Did Donald Trump Just Suggest Assassinating Hillary Clinton?

[Yousaidwhat]

These are his words. You decide.

The candidate made the comments after telling voters in Wilmington that his Democratic rival wants to “abolish” the Second Amendment.


“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.”


Almost immediately, social media lit up with accusations that Trump was essentially calling for someone to kill Clinton.

Of course, his supporters who know how to 'translate' into what he really meant will say he was just suggesting they had some OTHER option to combat the Supreme Court and Clinton. ?? Hm. What might that option be for a group of gun owners?

It's still a bullshit faux outrage.

Elizabeth Warren Fires Back At 'Pathetic Coward' Donald Trump After Assassination Suggestion

Thank you, Senator Warren.

I watched what he actually said on NBC and even though those like you will claim he made a threat but the actual fact is he made a stupid remark as usual.

He did not tell those owning Guns to commit violence and had he then I would be calling for him to be removed from the GOP ticket and thrown into a mental institution.

Although you may be correct, it is not Trump unintentional gaffe that should be scary, it is the lingering insanity by some of his acolytes that is downright dangerous. As trump's chances diminish even more, some nut looking for "fame" may just hear what he wants to hear.

Planning on going off to prove you are right?

seems like selective outrage to sane folks

I suppose that we can look forward to a few days of "clarifications" from his minder.

At least it will give Mr Khan a break.

Ahhh, Mr. Khan; the gentleman who has claimed that there is no such thing as Sharia Law, even though in the 1980's he claimed there was. Mr. Khan is using what is called, "taqqiya," misdirection (lies) to infidels to protect the religion.

No, this is Mr Khan the American father of an American war hero. He got sick of trump dissing his dead sons memory.

Care to provide a quote of Trump "dissing" the dead son?

Khan is a rich ass lawyer that makes money off rich Muslims trying to get into the US. He stands to lose a lot of money if Trump is elected. His law firms have also donated quite heavily to the Clinton Foundation, so Hillary owes him some favors.

He's a piece of shit Muslim from a foreign country. Muslims don't think twice about sacrificing their own children for their political goals.

He is more American than you.

Hello! McFly!

It was, as a wise poster early in this thread said, a wisecrack. The kind of sardonic joke I might have said talking to friends, but not while wearing my Presidential Candidate Hat. He didn't mean for anyone to shoot anyone. He needs to learn to "play the part" while he's being Presidential. I suppose it takes practice for someone who has always been self-employed and the "boss," but really. He seems hopeless.

voting to protect their 2nd amendment right

Everyone knows 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.”

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 a suggestion to shoot her after she won the election.

If you missed it!

Trump has a core following of nutcases who firmly believe he can do no wrong.

About half of them are apparently here on USMB. What is funniest about them is that they seem to think their unique dementia over Trump is some sort of mainstream phenomenom.

Hmmmm. Where have I heard this before?

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

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.

At a minimum the RNC should prosecute this. The public is watching.

The Secret Service was in attendance.

According to you he should have been escorted off of the stage.

exactly

trump said the 2nd amendment people (republicans -democrats- independents) need to make their votes count

and make sure that hillary does not get elected

 

[easyt65]

Trump clearly made reference to some sort of 'horrible' act. That's how he described it. Horrible.

Like Hillary becoming President.

(IT WAS A JOKE!)

 

[Yousaidwhat]

It's obvious what he meant. He said, "There's nothing you can do...", meaning from a legal standpoint, before making his controversial comment.

Good point. Also if she's already able to appoint Justices where there's "nothing you can do", it means the vote is over when he wants 2nd amendment remedies to be employed upon Hillary Clinton as POTUS-elect.

This is not only an incitement to shoot a person, but an indication that Trump also finds it reasonable to attempt to assassinate a US President.

Very disturbing, and a federal crime. Trump must be investigated. Now.

 

[Divine Wind]

Trump suggests people who support the 2nd go shoot mrs. bill? Moonbattery on full display, again.

Ummm, no, he didn't. What is true is his comment was ambiguous leaving it up to Moonbats to think what they want. In this case, the Moonbats want Trump arrested for an assassination attempt on Hillary.

[SECRET SERVICE PULLS MR. TRUMP INTO A SEPARATE ROOM AND ASKS...]

SS: Mr. Trump, what did you just mean by your comment?

TRUMP: I meant those who believe in the 2nd Amendment and the NRA should use their political power to push back against any Hillary attempt to strip Americans of their 2nd Amendment rights.

SS: Thank you for your time, sir.

Meanwhile Leftists repeatedly called for the assassination of George Bush, even making a movie depicting his assassination. After the Clarence Thomas hearings, Leftists said they hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs so he dies of a heart attack as black men often do. Another Leftist got angry with a Trump supporter and went and got his gun and shot him at a bar.

And on and on and on....

What leftists? That movie was made in another country by foreigners. It had nothing to do with the American left.

The appropriate analogy you're looking for is if Al Gore, while running against George Bush in 2000, had suggested Democrats rely on the Second Amendment to prevent Bush from being able to appoint federal judges.

You all serve the same puppet master.

Every day it's Trumptards trying to come up with some believable explanation for the latest stupid thing Trump has said,
and that's one less day the talk has anything to do with Trump's 'winning' agenda on the issues.

Does that help Trump? Or would Trump do even worse if the talk was in fact about the issues?

All you have to do is post the link and the exact words where Trump called for Hillary to be shot / assassinated. You make it sound like an easy thing to do, so let's see it. If you can't, then you are just projecting your own negative connotation to what he said. Waiting....

So how do you think a crazy moonbat Trump supporter might interpret his words? Think they could construe it to be a message to them to assassinate Hillary?
