The video for a remix of the song “Lavender (Nightfall Remix)” shows the rapper approaching the Trump clown and pulling the trigger of a gun.
The gun releases a flag with the word “bang” on it, as the sound of a real gun is heard in the background.
This is the latest to have caught Trump’s attention after Tuesday night’s release of the US Presidents 2005 tax returns.

In response to the clip, Trump suggested Snoop Dogg should be arrested for the act.
“Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!” the President wrote on Twitter.

Threats to kill or injure the president are illegal under federal law and are punishable with fines or up to five years in prison.
The President’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, told TMZ he was “shocked” by the video.
“It’s totally disgraceful. Snoop owes the president an apology,” Mr Cohen said.
“There’s absolutely nothing funny about an assassination attempt on a president, and I’m really shocked at him, because I thought he was better than that.”
