Senecal, 84, like millions of other senior citizens, uses Facebook to share his personal thoughts. He was once suspended for posting material that was in violation the service's guidelines.
"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!!!!!" Senecal wrote Wednesday, in a post he made visible to his Facebook friends. "Instead," he added, "he still remains in office doing every thing [sic] he can to gut the America we all know and love!!!!!"

Senecal has used the Confederate flag in his posts on several occasions, posting comparisons between Obama and Hitler or Lenin, complaining that Muslims are "invading the country," and alleging that the current US President is a crypto-Muslim whose goal is to destroy America.
"Our current 'president' is a rotten filthy muzzie!!!!! Period!!!!!! He continues his war on Christians!!!!!!" Trump's long-term employee posted on September 18, 2015.
According to the story Senecal tells, he became Trump's butler in the early 1990s. In 2009, he says, when he told Trump he would resign, the mogul asked him to stay on at Mar-a-Lago as an unofficial historian. Although there is no salary, Senecal says he makes money by leading tours of the estate.

Senecal has called for the President's assassination and posted approving comments for posts containing similar content. In an interview with Mother Jones the ex-butler confirmed the posts were written by him.
"I cannot stand the bastard," Senecal declaimed, when asked why he called for Obama to be killed.
The Secret Service said Thursday it was investigating the statements.
"The US Secret Service is aware of this matter and will conduct the appropriate investigation," agency spokesman Robert Hoback wrote in a statement, according to the Hill.
