Donald Trump amped up his rhetoric against the media at a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday, saying he "wouldn't mind" if someone shot "through the fake news."
He is signaling, quite directly and openly, to his supporters that he would be okay with journalists that he doesn't like being murdered. He was remarking about how he was covered by bulletproof glass from all angles, except from the press section.
Yeah the longer unabridged comment he made is a lot worse. He was even gesticulating when talking in detail where the glass was and wasn't. If it was anyone else it'd be a threat so credible that they'd get tackled by 4 dudes and dragged to jail
Would those who down-vote like to explain their interpretation of:
I have this piece of glass here, but all we have really over here is the fake news, right? And, to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much, ’cause I don’t mind. I don’t mind that
Here is his campaign communications director's official statement on this, if you need some inspiration
Hear the Jonhstown tapes. While we do believe some of these people were forced to drink poison, there definetly were people who were okay with a 'revolutionary suicide' rhetoric. And these true believers have no problem wishing death on others as well.
Unfortunately according to the polls, about half of registered voters are going to vote for him. It's mind boggling. Out of all the people on the planet to choose from, they choose this guy? This fucking guy?!
