The mainstream media has tried to force Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on the defensive again, and headlines around the world are in an uproar over his comments about the Second Amendment.
Trump’s response? “Give me a break.”
That’s what he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity in an interview Tuesday. Trump blamed faulty interpretations and media bias, and insisted he never advocated violence against democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, even as undeterred Democrats pile on.
The latest controversy to strike Trump’s campaign arose out of an offhand quip at a boisterous campaign rally. Warning that Clinton wants to revoke the right to gun ownership guaranteed in the Constitution’s Second Amendment, Trump said there would be “nothing you can do,” if she’s elected, “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is – I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what: that will be a horrible day.”
Was Trump suggesting gun owners should kill Clinton if she wins the White House, as the media is suggesting? Or was he merely musing about the indisputably powerful influence of the gun lobby?
“Give me a break,” Trump said hours later, insisting was referring to the power that voters hold. He told Hannity that “there can be no other interpretation.”
You can see the clip for yourself here:
For the Clinton campaign, however, it’s no surprise the controversy worked perfectly to their advantage. The media’s uproar immediately overwhelmed Trump’s intended campaign-trail focus: the economic plan he unveiled just a day earlier and was promoting during rallies in the most competitive election states.
There’s one video, however, that the corporate talking heads won’t dare show you — the clean pass they gave Clinton in 2008, when she mentioned the possible assassination of then-Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama.
Is the mainstream media’s attack on Donald Trump unfair? Do you think he actually called for the assassination of Hillary Clinton?

The Associated Press contributed to this article.
I am going to side with Trump this time BUT the problem is he has to be careful about what he says and how he says it and he cannot. He’s mired in another scandal now because he says irresponsible things and it is not in the best interests of the country to speak this way. There are only so many free passes before you have to disqualify him and declare him too irresponsible; which is what 50 national security experts did.
He is mired in a mess because the media choose to misinterpret what he said. There was nothing said about killing Clinton with a gun. If this is such a big deal why did the press not clarify and ask for more details instead of changing the quote around to suit themselves. Maybe the question should be why the press is unable to report anything about Trump without changing what he says and embellishing on it. He said nothing wrong.The press sensationalized the story.(AN everyday occurence where Trump is concerned)
No, he’s mired in mess because he says irresponsible things. He’s not on a small stage anymore, but the big stage. I saw many people interviewed about this statement by the press and a few defended him but many others did not. He says many irresponsible things, including casting aspersions about Rafael Cruz and the JFK assassination, an accusation which was ridiculous. The press gave him many opportunities to walk it back and he never did. A president has to be careful about his language, and Trump has not shown that ability.
Trump just really needs to be more careful I did not believe either he wants gun owners to kill Clinton he was making a point gun owners will vote for him, the idiot media is just waiting for these types of comments when is Trump gonna realize he will lose even with all the Clinton lies and corruption
Trump will lose because of himself, no one else. Fox News slams Clinton constantly, Limbaugh and Hannity do the same.
That’s because she is a criminal. Murder. Serial liar. She is the evil one .
Because there is so much about her that is aggriegeus and damning.
If you follow the news closely, you will find out that Trump’s words never kill anyone; whereas, Hillary’s deeds and actions did cost many innocent lives. That is a HUGE difference.
He did not say he wants them to kill her thats what the media wants you think
I have seen on numerous occasions when Trump has a press conference how the media has tried to get Trump to say things that they can use against him, they literally put words in his mouth, things he never said. I am so sick of the press playing games on Trump I hope they all get fired one day! So tell me…why is Clinton not doing press conference’s and when she is interviewed she gets light stupid idiotic questions. Why is she afraid to get up and ask hard questions. Can’t wait till Trump gets ahold of her.
Blame the media. It’s all their fault(s). They sensationalized it! Then why did the Secret Service go and talk to the Trump camp to clarify matters? You are doing exactly what Trump has been saying for the past year,”It’s everybody else’s fault! Believe me!” I’m a Republican and neither he nor Hillary are getting my vote. They are both crooks! Trump hasn’t been sued 3500 times because he is a nice guy. Let’s all pick someone else. BTW, NO president can change any part of the Constitution. NO authority! It is up to Congress but STUPID Trump just keeps bringing it up like it is fact hoping to scare the uninformed.
STEVE The Secret Service DID NOT Talk with Trump !! You just read a headline and nothing else. They heard about it and reviewed it and said there NOTHING THERE !
AGREE !!, Trump is not stupid, but media paints him that way, but “idolizes the REAL CRIMINAL,,, and did Not Report what Killary re: obame during her previous try at the WH….
The media and the liberals will take any statements and twist them to suit them and the devil Hillary. You know they are out to make Donald Trump look bad no matter what he says.
Trump could innocently scratch his nose, and those damn idiots will accuse him of making a dangerous threat!
Rather than misinterpret his remarks to say Second Amendment supporters should assassinate Hillary, it is even more conceivable that the meant the Second Amendment folks can handle the situation by NOT voting for her. Like Hillary, the media will continue to spin whatever they hear against Donald Trump to suit their agenda. The witch doesn’t need to be assassinated. From the looks of her and her husband, their bigger problem is natural causes.
But that is the point: he should be very accurate with his words.
I agree, the Clintons don’t look well and natural causes as a solution is fine with me.
I’m sick of his “honesty” only to have his camp come out a day or two later to let us know what he really meant! Just BS.
“he should be very accurate with his words”? First of all, he is not a sleazy corrupt politician who will sugar coating his words just to get votes – like Clintons. Secondly, it is not about how “accurate” he should get. The media will distort or “misinterpret” his words NO MATTER WHAT he said. See how they accused him of throwing the crying baby out of his rally? The mother’s baby spoke up and cleared up that distortion. Did the media or Hillary come out to apologize to Trump for their incorrect accusation? Of course not! It was meant to brand him another image of “baby-hater” so that the uneducated public can come to disgust him more.
