So obviously the Secret Service was concerned enough to investigate, so the sane part of America wasn’t wrong in perceiving this as an actual threat, right?
Hope they said they’re letting him off with a warning this time and I hope they weren’t smiling while they said it.
Luckovich nailed it!
Including his tiny hands!
A man who is incapable of speaking of sensitive subjects without making significant numbers of people think he was saying the worst thing possible – whether he was or wasn’t – shouldn’t be given a microphone, let alone the bully pulpit.
Countdown to Trump making some dumbass remark that will keep this in the headlines for several more days: 3… 2…
“The campaign told US Secret Service that Trump did not intend to incite violence.”
PolitiFact gives higher “Truth-O-Meter” ratings to Baghdad Bob.
So where does this leave Trump’s diehard fans? If Trump does not say what he believes and does not believe what he says what happened to the " he says it like it is" image. Additonally does this kind of loose talk bring into question his negotiating skills? What a sad story on modern journalism and politics
In attempting spin control Trump said “Hillary wants to take your guns away”. That is straight up bullshit. It would be way harder to do than deporting the millions of undocumented people in America. There are more guns in America than there are people.
. . . and I hope that the campaign reps whose job it is to moderate Trump’s future comments will continue to sweat about the “next time.”
“Next time,” they said, “you’re going back into the elevator. Understand, Creamsicle?”
Trump doubled down today on his epic fail of yesterday and now the Secret service is speaking to him (wish I’d been a fly on that wall)
I guess it’s time has come:
The first step to fixing your problem, GOP, is admitting you have one.
Clearly, having the USSS speaking to your candidate means you are winning.
The phrase “Second Amendment Rights” became a third rail following Sharon Angle’s use of it. Everyone knows what it means. Tronald Dump knew exactly what he was saying.
Sounds like they only spoke with his “people” but not the candidate himself. That’s strange.
I hope his campaign has a lawyer sit down with him to explain the ramifications. Not that it will do any good.
Listen to what trump says in this video
Putin: This is upsetting. I thought America was all about free speech.
did they casually display their 2nd amendment side arms when showing their credentials?
