Journalists Covering Trump At Trial Fantasize About Him Getting Assassinated Like JFK

Covering Donald Trump's arrival at a federal court is hardly the time or place to be talking about assassinations, much less making jokes about them ... but that's what 2 journalists did, and they got busted on hot microphones. The 2 unnamed journalists were outside the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse Tuesday morning in Washington, DC -- waiting for the former president to pull up -- when they started assessing their position and whether they'd have a good view of Trump. Apparently, they forgot where they were and what they do for a living ... because with open mics all around they start joking about Trump possibly showing up in a convertible -- a la President John F. Kennedy in his ill-fated Dallas motorcade on Nov. 22, 1963.

Journo 1: “You know what the worst part is? Even if he has his window open and he’s hanging out of it, he will be on the other side of the street.”

Journo 2: “I mean, if he’s driving, we’ve got a good shot!”

Journo 1: “Yeah, if he’s driving with the front window open?”

Journo 2: “Yeah, or if it’s a convertible?”

Journo 1: “Yeah. I wasn’t thinking about that.”

Journo 2: “Yeah. Like if he just pulls up–”

Journo 1: “Like JFK?”

Journo 2: (laughs)

Journo 1: “Maybe someone, just like they told JFK. You know what you should do? You should take a convertible! It’s so nice out!”
