Plenty of people want to see Trump hurt. It’s already gotten way out of hand.
And now a shocking assassination threat against Donald Trump put the White House on lockdown.
Drag Queen Sparks Outrage with Mock Assassination of President Trump in New Orleans
A shocking drag performance in a New Orleans bar has ignited national outrage after a performer mimicked the assassination attempt on President Trump, according to a viral video.
The disturbing act, posted online by Libs of TikTok, shows a drag queen wearing a black cowboy-style hat and a leather outfit forming a gun with their hands, first aiming at the audience. The performer then turns toward a screen behind the stage, which plays footage of the July 13 assassination attempt at the Butler Farm Show in Pennsylvania.
As the clip of Trump being shot in the ear plays, the drag queen makes shooting gestures, as if they themselves were the gunman.
To make matters worse, the performance was set to Rihanna’s song “Man Down,” with lyrics highlighting, “I pulled out that gun.”
Social Media Demands Investigation
The location of the bar where this tasteless act took place has not been confirmed, but the backlash online was immediate and intense. Many social media users argued that the performance wasn’t just offensive — it could be criminal.
The video, which has amassed over 3.5 million views, prompted several users to tag the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Secret Service, calling for an investigation.
“That is a direct threat! Arrest her now,” one user wrote.
Another commenter was disgusted by the normalization of such behavior, saying, “This is just ridiculous. I don’t care what side of the aisle you are on. Giving this type of lunacy a platform is disgusting and dangerous.”
Even those who typically defend artistic expression recognized the severity of this performance. “Normally, I would say this is ‘art’ and covered under First Amendment rights, but this crosses the line in so many ways,” another user posted.
Of course, a few attempted to downplay the outrage, with one contrarian writing, “It’s entertainment, folks. Lighten up. Remember, tolerance goes both ways now.”
A Pattern of Trump Derangement in Leftist Culture
This latest stunt is part of a long history of deranged, violent imagery targeting President Trump from Left-wing entertainers.
In 2017, washed-up comedian Kathy Griffin sparked backlash when she posed for a photoshoot holding a fake severed head of Trump, a grotesque display that cost her jobs and credibility.
That same year, rapper Snoop Dogg released a music video in which he pointed a gun at a Trump lookalike and pretended to shoot him. However, in a dramatic shift, Snoop recently performed at one of Trump’s inauguration celebrations, acknowledging the need for unity.
“We gotta learn to pick each other up instead of pulling each other down,” Snoop Dogg said after facing criticism for participating in the 2025 event.
Super Bowl Spotlight on Trump’s Presidency
The controversy comes just days before Trump is set to make history once again, becoming the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. The championship game will be held in New Orleans on Sunday, putting the city — and its Leftist underbelly — under the national spotlight.
While Trump continues to lead with strength, his political opponents and their enablers in entertainment seem intent on glorifying violence against him. The question now is: will federal authorities take this latest incident seriously?
