Assassination threats against Trump now flood Twitter

Donald Trumps shock victory in the US elections has triggered a flood of calls on Twitter and other social media outlets for the President-elect to be assassinated and authorities will investigate all threats deemed to be credible, The New York Post has learned.


The development comes as demonstrators continued to take to the streets for a second day across the US against Trump`s victory in the country`s presidential election.

In Portland, Oregon, an estimated 4,000 protesters chanted "We reject the president-elect!", with some throwing objects at police, prompting several arrests.

According to The Post, a simple search on Twitter can reveal dozens and dozens of calls to gun down Trump.

• Some posts called for both Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence to be assassinated, and there`s even an #AssassinateTrump hashtag.

"Trump chose the literal worst case scenario as VP so nobody would try to impeach or assassinate him," one user posted on Twitter.
