Snoop Dogg takes Donald Trump apart in his new Lavender video. Or at least to a clown-faced person called Ronald Klump.

In the video for the BadBadNotGood group's remix of Lavender, which frequently uses clown-headed people, Snoop points a dummy gun at Klump's head and pulls the trigger, causing a «BANG» flag to appear. Klump survives the altercation just fine.

And if you look closely, the real message may lie just after the fake headshot scene. The president of the clowns is in chains, and looks set to shoot a bar or two into Snoop's joint.

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 45th President of the United States, true to form, defends freedom of expression above all else, but he didn't take kindly to the clip. He went wild on Twitter, even invoking prison for Snoop Dogg.

When he hosted his reality show The Apprentice, Donald Trump, declared in an episode of season 6 that Snoop was the best, «one of the best-selling hip hop artists in the world».

This is neither hot nor cold for Snoop, who has better things to do than respond to an egocentric mono-maniac. Meanwhile, the clip has already been viewed 6 million times.
