Donald Trump: Hillary Clinton's secret service detail should disarm, 'Let's see what happens to her'

[pnwmom]

Source: Guardian

Mere hours after he appeared to put one of the oldest criticism of his presidential campaign to bed with the acknowledgment that President Barack Obama was born in the United States, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told supporters that his opponent’s 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. “Let’s see what happens to her.”

Speaking at a campaign rally in Miami, Florida, Trump criticized Clinton’s stance on gun-control issues, characterizing her stance as wanting to “abolish” the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms. (This claim has been debunked.)

If Clinton were truly as anti-gun as she claims to be, Trump told the audience, her Secret Service detail should disarm itself.

1. i don't think it a joke. I think he wants her to get HURT. I think he wants his people to HURT her

[Frustratedlady]

6. Sounds like a signal to some of his deplorables to me.

I don't like that at all.

Is there going to be a link?

[wordpix]

42. absolutely. Secret Service should investigate why Trump is being inflammatory

and inciting his crazy minions to do nutso things.

This is like Shakespeare, in a modern slow motion way.

[world wide wally]

59. That is 2 times he has made veiled appeals for his supporters to resort to violence to silence his

political opponent.
Do we wait for 3 strikes?
Or wait for him to succeed?

[TipTok]

64. What would you have them do?

[world wide wally]

66. Uuhhmmm…. arrest him and charge him with inciting violence or even sedition maybe?

Maybe fraud or conspiracy to defraud? Anything to keep him off the streets.
There is plenty of video evidence against him.

[TipTok]

67. Definitely not how that law works...

While trump has certainly committed fraud countless times in his past, it doesn't apply here either.

[world wide wally]

68. You can be his attorney

but at least the publicity won't be good

[TipTok]

69. It's just silly...

... and another indicator of authoritarian leanings.

That line is so old I'm sure my grandparents heard it in their day and has been said about every notable gun control advocate in the modern age.

We haven't thrown the millions of regular civilians who have said it in jail and we haven't thrown of the uncounted politicians in gaol for sedition who quipped it either.

[world wide wally]

71. So, if I publicly suggest one of my friends kill you… that is ok?

[world wide wally]

74. Try this

[trueblue2007]

73. I would have the secret service get SOME BALLS!!! Do a proper investigation.

why can't the dept of justice throw the book at trump. Threatening sec of state Clinton's life.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Trump is lashing out; very upset his infomercial blew up in his face. Trying to seize the news cycle

[wordpix]

43. what infomercial? The one that's on all day every day?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

51. The hotel infomercial today with vets as props & the 1 paragraph birther press conference w no Qns.

[DawgHouse]

24. I agree. Teach her a lesson is his reasoning.

This guy isn't funny anymore.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. August

[Ccarmona]

57. Trump Keeps Going

As a "legitimate" candidate even though any other candidate would have been disqualified by now.
Howard Dean was done just for one "inappropriate" scream.
The media just doesn't want to give up its meal ticket and it's a shame.

[wordpix]

45. I agree, he's gone over to the truly scary side

unfingbelievable

[GWC58]

58. He never really was!

He's been a stain on this nation a long time, even before his escalator ride to infamy.

[MBS]

35. " " " " n/t

[Justitia]

48. I AGREE.

What the fuck is even happening in this country anymore?

[wordpix]

53. 8:22 ET, link doesn't work. WTF?

[vdogg]

2. Don't see a link.

[pnwmom]

5. Adding one momentarily.

[KewlKat]

9. CNN just showed him speaking somewhere moments ago....doubt it's in writing yet.

[pnwmom]

12. Thanks. I just edited it to use the Guardian article instead.

[whathehell]

3. Promoting violence against her again? Let's disarm his

Does this sick fuck need another visit from the secret service?

[trueblue2007]

55. be belongs in jail for inciting violence. Threatening Sec Clinton

[smirkymonkey]

77. This!

[KewlKat]

4. I just watched him say it.....D E P L O R A B L E!

He keeps pushing and pushing these stupid statements egging and urging his cult to do something. He again needs to be talked to by the FBI.

[trueblue2007]

7. I think he was 100% truthful. I heard what he said. He is mocking her

and he is inciting his people to violence. TRUMP WANTS HILLARY TO GET HURT.

that is my take on what he said. Trump is an EVIL HATEFUL MAN. I've said this before. he's LIKE Anti-Christ evil.

