A joke tweeted out about President Trump by comedian Kristina Wong is facing a barrage of criticism for being over the top and insensitive.
Wong was responding to a tweet from Melania Trump expressing her concern for former President George HW Bush following his hospitalization the day after the funeral for his wife, former First Lady Barbara Bush.
I can’t imagine what it feels like for George HW Bush to be a widow but Melania, I dream of the day you will be a widow all too often.

According to Newsweek, Wong’s tweet was reported by Trump supporters to Twitter as a violation of its standards.
Good grief. It must be a slow news week.
**Also, I was misquoted at the end, it should read “Wong said she stands by her tweet ‘because humorous is subjective.'”https://t.co/EUbZk4l9nW

Wong also reported the complaint about her was rejected by Twitter.
