The Funniest Tweets About Johnny Depp’s Trump Assassination Joke

Johnny Depp has been making quite a few headlines, recently. Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with an announcement of Pirates of the Caribbean 6: I Don’t Know, Maybe Jack Pissed Off, Like, Aquaman?, but rather Depp’s controversial Trump assassination joke. Whilst onstage at the Glastonbury Festival yesterday, Depp asked the crowd, “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?” Not content to simply let that comment fester, Depp continued, “I want to clarify: I’m not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it’s been a while, and maybe it’s time.”

Obviously, everybody and their mom has lashed out against the ill-advised joke—and several news outlets report the White House strongly condemns the joke as if that needed clarification— and we’ve compiled a few of the funniest tweets on the matter.

Johnny Depp grew up here in South Florida. For us it is very easy to understand his erratic bizarre behavior. Typical down here.

Of course Johnny Depp‘s opinions cause controversy. He thought being in “The Tourist” was a good idea. I’ve disagreed strongly for years.

If Johnny Depp hadn’t immediately said he didn’t mean it & told supporters to kill HRC & BHO he could’ve been invited to the WH w/Kid Rock.

Hating on Johnny Depp is now the one thing that both liberals and conservatives can agree on. It’s a start.