Can you see how this “branding” game has been playing out against him? Be aware. ANYTHING coming out of media to attack Trump is ALL LIES, 100% BIG FAT LIES.
Time to change the fictitious narratives to something real.
“TRUTH MATTERS” is the new battle cry!
I totally Agree with you. Clinton’s group has paid off the news media. Just like Obama!!?!?! It’s proven fact of life, they are wanting to take all our rights away. First they take over the media, then change the school system to their way of thinking and then take away our guns? So you tell me what stage they are in?
It’s so ridiculous. MSM likes to twist words around as they always do! How come MSM doesn’t say anything about all the killings by the Clintons in the documentary Clinton Cash? How about the disgusting pedophile Slick Willie? As Sec. of State Hillary sold 29% of our Uranium to Russia? Didn’t see that in MSM!! Could go on and on but will finish with how Hillary + O gave orders to stand DOWN and NOT AIDE the Ambassador and Americans in harms way, so 4 Americans lost their lives and the Sec. of State + the “president” LIED about the TRUE CAUSE!!! But MSM NEVER brings any of that up! Another 4 yrs. of O + Hildebeast and kiss America the Beautiful GOODBYE!!
Jasmine,
You are absolutely right: I can NEVER forget her actions when the 4 Americans lost their lives. That was a disgrace, as all the other things she did. When you have George Soros on your side, one can’t lose….unfortunately, “MONEY TALKS” , and she is an expert in using everyone elses money. This election is costing her nothing.
I am afraid it is so…..If Hillary wins we can kiss America the Beautiful good-by. I have lived for 81 years, and have never witnessed Our wonderful country being in a state as it is now. I’m closer to the end, but I feel badly for my daughter and 18 year old granddaughter.
BJ
TRUMP has not learned to be a POLITICIAN….I hope he doesn’t learn from the CLINTONS….They are professionals! I do hope he will listen to his staff….and learn to THINK BEFORE HE SPEAKS! I’m with him but many will leave him, I’m afraid. God’s Will Be Done.
I understood it to mean the NRA is powerful enough to get voters to understand why our 2nd. amendment is so important. WHOEVER started this in the Media should be held accountable. For Gods Sake, considering the CLINTON BODY COUNT, vs. Trump saying how powerful the NRA is is like Apples & Oranges. The Media is OUT OF ORDER & THIS MUST STOP. GO TRUMP, ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE
I agree anyone who will vote for Clinton ,will put another nail in the coffin of the United States.
Executive, DOJ, FBI, Congress, Senators, and media are all corrupt together. That is why Hillary is still on the loose regardless of all the compelling evidence against her. Voting for Trump to change the leadership is the only way out of this dark time. A grassroots, “We the People” mentality, is the only chance we have left to correct this corruption. Trump/Pence 2016!!!
I agree with all of you 100% — and look at what body has just been added the Cllinton’s list. The
man who was bringing papers to the DNC to investigate the so-called hacking of their computers, etc. I hope that all those who insist on dropping Trump and not voting, realize that they are not patriots and are handing this country over to more of the Clinton lying, killing, doing away with Senior people and ignoring our troops and eventually those veterans who come home all injured and needing our help & prayers, wake up before it is too late.
It seems to be a huuuuuuuuuuge double standard between what was taken out of context of what
Donald Trump didn’t say, and what Hillary really said (the word Assinate Obama) in her 2008 campaign
clip. What hypocracy!!! I am actually amazed that Obama survived in 2008 and won the election.
Judging from the Clintons trail of bodies, Obama is indeed fortunate. PITY, but then again they are
both cut from the same cloth.
Obama can;t be killed, he is the precursor to the anichrist…Hillary
…Trump knew exactly what he was saying. He was mobilizing the force of the NRA. (Get out the vote)! That’s what his remarks were designed to do. He knew that the press would misinterpret and blow out of proportion his words, and he fell for it, “Hook, Line and Sinker.” Senator Warren even said that Trump was calling for Hillary’s assignation. (How asinine)! Trump is not talking to the establishment, and they know it. More to the point, they’re pissed. It doesn’t matter who’s in the WH, as long as they’re ‘still’ in the House or Senate. They are scared to death of Trump. His election means, the party’s over. And that’s the truth!
Yes, and the truth hurts.
I saw nor heard any comment about killing Hillary Clinton in any way or fashion!!
Someone keeps putting words into Trumps omits that did not come from him!!!
Correct. No such comment came out of Trumps mouth!
He was talking about the gun lobby —- not about hurting Hillary, but the liberal press took his remark out of context, as they will do all through the campaign. The system is rigged…………………if Trump wins it will be MIRACLE. They will Fix it one way or the other, but they will not let him win. I hope I’m wrong, but fear I’m right.
me too Nancy, I would love to be proved wrong
He always speaks the truth, but with a sense of humor that the media cannot digest because they only want headlines. It is disgusting on how everything is spun out of direction. Stick to the words and report them instead of interpreting everything, we don’t need the media to tell us what he says, we car hear.
Sloughfoot is absolutely correct! Trump did not say anything about shooting Hillary.
The Demons and the MSM continue to make stuff up — this is the scandal.
Gaffer
Exactly!!
Yep!!
What Donald needs to do is boycott debates, screw this crooked news media, because every thing he says at debate the crooked new media , will write all their lies about his statement. America people are not stupid, If you will remember O Bama said American people are stupid and you can put anything over on them , and they believe the news media. He also said the public won’t do anything about it, they just sit and take it.
