Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago Barack Obama Assassination Plot Investigation

One of Donald Trump's longest serving employees, who has waited on the Trumps since 1959, butler and alleged Trump organization henchman Anthony Senecal, who served as Trump's personal manservant for over 30 years prior his promotion to his current post as the acting historian of Trump's Mar-A-Lago estate, is, as of May 2016 under official Secret Service investigation for an alleged assassination threat on the life of President Barack Obama. Senecal has called for the death of Obama by hanging or military firing squad repeatedly and publicly, for many years, during his tenure in Trump's employ In what is perhaps the pithiest of the many, many public statements in which Senecal has been revealed to have called for, openly advocated, or declared his intentions to assist, bringing about the death of Barack Obama, Trump's beloved personal butler (and long-time footwasher and bunyon-remover) states bluntly: "This prick needs to be hung for treason!!!"

The threat is one of many Assassination threats against Barack Obama that have been uncovered during the Presidency of Barack Obama. As of yet, none of these threats have succeeded. Amongst other such similar statements, Senecal has declared his belief that Obama " should have been taken out by our military and shot as an enemy agent in his first term!!!!!", adding that he would consider taking Obama out himself if it wasn't "so far to drive." The threat has been taken seriously enough to prompt federal investigation. While all death threats against presidents or other national leaders are independently notable historical events, Senecal's death threats against Obama are particularly notable due to Senecal's longtime closeness to the presumptive Republican nominee in the 2016 election, Donald Trump, whose feet Senecal has washed for many years. In fact, American Historians claim this is the first time in American History that a servant or employee or operative of one presidential candidate has issued public death threats against a sitting president.

In May 2016, after publication of some of Senecal's social media posts by Mother Jones, it came to public attention that Trump's #2 has repeatedly called for the death by hanging of President Barack Obama, whom Senecal has accused of treason. Ironically, publicly calling for and inciting the death of a sitting president of one's nation is generally regarded by most American legal scholars as sufficient grounds for criminal proceeedings for treason in itself. Thus, Senecal's comments entail that he is guilty of the very crime which he accuses Obama. As a result, Senecal has been questioned by the Secret Service in connection with his declarations, and a criminal investigation is underway, as with previous Assassination threats against Barack Obama. Obama has been subject to a number of similar threats by Elderly White Men like Senecal, who may be old enough to remember Slavery Times in the United States, or at least, to have close relations who remember this period fondly. Obama, as is well known, is America's first Black President after its nearly 400-year history of Slavery in connection with the Atlantic Slave Trade,and its subsequent system of legalized Apartheid under Jim Crow Laws, which lasted more than a century.

According to Senecal, long believed to Trump's right-hand man and only true friend, Obama is a "Kenyan fraud" (a long disproven racist canard largely originally promulgated by Trump himself), and asked compatriots to be "counted in" for an operation of hanging Obama from the "portico" of the "white mosque" (implying that the White House is a mosque, since a Black man, who must be a Muslim, sits in it). More fully, Senecal has professed his intention to strive relentlessly towards Obama's Death until Senecal's own time is up, declaring: "W]ith the last breath I draw I will help rid this America of the scum infested in its government--and if that means dragging that ball less dick head from the white mosque and hanging his scrawny ass from the portico--count me in !!!!!" Given the unequivocal nature of the statement “With the last breath I draw I will help rid this America of the scum infested in its government....and if that means hanging his scrawny ass from the portico--count me in!” it is plain that Senecal has declared his intention to kill Obama. The investigation for these threats continues to unfold.

Senecal has not retracted any of his remarks, replying to inquiries from Mother Jones after it published his remarks by remarking, "I wrote that. I believe that."

Many pundits have opined that Trump himself may be behind the plot, in revenge for having been humiliated by the President's cutting wit at the "infamous" 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner. As of May 2016, it is unclear as of yet whether Trump will be investigated.
