Donald Trump has hinted at the assassination of Hillary Clinton by supporters of gun rights.
The Republican nominee was speaking at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, about the next president’s power to appoint supreme court justices. “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” he said, adding: “Although the second amendment people – maybe there is, I don’t know.”
The second amendment to the constitution protects the right of Americans to bear arms. Trump has accused his Democratic rival of wanting to abolish it, a charge that she denies.

“This is simple – what Trump is saying is dangerous,” said Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook. “A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way.”
Jason Miller, a communications adviser for the Trump campaign, attempted to explain the candidate’s comments. “It’s called the power of unification,” he said. “Second amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power. And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump.”

He is doing a damn good job.
When did he say assassinate?
Probably just motivating them to vote for him.
Read your first paragraph again, hotshot.
Trump doesn’t have to explain anything!

On Facebook someone I know hates Trump and said we all know that Hillary cannot remove the 2nd Amendment. I just shake my head and want to say it didn’t stop she and others from doing things that they should not do!
Never. If Trump wasn’t the nominee they’d be going after who ever else it was. If you have an R after your name, you’re the media’s enemy.
Media buys targeting her famous "what does it matter," "Tax the middle class," "lies about the FBI and her server," and most recent terrorist father (Taliban supporter) invited to her rallies can put her away.... and there is so much more.
He can drive her negatives into the nineties. She will never recover and the media can't cover for her.
They are more creative than that even. They can find a way to twist his silence too.
Of course.
One more SCOTUS judge and the 2nd Amendment will be completely “re-interpreted”.
It will take probably a year to do it.
During which gun sales will set all time records.
Be prepared.
Sent...we’ll see.
I couldn’t agree more!
Patience, grasshoppa !
AMEN
Wrong. He said nothing wrong. Turn on OAN and hear his entire speeches. The audience loves it.
Kind of funny. Hillary is such a bitch, she can’t even take a joke? Good grief.
Hillary won’t do anything with the 2nd amendment. That would be too hard. She’ll subvert the 2nd Am through the courts.
She’s a big King Kamehameha Bee-otch!
You see it too. Don’t you?
Something is going on. Something symbiotic. Donald has run interference for Hillary at his own expense , over and over and over.
The only thing I can’t figure out is what does Donald get out of this, what sort of ultra-mega deal be worth all this time and toil.
A second possibility is that he has self destructive tendencies, and literally cannot control what he says and when. A third possibility is that Donald DOES know what he’s doing, is in control of what he’s saying and is producing the effects on the public that he wants at any given time. That is certainly a strong possibility. I will be the first to admit I know nothing of politics first hand, certainly not on that level. So, yes, I admit I could be missing the forest for the trees.
Exactly. Trump is fine. The media are lying.