[Chemisse]

17. That's a little hyperbolic

And yet - amazingly - you are absolutely correct.

[MBS]

36. " "" " " " n/t

[world wide wally]

61. He honestly thinks that Hillary getting hurt is his ONLY path o victory

And his philosophy is "victory at any cost"

[Chemisse]

8. Can you edit to include the link?

[KewlKat]

11. no link yet,,,they just replayed a clip of his speech, which is still going on. Then showed it to

the panel.....fresh news....no story yet.

[pnwmom]

13. I edited to include a link from The Guardian.

[Judi Lynn]

10. A total P.O.S. Criminally insane. n/t

[bunnies]

15. IIRC, this is not the first time it's been said this cycle.

Not sure if it was Trump the first time, but this is no surprise.

Edit: yes it was trump. Back in May.

[TipTok]

65. That line has been used for years...

... On a wide variety of politicians who are perceived to be anti gun for the masses.

[bunnies]

81. Republicans. Ever the classy ones.

[Rocknrule]

16. But but but Hillary said deplorables!

And something something emails and Benghazi!

Daughter-fucking orange piece of shit

[wordpix]

46. oh my!

[Chemisse]

18. The Donald can only be held in constraints for so long.

And when he bursts, out comes his ugliest spewage.

[bluestateguy]

19. He's getting ready to pivot to the general election

nt

[Mc Mike]

44. Wait for it... wait... nt

[bucolic_frolic]

20. No class, no conscience, no empathy

sadistic narcissistic psychopath

beware ... beware ... be very afraid of what he will unleash on America

[Rocknrule]

21. I knew it was only a matter of time

before he opened that vile hole in his face again and said something disgusting

This election needs to be the biggest Humiliation Conga known to man for him. In a sane world, he wouldn't even win Oklahoma.

[wordpix]

47. well said and lol

[CarrieLynne]

22. she needs to call out all the 'deplorable' behaviour

live examples as they happen...

[wordpix]

49. exactly- don't stay away from it, call out Don the Con, Mr. Deplorable Himself

[Thinkingabout]

23. Poor judgement on Trump's part. Again in loud words, he is unfit.

[Vinca]

25. That sounded threatening to me.

Kind of wink, wink, nod, nod to the gun nuts.

[vadermike]

26. Ok

Where is our media on this ? Did this just get picked up

[pnwmom]

29. I first heard it on CNN, and then I found a piece on the Guardian. I think they are picking up on it

and quickly.

[wordpix]

50. good. Do your jobs, msm, and stop being passive or worse

"Hillary, let's spend 10/30 min. of your commander in chief forum time talking about your emails..."---Matt Lauer

27. Every day he says something that, if possible, is more disgustingly crass than the previous day

[Paladin]

30. Hey, Trump: You first, motherfucker. (nt)

[DinahMoeHum]

76. +1000s

God help him and his minions (AND. THEIR. CHILDREN.) if anything. . .ANYTHING !!!!!
happens to Hillary Clinton, Tim Kaine, or ANY other Democrat.

'Cause AFAIC, they will get back what they're throwing: Ten. Times. Over.

[Sand Rat Expat]

92. ...

Yes, because harming the children of one's political opponents is absolutely a fantastic idea. What the hell is wrong with you?

Trump is absolutely out of line here, and in a sane world the Secret Service would be sitting him down for a good long heart-to-heart. Alas, we don't live in a sane world. If one of his nutjob minions harms or attempts to harm Hillary, then let the law do its thing and prosecute the person who acts and the person who egged them on. Leave the children out of it. Jeez.

[canetoad]

31. This would not pass

A high school logic exam.

[Rose Siding]

32. He purposely uses this stale trope to stir someone up to hurt her

He's vile. If every gun owner were as trained, tracked and identified as SS details, AND underwent the psychological evals they do, we wouldn't have gun issues.

[Stonepounder]

38. Will no one rid me of this troublesome bitch? n/t

The man is extremely dangerous!!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

33. This is one of the oldest RW talking points in the book....

What's sad is every time they repeat it they think they're being original.

[bluestateguy]

41. Nobody is more trustworthy with guns than Secret Service agents

It's some of Trump's hayseed supporters that give me concern.