No Trump should not boycott the debates. This is s job interview; he is the applicant and he does not dictate the terms. He is supposed to be able to negotiate, outsmart and run circles around everyone, has superior policy positions, so let’s see that all on display. Nothing less than he demanded on his tv show.
As a matter of fact, Trump also called the people of Iowa stupid and the American people stupid, just so you know.
How do we know… because you said so??? Gimme a break.
It’s on youtube if you don’t remember him saying it.
Jack-
i agree with you, Trump should NOT boycott debates.
IMO, however, he should insist on certain conditions, e.g. that both candidates get to invite at least 100 guests to be in the audience.
He should insist that neither candidate NOR anyone connected to their campaigns in any way be given a list of the questions which are to be asked in advance of the debates.
He should insist that NO electronic “earwigs” or other communication devices be used by EITHER candidate, and that some of his people be allowed to bring monitoring and/or jamming devices to expose any such shenanigans as this. It is supposed to be a “job interview” indeed, and cheating by having answers supplied by others is verboten. No repeats of the idiot Shrub.
He’s already objected to the debates competing with NFL games; he should be willing to give up this objection ON CONDITION of other conditions being complied with(because, after all, most people can either record the debates or watch them on youtube, later).
And as he’s MUCH more intelligent than i, other conditions to be negotiated, as they occur to him.
When did Obama ever say that the American People are stupid? Of course some of them are obviously stupid, but I doubt highly he ever said that.
Bruce-
“Consider just how stupid the average American is – then remember that half of them are more stupid than THAT!”
~George Carlin, probably paraphrased.
I agree with Robert. Boycott debates!
The debates allow them to go into details about their platform. I’m not interesting in passing something before I get to read it, or voting for someone before I get to question them.
The debates is where Hillary can be exposed unfit if she goes into her lost stare as she did the other day were Fat Albert coach her into what to say
And where Trump can be exposed when he is questioned about something he knows nothing about.
Unlike the cackling witch,,,,and you,,, Trump has never been afraid to say “I don’t know, but I’ll find out”
The term “Dunderhead” always comes to mind when I see useful fools like you.
I agree with you Jack. Trump didn’t mean a gun owner would “take care of Hillary”. If that were true, it would have been done or attempted already. Never Trumpers will do anything they can to make Trump look bad.
NeverTrumpers do not need to do anything to make him look bad, he accomplishes that by himself.
THAT’S the truth!! “No help wanted, I can handle this job all by myself!!”
only7 with a media that skews his remarks. How much do you make? I need a part time job. I can lie also, just like you. But I will not sell out like you. I’m not for sale, as you seem to be.
Now, with the beauty of cell phones, youtube, you can google all his dumb remarks…they are saved forever so I don’t need to lie, it’s all there for EVERYONE to hear for the rest of time. I’m really sick and tired of vapid remarks that are personal attacks about me, when I have not done the same. Trump is running for president and as such is fair game.
What we should do, IS get Trump AND Clinton to go away and stared over. Nether one is fit to run.
Agree.
Trump is fit to run – 100% fit!
Excuse me
I have been living with Dems days in days out and suffering . All of them are bad . They accumulated days in days out
Trump is the right person for the right situation, to deal with the ugly. You have to be uglier . That s the only way to put them under control . Has he been nice guy then he could not had the primary . These are national thieves from all directions
Let say if you put Trump in discussions with the QUEENs, the is no opputunties to push him to utter the less than like level of language .
Trump is a patriot. Honest to the nation,the people , gave out his own after tax money for nation,the people .
Did you see any politician do this ? Or just get the vote they need and collect Money to their pockets ???
Come on , the truth is so visionable in the the bright sun .
Time to invoke the last slogan
“TRUTH MATTERS”
Let truth be the standard of qualification
That comment had nothing to do with violence. Its the disgusting LIBERAL Clinton news networks at work again.
Liberals are disgusting.
How can a criminal like Hillary be running for office. Where is the FBI on all her scandals!!!
Oh yeah the FBI is playing politics too….sad days in the USA
What about the muslim father of the mass murderer with Hillary….got no attention at all
No one said a word defending Ted Cruz comment about New York Values. Even Trump piled on; now that he is getting the same treatment everyone is calling it bias. All the stories on this site and other pro-Trump sites are biased too.
Jack-
i’ve just watched a couple of clips of what Trump actually said.
Paraphrased slightly(memory ain’t what it used to be), it goes something like this:
“If Hillary gets elected, she’ll appoint judges to the Supreme Court, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Nothing…well, maybe the 2nd Amendment folks…”
That remark harks back to the Declaration of Independence, and is NOT either endorsement or encouragement of anyone killing anyone.
By way of reminder:
“…to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
That’s the real PURPOSE of the 2nd, to ensure that NO USG agent (or group thereof) can prevent Americans from forcefully opposing tyranny of every kind. Any honest reading of the former Colonist leaders cannot lead to any other conclusion.
If The Liar – who has sworn on several occasions now to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC” – moves in any way, shape, or form toward violating that Oath by pushing for an abolishment of the Second Amendment, she’ll have provided primae facie evidence of Oath-breaking, which is Perjury, a High Crime and Impeachable Offense.
Of course, she’s demonstrably guilty of Perjury NOW…
But compare Hillary’s statement during her primary run against D’Owebama in 2008: “i am not out of the race, yet. Bobby Kennedy didn’t make it past June, and it’s not even June, yet.” That’s a FAR more direct threat than Trump’s allusion to the DoI. Then, too, there’s Biden speaking to a conservative audience about his collection of shotguns, his over-and-under, his pair of Barettas and his promise that he’ll use them if D’OweBama threatens to take HIS guns – also, a far more direct threat.
