Amazon allowed a retailer to sell “The Only Good Trump Is a Dead One” apparel starting a week before – and for nearly two weeks after – a would-be assassin shot former President Donald Trump:

Trump was shot on July 13.
The apparel was pulled from Amazon on July 25, after news and images of it went viral on social media.

While Amazon told FOX Business on Thursday that the shirts have been removed "due to noncompliance with our guidelines," which claims to bar products promoting or glorifying violence, Amazon offers many products “that directly could be linked to inciting violence and hatred”:

Still, as Twitchy explains, sale of items with the slogan appears to be legal, since it does not call for imminent harm to a specific person – though the retailer may soon be getting a visit from the Secret Service…just to be sure.
