What's up with Trump supposedly putting someone's life in danger?

I disagree. It's dishonest to think that Trump's video "equates another politician with the people who did the attack." The video is a rebuttal to Congresswoman Omar's (poorly chosen) words downplaying the 9/11 attacks. The video takes the words she said, shows the ridiculous nature of her word choice, and that's it.

The leap in logic required to think that the video insinuates she is a terrorist responsible for 9/11 is...difficult to overcome. At worst, the video is a targeted bit of political media aimed at making a mockery of Omar's words.

Trump has done a lot of bad things. But to say this video somehow calls for the assassination of a Congresswoman or that it portrays Omar as responsible is simply unjustified.

There are enough valid grounds for criticism of Trump already. We don't need to resort to incendiary claims like "that's an attempt to get people to assassinate her". The only result of such inflammatory comments is that when 'casual' readers of the news see headlines or comments like that, they automatically assume them to be untrue or exaggerated.
