Depp reGrets trump joke

GLASTONBURY: Johnny Depp on Friday apologised for joking about assassinating US President Donald Trump, saying his remarks were in “poor taste”. The Pirates of the Caribbean star spoke during an appearance at Britain’s Glastonbury music festival on Thursday when he pondered how long it had been since an actor had killed a US President. His remarks drew rebukes from Trump supporters, and the White House described Depp’s remarks as “sad”. Depp on Friday said his remarks were not intended maliciously. “I apologise for the bad joke I attempted about President Trump,” Depp, 54, said. “It did not come out as intended, and I intended no malice. I was only trying to amuse,” Depp was at the Glastonbury festival when discussion turned to the topic of Trump. Depp said he thought the President “needs help”. “Can we bring Trump here?” Depp asked the audience. “When was the last time an actor assassinated a President?” Actor John Wilkes Booth assassinated US President Abraham Lincoln in 1865. “Now I want to clarify, I’m not an actor,” Depp continued. “I lie for a living. However, it’s been a while, and maybe it’s time.