[wordpix]

52. hayseed and haywire

[Stonepounder]

34. Here's a link:

[pnwmom]

39. Thanks!

[wordpix]

54. comic relief: "He tried to put the birther issue behind him today." LOL

This POS has now publicly aired his call for his minions to disarm Hillary's bodyguards. Birtherism is big but this is going to be bigger. Mr. Scary may have bitten off his own butt this time.

[dhill926]

37. what in the hell of fuck?

this is beyond any kind of conceivable pale....

[smirkymonkey]

40. This is so wrong!

There should really be a law against it. It's treasonous.

[DemonGoddess]

56. Jeezus

and yet he is allowed to do this, yet again.

[napkinz]

60. video ...

[llmart]

62. This creep has the mental maturity of a ten-year old.

Next thing you know, he'll be saying, "I know you are, but what am I?"

He is truly a piece of work. How any person in this country can even consider voting for him is just unfathomable to me.

[chelsea0011]

63. He is a sick fuck

[AllyCat]

70. He really is a sick f@ck isn't he?

[Rocknrule]

72. Getting sick of the "der takin r gunz" hysteria

Someone really needs to explain to Trump that the 2nd Amendment can only be changed by CONGRESS. The president can't do it. Well, maybe in Trump's 'When I become king' fantasy, he could. But in the real world, nope.

[HAB911]

75. I thought the SS or FBI

had spoken to him about threatening speech about the other candidate?

[smirkymonkey]

78. Stochastic terrorism

Stochastic terrorism is the use of mass communications to stir up random lone wolves to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable.

[Loki]

79. I wonder what his Secret Service detail thinks of that?

Attempting to put their lives in danger by suggesting that someone would try to hurt Hillary if her detail went unarmed. As someone who lived through the assassination of three great men and the shootings of two other presidents, this isn't funny. Not at all. Who will put a stop to this cretin? It's time to put this monster out of business and behind bars or institutionalize his insane ass.

[Sunlei]

80. birther crap didn't give the Republican party enough weekend chaos, so they allow more deadly calls

wonder whos hacked emails republicans will 'selectively leak' next.

[napkinz]

82. this is the second time he's made this kind of insinuation ...

[riversedge]

83. REC.

[Coventina]

85. Enjoy your brief stay!

MIRT! Clean up on aisle 84!

[HAB911]

86. Nothing would happen

2nd Amendment types have no balls

Bye bye Axel

[NoMoreRepugs]

87. I just spent 3 weeks at the family farm near the Ozarks...

the goobers there think ISIS is an imminent threat to THEM, that the Obama administration is attempting to relocate 100,000+ Syrian refugees to central Missouri by the end of the year - received 3 pieces of mail asking for $1000 donations to fight this in one week! - that HRC is going to follow through on Obama's desire to take all their guns and that a Democratic Presidents Supreme Court nominees will eliminate their daughters' right to choose - yes- they are so far past stupid that it makes you want to wear a mask and not breathe the local air...

[riversedge]

88. Some--many of them are unfixable for now. It will take decades to undo all the

fox news--hate radio-the basketofDeplorables, etc propaganda on their brains.

[riversedge]

89. Trumps reckless talk also puts the Secret Service at risk-as they try to

protect their assigned people.

[erpowers]

90. Let Him Disarm

Since he claims he supports the 2nd Amendment right to bare arms, he should disarm his Secret Service detail. If Trump was as truly pro-gun as he claims he would disarm his Secret Service detail. Donald Trump's supposed belief is that he is better off with he and his supporters having guns. So, why does he not drop his Secret Service detail and allow whatever happens, at one of his rallies, or campaign events, to be dealt with by he and his supporters?

Does Donald Trump allow people to bring guns into his rallies? Did Trump allow people to bring guns into the Republican National Convention? Are people allowed to bring guns into Trump hotels? As far as I know the NRA did not allow people to bring gun to its convention. I do not recall Donald Trump demanding the NRA allow people to bring guns to the NRA convention.

Why should the person who wants highly trained law enforcement equipped with the proper tools to prevent violence give up her Secret Service detail? Her Secret Service detail seems in line with her beliefs. However, a Secret Service detail may not be necessary for someone who claims if he is armed he can defend himself.
