On Twitter, President Trump asked, 'Would Chris Cuomo be given a Red Flag for his recent rant?'
Not really a threat. Photo: Daniel Zuchnik/WireImage As millions of Americans woke up to the news that Chris Cuomo had threatened a guy for calling him “Fredo,” President Trump inserted himself into the most important story of our time with his usual measured perspective:
The tweet appears to be both an attack on Cuomo — the president would never miss the opportunity to go after a CNN anchor — and a joke about “red flag” laws, which grant authorities the power to remove guns from those who have been deemed unstable by their family or law enforcement. In the aftermath of the mass shootings in Texas and Ohio last weekend, Trump indicated his support for red-flag laws, which have recently gained traction as a point of rare bipartisan compromise. Since 17 people were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida in February 2018, the number of states with such rules on the books has more than tripled from five to 17.
