Eric's wife Lara Trump appeared on FoxTV and spoke against all the hateful things being said against the Trump family. She highlighted the pop culture wave against Trump in power and said it's really sad.She reacted to Depp's controversial comment and said, " The people in this country are sick and tired of this sort of things.They don't think it's cute, they don't think it's funny.

Hollywood star Johnny Depp has apologised for joking about assassinating US President Donald Trump. "I apologise for the bad joke I attempted last night in poor taste about President Trump. It did not come out as intended, and I intended no malice. I was only trying to amuse, not to harm anyone," Depp said in a statement. The actor's joke, what could be a reference to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth in 1865, was made during an appearance at the Glastonbury Festival. "When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? I want to qualify, I am not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it has been a while and maybe it is time," Depp had said. Shortly after news broke of Depp's comments, the White House issued a statement strongly condemning the joke and calling on others in Hollywood to speak out.

"President Trump has condemned violence in all forms and it's sad that others like Johnny Depp have not followed his lead. I hope that some of Mr Depp's colleagues will speak out against this type of rhetoric as strongly as they would if his comments were directed to a Democrat elected official," the statement read.
