If East Hollywood’s Justin Hook had thought longer, he might have added a Road Runner saying “Me-Beep!” to his viral online game “Push Trump Off a Cliff Again.”
Like Wile E. Coyote, the president’s avatar is never killed. Just keeps coming back for more — 3.1 million times and counting.
Meanwhile, Rosie O’Donnell is taking right-wing grief for tweeting the link to the game.

“Many of O’Donnell’s followers seemed to enjoy the game, but many other users condemned the comic for plugging a website that could be interpreted as promoting violence toward the President — especially in light of fellow comic Kathy Griffin sharing a photo of a bloodied, beheaded Trump mannequin in May,” said the New York Daily News.
“The game … requires players to use a few simple controls to push a cartoonish version of the President off of a rocky overhang. Other versions include him walking into a volcano, falling into a New York City sinkhole and getting eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex.”

Rosie O’Donnell is promoting a game where you kill Trump.
It would be a shame if someone made a game for @Rosie called “Feed the Pig…”
