So, they are using tax payer $ to show Trump being stabbed to death on stage. This is insane.
And please no "but how did you feel when Obama doll was strung up", that's not acceptable either so say how you really feel and don't use excuses.
This is sickening!
Don Jr tweeted that he wonder how much public funding was used for this play.
Reality is The Public Theatre recieved no grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and relies on sponsors, private donations and ticket sales from other productions. two corporate sponsors, Delta and BOA pulled their sponsorship of this production.
While I doubt I would see this production, keep some things in mind.
The assassination of Julius Caesar led to a massive civil war which became a regional war, and ended the Roman Republic. Rome's great heroes were disgraced. In the end, Caesar's nephew Octavian wound up taking absolute power and ruling as a dictator. The parallel would be if Trump was killed, another American Civil War would start which would end American democratic republicanism forever, and after it was all over Jared Kushner would become dictator of America.
Caesar's death was a very bad thing for Rome, and Trump's death would be a very bad thing for America. One does not have to have voted for Trump (I did reluctantly) to recognize that political violence usually achieves the exact opposite results intended by the perps.

Yeah, the message of the play is that the assassines were ultimately wrong in their actions.
Regardless of that , where was the feigned outrage over productions that featured an Obama like Ceaser, both Clintons, both Bush's, and any number of other world leaders? This is nothing or original.

Trump may be a lot of things but he is not Julius Caesar.
Too many people have yet to realize political assassination is a very bad way to operate a government. I suspect that Vladimir Putin will realize this sooner then the Donald could even comprehend the concept.