Wanna bet that CCMSM doesn’t mention THOSE? i’ve seen the clips, and although what i’ve posted here may not be strictly and exactly accurate, they’re close enough to convey the gist.
Yes, my original post said that I didn’t find his comment a call to arms; however, I do believe that some might. If you see a clip the man in red over Trump’s left shoulder was shocked and he was later on tv stating that he took it that way. I do find Trump irresponsible with his language and he has incited violence before.
Your are correct about the Second Amendment and I’m not a supporter of Hillary.
Thanks, Jack.
i appreciate your honesty, and knew from your many postings that you are no supporter of The Liar.
I also agree that since Trump is running for the highest office in US politics, he is indeed “fair game” – well, as long as you don’t mean “game” in the hunting sense, that is…
In addition, i commend your restraint in not answering tit-for-tat to those who have attempted to pigeonhole you as something or someone you are not, but have been mostly patient in explaining their error(s).
“Two Englishmen and a Pollack were out hunting one day, when across the field came a young woman cavorting naked. ‘Are you game?’ one of the Englishment shouted. She said ‘Sure!’, and the Pollack shot her.”
Time to invoke the last slogan
“TRUTH MATTERS”
Let truth be the standard of qualification
Isn’t it sad when speaking truthfully is deemed inappropriate? I find him refreshing, go Trump.
There is a difference between speaking truthfully and speaking prudently. It’s not refreshing to find that once again he has stuck his foot in his mouth.
So your happy with Hillary saying she’s go to raise taxes on the middle class
What does that have to do with my comment? I’m not happy when Trump constantly changes his tax rate so that I don’t know what is true, Are you happy with tariffs like Trump wants to impose? Are you happy that Trump had his articles made outside of the country but now wants to punish other companies for doing it? Are you happy Trump brought in foreign workers?
Jack-
Trump, as a smart businessman, took advantage of the laws as they were written at the time.
He now proposes to CHANGE those laws, and one would presume that he’d be among the first to comply, either by paying the tariffs or by putting his money where his mouth now is – in American companies that would gladly produce the items Trump businesses want to offer for sale.
Jack, your comments continue in the same vane…… I’m wondering why it is that you do not question the statements, the lies of Hillary Clinton. You sound like a very intelligent man, but your reasoning is warped by your own bias. I’ve read so much of how Hillary treats people who work with her, her security guards, a young military man who was brought into Hillary’s circle to protect her from a bomb with his k-nine dog. She saw the dog and said, “Who let this f- ing dog in my quarters?” Where’s the press on these things? Her lies stating that she landed amid gun fire. I’ve watched the video of that event and what she said NEVER HAPPENED? Why is that the media does not go after her when she is responsible for the death for the men in Bengazi? I cannot understand why one is jabbed and made fun of while another more quilty is ignored. There is only one viable reason: the establishment GOP and the Democrats, the liberal media, knows that Donald Trump will clean house in Washington, D.C. and I hope he does. I am a minister’s wife of over 55 years and I have never seen such injustice being promoted as “right” in my entire 75 years! O, God help us. If Hillary is elected everything I have loved about this country will change forever. My last question to you is this….. Do you really listen to Donald Trump and hear what he is actually saying or are you listening to the twisted version of everything he says? Open your eyes and look, LISTEN with something more than your ears. Listen to the man’s heart. And is you are a educated man, as I think you are, you will never want to take someone else’s word ….. KNOW THE TRUTH YOURSELF.
I don’t question the statements of Hillary because I know what she is and I’m not interested in her. I don’t support her, would never vote for her, don’t believe her and cringe at the idea of her becoming president. But president she will be because Trump is just that much worse and because of that people will reluctantly vote for her. I am extremely angry that because of the blindness of pro-trumpers we are now in this position; the press has a field day with him because they can. He’s not articulate, he’s not smart, and had he had an ounce of skill he would be leading the press instead of the press leading him. And just for your info, I’m not a Rino supporter either. I would like to see this corrupt government on both sides destroyed, Trump is not the one to do it and the very worst will happen: Hillary Clinton.
Trump is speaking truthfully to the nation the USA people including Dems. Establishment …..GOP ……
Only when he has to deal with outsiders,not USA ,then he will be prudent . And we do not have to worry about prudence at that time since he will, be working with his cabinet. Advisers, and all others they will consider word by word for all speakers
Now, Trump opponents is trying to misinterpret negatively on whatever he say since they do not want to say anything about their Obama policies . They are trying to buy out times from now till Nov by distracting people to issues of no significance to the nation and to the people .Beware of their tricks . They get pay from our tax money to do all these
Cowards . Do not need coward leaders ant any levels . GO AWAY .
Jack said Trump stuck his foot in his mouth — but he didn’t. It’s the lying democrats and media lefties that are just making this all up. I listened to the video of the Trump statements that are at the centre of this so called story. I love it when a story appears to have no relation to the headline. The spin is palpable. I also listened to Rudy Giuliani her @
“http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/giuliani-blames-media-spin-trump-second-amendment-comment”
Now there is a sensible man. Thank you Rudy.
Go Trump!
Gaffer
You are full of shit!! Donald Trump is your next president of these United States! No matter what you hilly trolls say or do will change that!! Get lost and go back to your hole!!!!
Not my next president, nor yours because right now he is losing. I am glad to see that you can engage in thoughtful and substantive debate.
So says the media. Believe everything we hear on TV do we?
You are mean. U are happy when seeing other people are mistreated,. That s only temporary . The main issue is the policies. Not trump or Hillary or any other names.
