The video, which depicts a mock assassination of a Trump-like clown figure, has drawn a response from the President's lawyer and Sen. Marco Rubio, among others.
"It's absolutely disgraceful," Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, said Tuesday. "Snoop owes the president an apology. There's nothing funny about an assassination attempt on a president."
Trump's tweet marks the first direct response to the video.
