Did Donald Trump Just Suggest Assassinating Hillary Clinton?

Well this should disqualify Donald Trump. If he can't control his fat mouth in a campaign how will he ever be able to serve this country's interests abroad?

"Donald Trump on Tuesday warned his supporters that if Hillary Clinton were elected president and appointed members to the Supreme Court, there was nothing anyone could do about it – but then added that, given the Second Amendment, maybe there was.

“If she gets to pick her judges ― nothing you can do, folks,” Trump said at a Wilmington, N.C., rally with a shrug. “Although: the Second Amendment, people, maybe there is. I don’t know.”

What Trump was actually suggesting was not clear. However his veterans affairs adviser found himself in hot water when he said that Clinton should face a firing squad over her use of a private email server.

Trump’s campaign did not respond to queries about his remark, but at least one person attending the rally appeared to sense the comment was out of bounds."

Yeah--what can anyone expect out of Donald Trump's mouth. He just doesn't know when to shut it. Now can you imagine him as POTUS dealing with foreign adversary's, who are supposed to be able to read his mind, was he joking, was he being sarcastic or do we launch now to get the first strike.

Well this should disqualify Donald Trump. ...
Duh. You act like you're stupid enough to think he really wants to win. Why would a person with billions of dollars want to be chained to a fucking desk for 4-8 years? Who is fucked up enough to believe he would willingly do so? Besides you, I mean.
Yeah, it is starting to look like he wants to lose. In any reasonable world the GOP candidate should be walking away with this one. Hillary is an all time terrible candidate. She fought a protracted primary fight. She's associate with a previous scandal ridden presidency. Her resume for the job is Senator and middling successful Secretary of State. She's following up a two term President with a tepid recovery. This should have been a walk in the park. And yet, Trump is looking like he's going to lose by 8+ points is the general and may hand Hillary a fair share of traditionally Red States and the Senate.
 
He was saying those who support the second amendment would mobilize efforts to oppose judicial nominees who were a threat to the second amendment.
Here's what's really going on: The MSM is desperate to deflect attention away from two big stories unfavorable to Hillary: The growing attention being focused on her health issues, and the fact that the father of the Orlando nightclub killer was invited to share the stage with Hillary at a campaign event in Florida. If Donald Trump hadn't made the comment about the second amendment, they would have manufactured a controversy about some other remark he made today.
 
Trump should be stripped of his Secret Service protection and the RNC should terminate his nomination.
 
Barbara Boxer: Trump's assassination threats forfeit his right to secret briefings

Given his threats of violence, Donald Trump has forfeited his right to top secret briefings.
 
Explain what? Encourage NRA people for voting? What's wrong with that?
Well, according to trump's statement Hillary "GETS TO PICK HER JUDGES" therefore the election is over and the voting is already done and Hillary won which allows her to pick the judges!!!!

“By the way, and if she gets to pick - if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”


He meant overthrow at worst.....those country is incredibly corrupt...the media is worthless
So you think a violent overthrow of the American government is somehow better? :cuckoo:


you're talking to someone that wants to abolish 90% of it. I bet he/she would agree with such.
 
He was saying those who support the second amendment would mobilize efforts to oppose judicial nominees who were a threat to the second amendment.

Yes, I'm sure every squirming angry and frustrated mind in that audience was getting that same message. Either that or he was saying the NRA has more power than the electorate and owns elected officials with the power of their might? Which is it?
 
The Founding Fathers made this crystal clear and unambiguous. We have the Second Amendment so we can prevent dictatorial psychopaths from taking away our rights. Make absolutely no mistake. That's what it is meant to do. There is not one word in that amendment about personal self-defense. It does however, discuss securing our freedom.

That's nice. But that's not the meaning Trump imparted to a crowd just after he made them frustrated/angry before he insinuated a "second amendment' remedy for a POTUS-elect. Watch the video in the OP when you get a minute.

From Trump's own mouth, it appears that Trump meant for people to shoot Hillary AFTER she won in the Fall.

If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” he said.


Trump then added, “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”

"Nothing you can do folks..." (Building anger/frustration in the crowd)

The only way she could get to pick her judges is if the election was over and she won. So, the claim this was about 2nd amendment people using the vote to bring Hillary down is moot. This was quite evidently a suggestion to shoot her after she won the election. Given violence that has already happened at Trump rallies at his incitement; and also his cavalier comment about shooting someone in the face and getting away with it earlier on in the primaries, a full investigation is warranted.

I'm going to add this at this point because Trump claims this girl's allegations against him are false and the statute of limitations should apply. Her contention is that she feared for her life when she alleged that Trump threatened the lives of herself and her family if she told as a child/minor; and thus the delay in coming forward. Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, he just gave credence to her allegation that he is capable of making these types of threats: Case Alleging Trump Raped 13 Year Old Girl Is Re-Filed In New York

Just a final thought. Obama controls the Secret Service at this point. I am personally calling for an official investigation into this remark by them and the FBI. Given what happened to Gabby Giffords as a result of other incitement to violence by certain media commentators.. which may have sparked the attempted assassination on her...this remark must be given full and serious attention.

Pay attention to the gray haired man with the gray beard wearing the red shirt just to Trump's right. Look at his reaction and sharing that reaction with his wife. No doubt he clearly understood that a 2nd amendment remedy to POTUS-elect was exactly what it was.



This isn't a typical "let's just talk about it" thread. This is a call for a federal investigation into the incitement/legitimizing of assassinating a specific elected official. In other words, the "funny" has worn off and this is now a crime.


He was talking about tyranny, you know the one that 2nd amendment was written to protect against? You know the one that Hillary fights for?

Understanding this would require a brain, which unfortunately you do not have.
 
He was obviously talking about first taking the guns away then taking the vote away.

Remember when Obama was stockpiling ammunition in the White House Basement, so he could come and take your guns away right after he was re-elected?

What about when Obama was invading Texas, and setting up internment camps in the basement of the Walmart? Operation Jade Helm, think it was called.

How about Obama suspending the Constitution and running for a third term?

Trump just advocated murdering his political opponent. You don't get a "He was joking" on this one because he wasn't. People are walking out of his rallies. They didn't get the joke either.