Dems have money from interested DOnnors ,and in power to use tax money to run negative ads on opponent
What s a wise way to spend public money . Is that called WISE ??.
Read the new Judicial Watch Clinton emails just discovered that was not turned over before. For citizens to defend themselves because of a Tyrant government is the main reason the 2nd amendment exists
What’s worse……what Trump said…….or Hillary giving away national secrets to who knows who? Seems to me Trump’s misconstrued comment is NOTHING compared to what our one time Secretary of State DID! How about an honest media?
This is not a cogent argument….he says dumb things, she says dumber things. NEITHER ONE is qualified.
Don’t forget that saying dumb things is not as bad as doing dumb things.
Gaffer
Neither is acceptable.
Whatever he says, mainstream media will twist.
SEEMS TO ME THE MEDIA IS THE ONLY ONE SUGGESTING ANYONE SHOULD KILL ANYONE!! DONALD SAID NOTHING ABOUT KILLING ANYONE; BUT THE MEDIA IS SUGGESTING SOMEONE SHOULD KILL HILLARY!!!
If he stops telling it like it is and gets on the PC band wagon I have no use for him.
Stay the (Honest) course, Don. We have had it with the mealie mouth, 2-faced RINO/Democrat elite establishment’s rhetoric.
BTW, Just for the record, I am on the road all the time on the East side of Cleveland. MANY Trump bumper stickers and yard signs. I did see a few Sanders signs but the only Clinton signs around here say “Hillery for prison” I have asked others and get the same response. – I’m quite sure if there was a pole taken here it would NOT favor the Cackling Witch.
Looks like my “observation pole” is in line with this:
Trump for the White House, Clinton for the BIG house
And Trump never said he would support an armed intersection, but again, just for the record I have read many comments on the ‘net and have heard other live conversation saying if Clinton is elected there will be a Civil war, although shooting her was not much mentioned. “Get a Rope” seemed to be the most popular recommendation.
pole: long rod, sometimes used for fishing.
poll: survey, sometimes used for fishing.
Nothing Trump has said has altered my voting for him. I don’t take serious anything negative the media says regarding him. They are too obvious with being unfavorable to him . I don’t even usual listen to what they have to say. I already know he’s a better choice than Hillary and nothing has changed that. Too bad many in his party seem to not realize that. Mouthy? Yes. Wrong? No. Sincere Yes. Perfect? No.
Maybe he was saying that if she tries to void the The Second Amendment the people might rebel . With good reason.
Get over it, at 84 I have herd just about everything and the Main Line News Stinks of Communism, They print what they want regardless of weather its true or not. they are just like Prada the old Soviet news service. Try to get something printed about the truth and see what happens. I cannot get articles printed about how bad the main line news is.
They are like a dog with a bone, they twist every story to fit their philosophy! Find out who owns the main line news and you will see why one cannot believe them!
What Trump said was not irresponsible!!! If Killary had said the exact same thing, no one would even be talking about it! People with a brain (Republican’s) would have never thought what he said was a threat to poor Killsry!!
Jack-
50 national security experts?
Can you name them? What are their histories? Who has employed them? CIA? Are any of them members of any secret societies, e.g. Skull and bones, etc.?
Never trust any globalists to any degree. Trust nationalists and America First proponents unless they prove to be liars.
Rather than me list them, here is the letter and all the signatories:
ww.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/08/08/us/politics/national-security-letter-trump.html
Now you may crtique each and every person, but there they are and that’s how they feel. I think that you are failing to understand that many people opposing Trump are putting country first and country over party.
Jack-
I think that you are failing to understand that many people opposing Trump are putting country first and country over party.
And there would be the crux of our disagreement. i think you are failing to understand that MOST people opposing Trump, especially from his own party, are putting GLOBALIST agendas first, and the Party second, with Country finishing far down the list(if at all), as they intend to eliminate all countries, eventually.
“Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo!”
~Donald J. Trump.
If Trump is sincere, i certainly agree!
Jack-
BTW, i went to the linked NYT article; it confesses that “most” of the signatories were members of HW’s cabinet or were appointed to positions in his maladministration. Since H.W. is CLEARLY a globalist/neocon/OWG/NWO supporter(see his infamous UN speech), it follows that he would only appoint or choose cabinet members fully on-board with that agenda.
Ergo, the lot of them can be dismissed with prejudice. Globalists care NOTHING for America, but for a borderless world with One government that is NOT bound by the terms of the US Constitution.
Media can make a trivial comment become an “irresponsible thing.” Many people do not perceive Trump said anything wrong in this regard, whereas others would simply base on how media interpret it and regurgitate it out the public’s brain. Trump’s words do not kill anyone. Hillary’s deeds and actions indeed cost other people’s lives. Go figure who is “irresponsible”.
Any thinking person can see that the only meaning to Trump’s comment is retaliation at the ballot box and does not say or imply any act of violence. But you are right in advising that he must analyze every single thing he says or the left wing democrat media will re-edit his comments by adding or deleting, or simply completely re-stating his words to mean something entirely different, as they have done through out this campaign.
Yes Trump has made some gafts, those are temporary, losing our country is permanent. He is not a politician, he is an outsider of the established elite and they don’t like it, all who are against him (even Republicans) are all in it, they want to continue the stealing of America. Trump is liken to three generals (Patton, MacArthur & Montgomery), common was their mouth, some times got them in trouble, however, they were created to win wars and they did, we are in a political, financial & terrorist wars, we have seen what Obama/Clinton have done, they are the most corrupt people in government, I believe Trump can make America great again.
Jack-
he has to be careful about what he says and how he says it and he cannot.
Not a First Amendment fan?
TRUMP referring to VOTERS power NOT Violence Physical !!!
