"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?

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.
