I personally think the orange Mussolini did, because he blabs anything that appears in that empty space between his ears. This is yet another case of Trump voicing every thought that comes into his head, and this one should have stayed locked up in his skull.

...And that “if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.”...“Although,” Trump quickly added, “the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know. But — but I’ll tell you what. That will be a horrible day. If — if Hillary gets to put her judges — right now, we’re tied [with four justices appointed by each party]. You see what’s going on.”

It's hard to make any sense of this drivel. Translated I get that gun rights supporters could do something about her picking the judges. It seems to have dual meaning. I agree with VegetableMan; I don't think he's dumb enough not to know what could be interpreted from his words.

I found this part of the article funny:

Quote:

“Forget politics,” the Timesman [Thomas Friedman} says of Trump. “He is a disgusting human being. His children should be ashamed of him. I only pray that he is not simply defeated, but that he loses all 50 states so that the message goes out across the land — unambiguously, loud and clear: The likes of you should never come this way again.”

What in the world could he mean by that?

It means exactly what it says. Lol

Makes for a very interesting read.

Our right to bare arms is a natural right guaranteed to us by our creator that shall not be infringed, not by Hillary Clinton or the Supreme Court. What do you think 'from our cold dead hands' means?

Our Declaration of Independence lays it out; it is our right and our duty to overthrow our government if it is ever to become tyrannical. The same rules apply to Trump as well Hillary.

That's sad. I hope he gets some support.

It's relevant since that is essentially what Trump was saying. Gun confiscation will be resisted.

'God'... if it's not outright religious delusion it's illogical incoherences. How about separation of church and state? Unless you want to be the Wild West of Iran, by all means... I suppose generally, for those who think that buying 10 assault rifles is a swell thing all one can do is suggest that perhaps turning them on each other could actually work as catharsis for them, and perhaps for everyone else in the aftermath...

...and, yeah, you think anyone seriously cares if anyone snuffs the supreme bigot, you reckon anyone will care? HE encourages ALL of this. If he didn't, like Gandhi or JFK or Lincoln, then anyone can be genuinely saddened... this sack of hatred on the other hand? Cancers are only removed medically... and no, media has nothing to do with it, unless you include his Twitter account as part of that... it's all anyone needs to know his true character (i.e. even if people watch/read nothing of anything mainstream).

By the way, this explains this 'misinterpretation' well: https://storify.com/AskDoctorPonton/her ... -joking-by

It's more like we inherently possess the right to defend ourselves to the best of our abilities, and that includes the right to own the proper tools. If it wasn't guns, it would be something else, and good luck trying to stop people.

You inherently have the right to act like a savage to your neighbour, sure...

Gosh it seems like so much in American politics is guided by fear. "They'll take our guns." "We won't be able to defend ourselves." It must be awful to be so afraid that you feel you need the means to kill someone at your disposal at any time.
I am glad I don't have to worry about being shot.

Anyway, the topic is not gun control; it is Trump's words that are at issue. However, if Trump can evoke fear of Hillary in the Americans by suggesting she'll take their toys away, he could be trying to motivate someone to kill her.

There are many reasons why people SHOULDN'T have the opportunity to shoot off a gun.

If you can't hit the side of a barn, you might hit your mother instead, rather than the burglar.

And all the fear mongering about Trump being the next Hitler isn't motivating someone to try and kill him why? Not that I'd be that broken up if either of them got shot, but at least be consistent.

Wow, we're fighting the same battle in two threads. Cool.

I'll say the same thing again. If Trump is perceived as a threat it is because of his own behaviour, not the coverage of it.

Well, some people are insisting on posting the same things about Trump in multiple forums, so here we are.

What about his behavior is threatening? I thought the idea here was that he was supposedly encouraging other people to be violent, not being personally threatening.

I was hoping to get a clear idea of the interpretation of Trumps words. And I did:

Trump is just smart enough to realize he could get away with the statement. It might have been designed to be a wink to the radical -- and violent -- sect of his followers.

I think Trump did intend a wink to his radical supporters. That's dangerous.
