Faces in the crowd - What do you think THEY thought Trump meant?

pay attention to the guy in the blue baseball cap over Trump's right shoulder
But specifically the guy in the white beard and red golf shirt on right side of the screen.

1. Trump is inciting nutjobs, perhaps in the hope of eliminating the competition? Unprecedented.

at :24 in this clip...

This is past the "joke" part about 2nd amendment people.

This is NOT being played on MSNBC or CNN and it is the most telling thing about his comments.

It absolutely destroys the notion that he was talking about 2nd amendment voters voting for Trump. It is clearly a dog whistle (or train whistle) about killing Hillary should she win. Donald knows this so he immediately adds the phrase "that will be a horrible day".

What a POS. And what a POS that the news media is NOT covering this all the way and make it clear what Donald J. Trump is saying.

Trump's statement may realistically be considered as a death threat against Hillary Clinton. Trump is a proven lunatic, and the Pro-Gunners have been preaching for years that the 2nd Amendment is NOT about hunting---it is about the ability to violently overthrow governments with which you disagree. End of story. Let's wrap Trump's words around him and force him to live with their consequences.