Any half-brained should be able to figure that simple meaning out.
Just KEEP supporting our 2nd amendment rights, we’ll all be voting!!
The press is also attacking people who believe in the 2nd amendment like we are a bunch of idiots who use violence to solve everything. We are being played into their agenda. The people who listen to this and can’t see the manipulation are the idiots.
Patsy Overstreet-
The Constitution was written mostly as a RESTRAINT upon general government officeholders. We the People do not have a “Second Amendment Right.” What we have are God-given Rights, among those the Right to defend ourselves against tyranny and tyrants of all stripes, whether street punks or bullies-with-badges.
What the Second does, ostensibly, it to PREVENT and FORBID gov’t actors from screwing around with our God-given Right to bear arms. Period.
SCOTUS once had no problem recognizing this principle:
“[The Right to Keep and Bear Arms] is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed;… This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government,…”.
~ U.S. v. Cruikshank Et Al. 92 U.S. 542 (1875)
At least one State, Texas, recognized this as a Maxim of law:
“The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers delegated directly to the citizen, and is excepted out of the general powers of government. A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power.”
— Cockrum v. State
Source: 24 Tex.394, at 401-402 (1859)
Unfortunately, it appears that at this late date of the American Constitutional Republic, most SCOTUS judges do not recognize the legal principle that it’s powers are FEW and DEFINED, but UNLIMITED and UNSTOPPABLE. To think that they would consider ANY topic as outside their jurisdictional power seems now to them to be ridiculous, untenable, and even insane.
They will continue to think this way until some of them are tried for Perjury, for violation of their Oath of Office, then driven from the bench in disgrace. Bullies never give up their bullying until confronted and prevented from doing so…if not by a single individual, then by sheer numbers of people who stand up to them, with force if necessary.
In sum, then, what we have are Constitutionally-SECURED rights, but these rights are only as good as the honor and integrity of those who swear their oaths and mean to keep them. When they refuse to abide by the restraints the Constitution places upon them, AND NO ONE SAYS TO THEM, “YOU MAY NOT,” then they presume that everyone is fine with their stretching, misconstruing, twisting, and “interpreting” things into or out of the Constitution at will. Nowadays, few of their decisions are based upon the Constitution, but upon “precedent,” even if the precedent they cite was Unconstitutional ab initio(from Jump Street).
Well written piece. The only thing I would add is that the framers left one thing out – a provision for enforcing or who other than congress has the power t0 enforce the constitution (by force if necessary), nullifying whatever judgements the Supreme Court hands down, which is why Obumma gets away with thumbing his nose at the Supreme Court and whatever judgements it hands down and goes right on doing whatever he pleases with no consequences. The congress has even abdicated its power of the purse.
Peter Danzo-
Thanks, first.
The congress has even abdicated its power of the purse.
Indeed they have, and in more ways than one. For starters, Congress is only authorized to COIN money and declare it’s value. They abdicated that responsibility when they handed over this power to the Federal Reserve Banks in 1913, via some Nelson Aldrich trickery during the Christmas break of that year. They shirked their duty, and handed it over to a private bank owned mostly by foreign bankers. That was the key to surrendering US sovereignty. The TRUE “power of the purse” now belongs to a privately-owned, never audited, Federal Reserve Bank, which uplifts or destroys various businesses – and people – at will.
But yes, Congress can and should have de-funded any number of things D’OweBama wanted, including D’OweBamacare. This is one major reason why the approval rating of Congress is the lowest it’s ever been. So many – a majority, in fact – are but sycophants, toadies and lick-spittles for the NWO/OWG. They know where their bread is buttered, and it’s NOT by acting in the best interests of the American People as a whole, but by pandering and catering to the whims of the extremely wealthy.
Perhaps, with a Trump administration, we will see the People wholly and massively REJECT the globalists, the Neocons, the NWO/OWG slugs, and elect those who KNOW that their FIRST PRIORITY is America and Americans.
It is amazing to me how when the father of the Orlando terrorist is sitting behind Clinton at a rally, a prized sitting location, and the media just says ho hum, and the democrat talking heads are out there immediately defending her with one excuse after the other. In case some of you didn’t actually see what he said live, and are relying on the snippets provided by the main or lame stream media, he prefaced his remarks about the appointments Clinton would make to the supreme court and what it would do to the second amendment rights. It would seem that Trump should go to these rallies, just stand on the stage and say nothing, because it matters not what he says, it will be spun, and even supposed republicans like Rove will have to put their two cents worth in. Rove even made the stupid remark that Trump should have tied it to the supreme court appointments – which he did. Where were you Rove? I think the problem is some of these people like Rove, Romney, the Bushes, etc – in other words the establishment are afraid what a Trump presidency would be able to reveal to the people – or they know they will become irrelevant.
They are too busy covering hillary’s lies, flubs, and health issues so they have to make up stupid stuff about Trump!
Time to invoke the last slogan
“TRUTH MATTERS”
Let truth be the standard of qualification
All LIARS will be terrified:Gauranteed!
Trump is the only one of the two candidates who can lead us out of the mess BHO and HRC have created. Is he the perfect candidate? No one is. But he is by far the best of the two who are running for office. Both sides of the aisle are nervous because you have a man who is not dependent on getting elected or reelected. The established on the left and right live in fear that their sacred positions will be in jeopardy should Trump will the election. Thus, no matter what he says there will be outcries of some sort. We desperately need change and the way to get it is for everyone who is upset over the last eight years to Vote.
