https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2016/sep/16/donald-trump-barack-obama-birther-movement-election-livethis was just said, and commented upon at CNN.
in the context of his claiming that Hillary is intent on taking everybody's guns away.
he used the word bodyguard instead of SS, which was cited on TV
the bobbleheads were clearly taken aback, especially by the "Let's see what happens" remark.
this is old news, apparently. anybody heard about this before? seems pretty appalling. I never heard/saw/read this:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=trump+take+away+clinton%27s+bodyguards%27+guns
did he do this to take everybody's attention off the birther mess?
it's what he does, and it always works

(28,795 posts)exact quote, from CNN; thirty seconds ago, from the same "Let's see what happens" rant
>>>edit....I was in such a hurry to get this up. he might have said 'interesting' instead of 'dangerous'
senility creeps in....wishful thinking, perhaps
it'll be out there soon, though
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)so far, not much play on that word at CNN/MSNBC
might've missed it....clicking back and forth, but I saw most of a very heated discussion on CNN, in which Kayleigh and Boris once again, in a most vituperative, obnoxious, mendacious way, attempted to defend the indefensible

(13,254 posts)snip from the article>
Mere hours after he appeared to put one of the oldest criticisms of his presidential campaign to rest with the acknowledgment that President Barack Obama was born in the United States, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told supporters that his opponents Secret Service detail should disarm itself due to what he characterized as her opposition to the Second Amendment.
Take their guns away, Trump said of Hillary Clinton, his Democratic opponent. Lets see what happens to her.

(1,132 posts)Trump's lowest point today will probably be his least covered: Making fun of the terrible accident that blinded Harry Reid in one eye.
Holy shit, what a repulsive human being.

(28,795 posts)this one deserves its own extended delving, though
he should be expecting another visit from those unarmed SS agents very soon

(90,515 posts)Unlike Trump's entourage, which mingles his personal hired thugs with the SS -- that must be an odd mix.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)with the SS?
can't imagine how that would work
you sure about that?
I could google it, but I'm much too important to be bothered, and my PA is out getting me some refried sushi

(90,515 posts)...about a bully-boy working for DTs who said he could make certain problems miraculously disappear. That is: If someone has some adverse info about Trump, he makes sure he accumulates twice as much adverse info about that someone; and then the problem goes away, poof. Sounded like blackmail to me.

... Trump didnt distance himself from Baldarsaro. Rather, he praised him. Two days ago, Think Progress reported, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has confirmed that his adviser who once called for Hillary Clintons execution is still part of the campaign Al has been so great, Trump said. Wheres Al? Wheres my vet?

(21,525 posts)I'm terrified on her behalf, knowing how crazy Trump supporters are, and seeing him keep dropping these dog whistle phrases. I'd be afraid to show my face in public, secret service or not! Her bravery only makes me know even more we are making the right choice for president.

(2,531 posts)Why should only some people have the right to have a gun for personal protection? I don't think he should be attacked for his opinion on gun rights. I share the unpopular opinion that we have the right to bear arms. The tongue in cheek nature of his remark is obvious.
As to what happened to this thread after the first post, unrelated stuff that I would not want to post about.
