What would happen if Trump were to shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave?

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump said at a campaign rally here.

===============

He's too big to go to jail. So what would happen? He thought he had a gun? He was acting in self-defense?

Is he right? Would his supporters still support him?

1. He'd claim the victim shot him/herself.
2. He'd blame a third party.
3. He'd claim self defense.
4. He'd claim he wasn't there.
5. He'd claim he was removing a Clinton voter.

His supporters would make up stories how he's the real victim here.



You see, he was just defending himself from that other person. And that other person was no angel! Did you see those Facebook-pics?

And btw, Trump is the real victim here because the media is out to get him. They make a fair trial impossible. Lyin' media. How come Trump is put on trial for murder, but not Hillary?????

This was a setup, I tell you. Trump was tricked into this situation, where he had no choice but to shoot in preemptive self-defense.

How was he tricked? I'm glad you asked. The CIA and NSA and the military have been working on mind-control techniques for years and Obama and Hillary yaddayaddayadda.



And the Republicans? They would half-heartedly denounce him with the bare minimum of effort, afraid to piss of the republican fanatics who would still support a murderer.

And the media? They would stab him in the back in a heartbeat and ride on this tsunami of ratings to Nirvana.

It's pretty much impossible unless your the 1% or highly politically connected there.