I agree 100%. DONALD J TRUMP, is the only one who is running that is competent to run this great country. I know that the media is being controlled by the current administration, and the media takes everything out of context, just to make HTC look squeaky clean. HRC is the most hated, untrusted, scandalous, and unfavorable person ever running for office. HER OFFICE SHOULD BE A JAIL CELL!!! She NEVER have been allowed to run for potus!
Yep! Just look at the media how they said he was throwing the crying baby out in his rally. It turned out to be a big fat lie, proven by the mother’s baby speaking up to clear the air. Did the media or Hillary come to apologize to Trump? Everything coming out from media about Trump is all 100% LIES! They twisted what he said and created an distorted “image” of him. Then, “no brainers” say “the biggest problem to Trump is Trump himself.” Load of craps!
The media truly are a despicable lot. They will hound Trump until the second coming. They will twist his words into whatever suits their cause. No matter how clear and precise his wording is on any subject, the media will distort and demean his message. What is far more “dangerous” is having a media in the tank for a proven criminal. A liar and a money grubbing, corrupt phony, who puts her personal gain ahead of the American people. Trump is not running against Clinton so much as he is running against the corrupt media supporting her.
Excellent comment! Very well expressed and how true. I couldnt have said it any better.
You are so right.
Now if they wanted to help our country, you would have thought the media would have had front page on Orlando’s killer’s father on front page. Now that is someone who wants to kill AMERICA and has.
Trump was strictly talking about the power of the NRA,.if all members get behind Trump then Hillary can be defeated.The press is trying again to slam trump as it always does.
Against his background of constantly promoting/advocating/suggesting violence and the apparent mindset of his “followers” it is only reasonable to conclude that once again he was playing true to form.
Damn sorry RG but this country was founded on violence even before the revolutionary war and we have been a violent people ever since. (Our “Football” is a full contact sport) It is a simple fact.
You might want things to be different and I’m not sure I wouldn’t rather see it that way, but like a lawyer pal of mine says. “The is no lawsuit that couldn’t be settled with a good ass beating. Like it or not it is what it is and there is no way anyone will make a speech and suddenly we will all turn into pacifists.
Trump says it like it is and stands behind his words while the Cackling Witch tells lie after lie and according to many accounts has her enemies killed.
Trump for the White House
Clinton for the BIG house
He loves America and wants to be like we were, loving one another, work hard to attain our goals not having to go on welfare because there are no jobs. Above all else is the safety of our country.
I cannot believe how nasty the election of a new president has become. It used to be a Free Press and now do as I say Press.
refers to voting power…. not violence!!!!!
The media & & clinton spin machine have put a meaning to Trump of their own making. No words were spoken advocating what the message clinton is speaking to. More proof that her campaign will twist everything to drag a red herring across the trail to cover all the criminal activity that is public knowledge. I hope all voters can see & understand the pattern & intent.
Trump was taken out of context yet again. He was referring to voters if you elect Hillary we all no she hates 2nd amendment. She would do everything in her power to take your guns away. I don’t congress would stop her they haven’t stopped Obama. Trump would put an end to money even Mike Lee is getting now.
If I thought she really could repeal the 2nd amendment that would be all the more reason I would vote for her!!
GOD GUNS AND GUTS MADE US FREE ….AT ALL COST.. KEEP ALL THREE. VOTE OUR DONALD TRUMP .
God bless you Bernice.
I’ll stand with you any time.
Bruce, you are totally stupid!!! We have already lost so many freedoms!
I hope you still think that way when they kick in your door and take you away.
You are truly one of the useful fools that the Marxists always use and them “liquidate”
Bruce-
If I thought she really could repeal the 2nd amendment that would be all the more reason I would vote for her!!
Really? Then you should at least try to learn some of the lessons of history, briefly outlined below. I suggest you memorize at last 3 of them:
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated…
——————–
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————–
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
——————–
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————–
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————–
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————–
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
As an exercise in humility, i think you should sum up all these losses of life and present us with the total numbers of people killed by their own governments in the 20th Century alone.
As most people now see the clinton media machine is doing anything they can to make her Queen. This includes lies, spinning anything they can and overlooking anything she says. As for the 50 pieces of trash the jumped into the fray they are part of the problem in DC. They are still sucking money and still love the feeling of power they have and know if Trump gets in it’s over for them. Their against him because they’re for themselves. People need to start reading between the lines and see how the media is being used to lie and betray us.
The mainstream media hates Trump and they will make up any lie to hurt him. Their idol, Hillary, is all they care about…to the point of showing how ignorant they are….we pay no attention to them and Donald Trump should do the same. Don’t take their smelly bait…keep talking about what you’ll do to repair the damage they have done to this country. Ignore their sorry rear ends!! They stink!!!
During HiLIARy vs obama campaign, hilIARy has openly suggesting an assassination of Robert Kennedy could be repeated in her obama campaign same time frame periods . Kieth Doberman was furious about hiLIAry incited obama assassination but comparing to what Trump said about 2nd amendment Trump has suggested nothing. Media should at least show some fairness and dignity. See the YouTube yourself
I believe what Trump meant was, “We Americans who believe in the Constitution and all of its Amendments need to go VOTE in November”. I heard no threats from the comment. He delivered it, strongly! So, wake up America! Stop the lying, thieving, possibly murderous Bitch from living in and ransacking OUR WHITE HOUSE!
refers to voting power…..
Trump did not say any thing about assassination
Really! Trump again struck down by the corrupt media. What they wouldn’t do for Hillary.??? Come on all the media and reporters who are Trump followers should start to defend Trump not drag him down. As noted in some comments “Trump is referring to voters powers” in his statement about the 2nd amendment. Stand up for Trump to bring back the America I love and not
Hillary who is a second Obama destroying the good old USA. She is only looking for power. It has become so ingrained into her mindset.
