Donald Trump suggests Snoop Dogg should go to prison for 'assassination music video'
Donald Trump has suggested Snoop Dogg should be arrested for pretending to shoot him in a music video.
"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!" the President wrote on Twitter.
The artist had been criticised for shooting a toy gun at a character resembling Mr Trump in the video, and the gun releases a flag with the word "bang" on it.
The President's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, told TMZ he was "shocked" by the video.
"It’s totally disgraceful. Snoop owes the president an apology," Mr Cohen said.
"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."
Florida senator Marco Rubio previously said: "If the wrong person sees that and gets the wrong idea, you could have a real problem. Snoop shouldn't have done that.
"We've had presidents assassinated before... so anything like that is something people should be really careful about."
