Race, you seem like a nice person who would not purposefully misquote someone. Trump never said anything about shooting people in the face. His original reference, along with a couple of subsequent references, were as follows:

“They say I have the most loyal people—did you ever see that?—where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters.”

Someone or other had commented on the loyalty of Trump’s supporters, and illustrated the comment, and Trump liked what he heard. He repeated it, with the preface, “They say”.

Subsequently it’s true he ommitted the ‘they say,’ preface. Perhaps by then he thought people knew he was referencing someone else’s quote? In any event, he never mentioned shooting anyone in the face.

Also bear in mind that Cruz joked about backing his vehicle up over Trump [which would have the result of either mangling or killing him]. That’s far more specific than Trump’s repetition of a third party’s illustration.

To: Fantasywriter

are you really picking at words?
Going from shooting someone in the face to quoting him, as you say, he could shoot somebode...and then claim there is any moral difference between the two statements??

That I am to be disbelieved because of that moral difference??

Your comments are exactly what I have been screaming about, it doesnt matter what truth comes out, trump supporters defend him

do I really have to say stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and all of a sudden it would make you roll your eyes and see the light??

Are you serious???

Biblical level of delusion.
