Donald Trump Fine With Supporter Who Called For Hillary Clinton’s Execution

Source: Huffington Post

In July, Al Baldasaro, a Republican state representative in New Hampshire, said Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton “should be put in the firing line and shot for treason.”

And now Donald Trump says he is unfamiliar with the remarks.

“I didn’t know that but I will tell you he’s a very fine person,” Trump told a New Hampshire TV station on Thursday. “He is a person that loves the military and loves the veterans.”

Baldasaro is an advisor to the Trump campaign who has spoken at Trump events, and he was a delegate to the Republican National Convention. His widely-reported call for Clinton’s execution prompted an investigation by the Secret Service, not to mention lots of condemnation.

What he or anyone else said. The world is such a baffling mystery to him that he tries to not think about it.

literally no interest in anything that he does not relate to himself, probably trying not to think about anything else is not his problem.

But when something forces him to, now and then wouldn't little realizations of (possible) ignorance break through, quickly gone, but still...? He once explained something to the effect that he doesn't actually have to think, he just knows stuff, part of being so superior.

Well, this is a trumpism they unfortunately can't put in a political ad, powerfully revealing and shocking as it is.
