Former President Trump baselessly claimed on a podcast last week that the tragic incident on the set of “Rust” involving actor Alec Baldwin and cinematographer Halyna Hutchins might have been intentional.
Baldwin fatally shot Hutchins in October when he fired a prop gun containing a live round. Authorities are investigating the matter, but no charges have been filed so far. The 63-year-old actor has said he is “fully cooperating” with the investigation.
Trump, who admitted he does not know the actor, told conservative podcast host Chris Stigall he believed it was strange that Baldwin would point a gun at a cinematographer and not a fellow actor on set.
"As bad as it may have been kept, meaning you know the people that take care of the equipment and the guns and everything else… But even if it was loaded, and that's a weird thing — maybe he loaded it," Trump said before discussing Baldwin’s imitations on Saturday Night Live.

"He's a cuckoo-bird, he's a nutjob. And usually, when there's somebody like that, you know, in my opinion, he had something to do with it,” Trump said.
"But if nothing else, how do you take a gun and just, whether it's loaded or not loaded, how do you take a gun, point it at somebody that's not even in the movie and just point it at this person and pull the trigger and now she's dead?" he added.

It’s a fair point. I fully agree.
“Point it at somebody that’s not even in the movie and just point it at this person and pull the trigger and now she’s dead?”
Baldwin should have been charged by now.

Agree with President Trump. The whole thing is fishy.
I figure it was. Always have.
He is known to be violent and angry.
“prop gun” I stopped reading right there
but I may agree
Negligent homicide. Failure to obey even the simplest training on firearm safety. Baldwin should be in jail...
Real gun Real bullets = Real dead.
Involuntary Manslaughter
..........I said (on FR) within 24 hours of the event that I thought that the known circumstances at that time “suggested” intent on somebody’s part. So, I definitely agree with Trump, as nearly always.
Totally agree.
That’s what a lot of people wonder. Hopefully there will be
JUSTICE FOR HALYNA!!!!
Maybe he’ll be hounded, berated, and made fun of.
Did ya’ll see the photo with him carrying the woman like she was shot?
The Hill is pathetic.
No, this isn’t about Baldwin. It’s about Trump. Everyone
should know that.
Trump isn’t thinking anything the rest of aren’t thinking.
Baldwin’s production set was in a lot of turmoil, for
safety issues.
I don’t see how he doesn’t get some form of very serious
punishment for this. Someone died due to his or his
production company’s negligence.
He should see prison time.
As usual Trump touches on the TRUTH. WHY?...
Because it seems to be the ONE questions that continues to go UNANSWERED.

Baldwin pulled the trigger and Halyna died. Maybe she had rebuffed his advances?
His temper is well known, just play those voicemails he left for his daughter. And he was pissed off with the labor troubles that day.
Because the scene being rehearsed was him drawing and pointing towards the camera.
This is a nothingburger and Trump would have been better to comment about just any other aspect of this fustercluck event.
” Failure to obey even the simplest training on firearm safety. “
Who in the hell grabs a gun without checking the chamber, making sure the safety is on, let alone point it at another person???
Can’t Hollywood use fake guns? Why would you ever take the risk of using a real one?
What a brain dead group.
