The joke was dumb, the online reaction to the joke was dumb, a random UAP senator’s dumb comments being quoted globally was dumb and Rudd telling famous musicians and actors to “grow up and get a job” was very dumb. What a time we live in.

I get your perspective, and I love ious D, and I have no fond feelings for Trump. But however flippant and unserious, it is, on the surface, another call for assassination. Jokes encouraging political violence, especially about assassinating a presidential candidate right after an assassination attempt, are in pretty bad taste.
Sure, if you strip away all context. You can criticise the joke without hysterically maximising the intent behind it.
Yes, exactly, stripping away all context. It’s not about intent, it’s about the warped perception of public figures. The intent and context, no matter how true, are more subtle than the very real fact that it’s bad business.
