser they are told to promote.
We voters have to use the brains God gave us and vote for the candidate we believe will best represent us, not some schmuck Fox News or some other media outlet tries to foist on us.
He hangs out at a place in my neighborhood. Not saying which one.
I love his comparison of Chinese food and Jewish food: A half hour after you eat Chinese food, you’re still hungry. A half hour after you eat Jewish food, you’re still eating.
Trump no doubt pays for the best security money can buy. More power to him. I know I wouldn’t want to mess with those guys.
