Trump Jokes That Gun Owners Can 'Fix' the Clinton Problem

Wtf? I thought it was illegal to hint that people should kill a President, even if you are joking. Don't do us gun owners any favors, Mr. Trump. We are more likely to have our rights removed if some idiot does what you suggest.

Can the FBI please make a public case out of this incitement to commit assassination of the president? And can they please try the case in Texas, where they still execute the mentally deficient?

slickheadsays...

Barack Obama is president when he said this. Hillary is not yet.

Let me Trumpify that for you... "Many many people are saying that Trump won't release his tax returns because they would show multiple large donations to NAMBLA. Believe me."

newtboysaid:

I just read that the reason he won't release his tax returns is they would show multiple large donations to NAMBLA.

newtboysays...

Nice, of course he wouldn't have READ it. ;-)


More seriously, he's now saying that he obviously meant the "2nd amendment people" would vote as a unit to stop her, not shoot her, and the outrage over this threat is pure media bullshit and hype...forgetting that in the scenario he was describing at the time Clinton had already won the election and was putting anti-gun judges in place, at which time...."nothing you can do, folks...although the 2nd amendment people, maybe there is", so obviously, unambiguously, incontrovertibly, voting was not what he meant for numerous reasons including the election being long over in his scenario.

"Multiple, very large, very generous donations to NAMBLA. They were, frankly speaking, incredible donations, the best donations. Nobody has done so much for the members of NAMBLA, especially not Obama and his crooked administration. Sad."

Khufusays...

the difference between what you think and what you do are important. To be fair to Trump though, he could have just meant the 2nd amendment people could "rise up". Which they could, but they'd be bumbling idiots when pitted against the army and/or media.

So popping a cap into a Clinton is a bad thing?

About 1/2 the country think that that would be a good thing.

The other 1/2 think putting a cap in Trump would be a good thing.

Put a cap in both and vote for @newtboy.

Babymechsays...

There are some differing, conflicting theories on the origins and correct usage of the phrase "bust a cap". The only time, however, that it's ok to "put a cap in" someone, is if it's their Make America Great Again cap and you're showing it up their asses.

Didn't Hillary also make an implication about Obama being assassinated in 2008? Only I don't recall anyone making as much of a big deal about it back then. Meanwhile, this quote can actually be construed as Trump pointing out that gun owners would be the only ones able to fight back against their gun rights being taken away in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

If you compare both quotes side by side, both are fairly innocuous. It's just that the media blew one of them way out of proportion. Don't let the media lead you by the nose.

(And before the angry comments come, I am FAR from being a Trump supporter. I felt the Bern, and now I'm burning Green.)

heropsychosays...

Ummm, no.

Hillary Clinton said she would continue her primary campaign because you never know, and gave RFK's assassination as an historical example of someone who appeared to have the nomination well in hand, and then suddenly didn't. She CLEARLY wasn't telling anyone to go assassinate Obama, nor implying it.

The only valid defense of this Trump clip is he was talking about the people can use their guns to stop their guns from being taken away, which at best is inciting violence against the government. The worst part is he's telling hardcore gun right advocates they could do this against the odds on favorite next president of the US for a policy she doesn't even support.

There is no equivalency between Hillary Clinton's remark and this Donald Trump clip at all, just like even if you don't like Hillary Clinton at all, equating Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as candidates is also ridiculous.

There's two big differences between them as far as voters see them. Both are disliked very much.

However, there's a large portion of the people who hate Hillary Clinton do it for completely fabricated reasons. This isn't to say that there aren't some reasons to hate her. But when Trump and the GOP are going around saying stuff like "Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the 2nd Amendment", which absolutely isn't true in the slightest, gosh, I wonder if there's a portion of the electorate who will hate her for a complete falsehood. Who could it be? Hmmmm....

Again, don't get me wrong, there's plenty to not like about her. I've said numerous things about the whole email thing, which I still can't believe she ended up doing something that stupid.

Trump? Well, I'm sorry, but he's said so many things at this point to piss so many groups off, they hate him for things that actually are true. He did target Muslims for discriminatory policies. He has said disparaging remarks about women, implying a news anchor who disagreed with him must be on her period, and women who get sexually harassed should find another job, not the people who were doing the sexual harassment. He's said most Mexican immigrants are rapists, murderers, and drug runners. And Hillary Clinton is mostly hitting on stuff like that, you know, stuff he's ACTUALLY said. In fact, one of her attack ads is just a barrage of clips of Trump saying Trumpy stuff with kids watching it. There's not a shred of evidence Hillary Clinton has ever come out in favor of completely abolishing the 2nd Amendment.

So, you can say half the country hates her, but come election day, when she wins by what appears at this point to be a margin larger than Obama thumped Romney, CLEARLY Americans like Clinton a heck of a lot more than Trump overall.

"I thought it was illegal to hint that people should kill a President, even if you are joking."

She's not a president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threatening_the_President_of_the_United_States

"Trump Jokes That Gun Owners Can 'Fix' the Clinton Problem"

Here is what he said:
"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 said "maybe there is" something that they (the 2nd Amendment people) can do - but he doesn't know. Pure weasel words.

Considering they are weasel words, I see an awful lot of reading into them.

It's also worth remembering that after they followed his instructions, he quickly reneged on his promise to pay their legal fees and left the man hanging with an assault charge.

Januarisaid:

You know its worth remembering that it wasn't that long ago Trump was encouraging his followers to assault people protesting at his speeches. Even offering to pay their legal fees.

They did. Only really takes one.

Obama seemed to think so... "It was described by the New York Times as “one of the worst days” of her career, and the Obama campaign said the remarks were “unfortunate” and had “no place in this campaign." Boom...

And also, what the fuck? Maybe the second amendment people take her out--at the voting booths and vote for him? There was the implication for that. Bad implication. He didnt mean it. But it is there.

Tell me you didn't just quote the main political opponent of Obama at the time to prove your point. That's like asking Trump to verify Clinton's words right now.

newtboysays...

Saying your opponents statements are "unfortunate" and have "no place in this campaign" is a far cry from thousands in your own party including hundreds of elected officials and those who previously publicly gave their support saying your statements are "criminal threats" are "dangerous" and "clearly inciting violence" and "have absolutely no place in American politics or America at all".

In Trump's scenario, Clinton was already president and already installing her judges....no voting possible...."nothing you can do", no vote to make by anyone...."except the second amendment people"....who also can't vote against her at that time. Absolutely no implication for voting her out.

Boom!
