It really was a stupid question for a presidential candidate.
Trump actually had a very thoughtful and accurate response. So he wins.
I thought President Trump’s answer was a good one, what would YOU have done, since YOU weren’t there, media twit????
I look forward to the day when Trump will tell the stupid questions asked by stupid “reporters” that they are just that.. stupid/dumb/ridiculous... and not answer.. stop the stupidity before it gets out of hand.. going from one dumb question to another dumb question.. like they don’t have any intellect in their heads.
ISIS is chopping off heads, our economy is in the toilet, and the media is asking Trump about a GORILLA..someone should ask Hillary Clinton about the gorilla and her response will be “Which one, the one Im married to or the one in the zoo”
Once the kid was in the Gorilla pen in the grips of the gorilla, what else could you do? You had to save the child.
Remember the woman that was blinded and had her face chewed off by a chimpanzee? This was a gorilla, larger and more powerful.
But it should never have gotten to that point. The parents should have watched their kid and the zoo should not have exhibits that kids can get into.
The other reporters are just jealous that he got to ask before they did......................
Hunter Walker if a fine idiot reporter.
Cincinnati Gorillas would make a good name for a sports team.
People would have to be mature and openminded enough to stop thinking any reference to gorillas or apes must be a racist reference to black people. Sometimes, a Monkey is just a Monkey.
The media is out to get Trump, but not hillary. Did the bastards ask hillary?
I remember a few years ago, a girl climbed into the Minnesota’s Zoo’s meerkat cage and got bit.
They had to kill all the meerkats to test for rabies, because the parents didn’t want the girl to get the rabies shots.
Note that the reporter referred to the animal by his name, Harambe the gorilla. Just as Cecil the lion must be personalized like a human being.
This was a legitimate question. The question of whether Trump is a believer in false rights such as animal rights is legitimate.
I don’t really care that this guy asked Trump a question about the shooting of the gorilla. Not all questions have to be insightful or policy oriented and at least he didn’t ask Trump what kind of underwear he wears. Trump gave a good response. That should have been the end of it. But our preening media want to show how smart they are so they attack this guy for asking the question, the implication being that they would have asked some insightful policy question. I’ve got news for them — most of their “serious” questions are pretty stupid too.
Obama made the call to shoot the gorrilla?
Is this the job of the president?
What have I got myself into?
That would have been my answer to the reporter.
Trump handled it very well.
What about the parents?
In the time it took them to get a rifle, they could have thrown together the gorilla’s next meal and rang the dinner bell just to see if that was enough to distract the gorilla and leave the child then attempt to get the child while the gorilla was distracted.
Most cages of this type have a winter arrangement where the ape is housed and fed and the openings closed so the animal doesn’t freeze.
There are some ways this strategy may not have worked but it could have allowed both the gorilla and the child to live while returning the child to safety.
Yes, it was a stupid question to ask a presidential candidate.
Caging animals for human entertainment should itself be a crime.

Same question aimed at Hillary...
So, Mrs. Clinton about the gorilla that was shot at the zoo. “Do you think that poor animal should have been killed by an evil gun? And why do these zoos have guns anyway?”
