Donald Trump's butler of 17 years has repeatedly called for President Obama to be shot and hanged, according to an investigation by Mother Jones. While the butler, Anthony Senecal, has a public Facebook page, he wrote in a private post published Wednesday that Obama should have been "shot as an enemy agent":

To all my friends on FB, just a short note to you on our pus headed "president" !!!! This character who I refer to as zero (0) should have been taken out by our military and shot as an enemy agent in his first term !!!!! Instead he still remains in office doing every thing he can to gut the America we all know and love !!!!! Now comes Donald J Trump to put an end to the corruption in government !!!!
