So? Trump said it himself: "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters"

A lot was made of that when it was used out of context.

See Snopes for the reality:

It's true that Trump made the "shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue" remark widely attributed to him across standard and social media sites.

However, the (somewhat clumsy and crass) comment also generally appeared absent of its broader context, which pertained to the loyalty of his followers, and not an actual desire, intent, or interest in shooting any individuals for the sole reason that he believed it would have no effect on his popularity.
