Donald Trump tweets dig at Snoop Dogg over mock shooting in music video


Washington - President Donald Trump is firing back at Snoop Dogg days after the release of a music video in which the rapper points a toy gun at a clown dressed like him and pulls the trigger.

Trump tweeted on Wednesday morning: "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 video is for a remixed version of the song Lavender, by Canadian group BADBADNOTGOOD featuring Snoop Dogg. In it, Snoop Dogg shoots the Trump clown with a gun that releases a flag with the word "bang."

The rapper was also criticised over the video by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who lost to Trump in last year's Republican presidential primary campaign.