The media can twist words and make it work in their favor. Before reporting their opinions of what anyone says, why don’t they ask Trump, in this case, what he meant by his comments first. Get the facts first, not twisted opinions, listen first then write and comment on it.
Trump is suggested to violence….
He calls for the assassination….
He not understood 2-nd amendment!!! !!!!!
GOD please forbid us from Trump from his folly!!!!!.….
He is a strange person….
If the n was taken out of your name it would spell “Zika”. Thanks for bringing foreign diseases to our country.
Zinka you are a real stupid jerk,I have read many ignorant comments on here but you are the champion of fools
Zinka, honey you need to stop listening to whomever you are!! Trump is a BIG supporter of the Second Amendment and believe me, he understands it better than you do!! Trump is going to save
this country in spite of citizens who don’t understand like you!!
The media has to be put down at every chance, they are despicable, their lack of trustworthiness must be attacked constantly, not just bumper stickers
Yes. Definitely!
It is amazing that the very people that have put America in the dumpster think they can brush the voice of the people who want change for the good for America away. They are only worried about their meal ticket and kick backs they have gotten all these years. They are greedy and want to keep their pockets full. Not bring jobs and a bright future to the USA. Wake up people are the UN will take over every thing.
I am so sick of these bias reporters telling actual lies. Hillary is a lousy excuse for a human being let alone a president. Lies, cover-ups, corrupton that is the clinton’s way of doing things I think we may be able to add traitors to the mix. Vote Trump unless you want to be enslaved by the dictoral edits of these dems.
When you have to fill in the blanks with 4-5 more sentences in order to come out with the interpretation the media owners of the Clinton Crime Family desire, then you are writing the comment yourself. Trump should move on and keep saying, “you got it wrong”. Hillary herself was hoping Obama would be assassinated. Boy, was she made in 2008. ABC has been censoring all of my comments. There’s no Free Speech at ABC.
It’s the news working for Clinton! It’s a shame they don’t just report the news – not personally interpret to make it exciting! What’s even worse for TRUMP is that the rest of the Republicans are not supporting him! Just remember all the others that aren’t helping him get elected and don’t vote for them either! It’s not going to matter if TRUMP doesn’t win anyways. Supreme court etc. is going to have a lot longer affect than 1 term for any of them!!!!
For god sake what else will Clinton and the bias media going to go after trump. Trump is right Hillary will take away your guns. I believe the American people see through the Clinton machine and will vote trump. As long as HillAry ca bring up lies against trump she doesn’t have to discuss tell problems.She is a liar.
This is nothing but the media in the tank machine keeping negative focus on Trump. Doing that will keep Hillary out of the spot light and away from having to answer real questions. The speech she will be delivering in the Detroit area is not open to the public, but just to those who want to support her with large donations. Hillary and Bill really should have the same fate as so many Americans they have in their past. Some sort of terrible unexplained accident, with no witnesses. Yeah, that’s how the Clintons get things done ! If Hillary steals the election, we should march on Washington in protest. She will not win this election fairly. She will have to stuff the ballot boxes and make electronic votes only count for her. Recall the 141% turn out in Democratic precincts ? Ballots found in the trunks of vehicles, all in Democratic favor. I not opposed to an alternative venue if the ballot box doesn’t produce a change. Voting Trump will be a good start in changing this country. And not the way the “progressives” think !
Shame on the media once again!
He obviously meant exercising second amendment rights defensively against government confiscation: “that will be a horrible day.” Divisive exclusion of quoted words by the establishment press monopoly again.
I agree with whoever said American people are stupid and gullible. How can anybody vote for that Clinton woman.
If a person especially a potential presidential candidate doesn’t have the intellect to monitor the language he spit regardless of his background, he will put this country in a big mess. The global atmosphere is not something any, I mean a potential rumble through and try to come back to re-explain. That’s is NOT the history of the presidential candidates of this country. Global knowledge and their history and this country’s role must be within the grip of such a candidate. If he is not tuned to such simple responsibilty by education, experience and background he may jeopardy the security of this country. This country has so many enemies that we can’t take chances on anyone or anything. Knowledge, experience and the acumen to align all of this must be clear and convincing instead of blaming the media.
Michael, trust me! Trump certainly has the education and intellect to do, at the least, as good as our present esteemed President!! Remember his experience was as a “community organizer!” Not sure how much experience that gave him. I am confident that Trump will take this country to new heights, such as trade deals, legal immigration(unlike Killary’s plan), employment, energy and common core education, not to mention, healthcare!!! Soo why don’t you ride along with us Trumpsters!!!!
I agree with Trump all people should get together and go after HillyBilly in a way that will eliminate her from being president and that means everybody get out and VOTE for Donald J. Trump. Stop whining, Stop going with a third party, Stop listening to the RepublicRATS Like McCain, Bush, Romney, that idiot ex CIA tool that thinks eliminate a problem means go kill something and all the rest that have been paid by HillyBilly to get her elected. If you don’t then HillyBilly is going to win. Trump Has done the one thing that none of the former Republican candidates have been able to do which is get people fired up even if you don’t like his style he has everyone engaged. It is time to stop complaining about how untactful Trump is at times and support him or get ready for Obama 2.0.
He obviously meant exercising second amendment rights defensively in our homes against government confiscation: “that will be a horrible day.” Divisive exclusion of quoted words by the establishment press monopoly again.
I love this guy, he will self destruct before the end. What a total idiot he is and you folks believe in him? What on earth is anyone thinking to believe in such a self absorbed guy. Good thing his family is behind him to deprogram the public. VOTE TRUMP! Remove HRC from the election.
Did you just threaten violence against Hillary???
Tempest in a teapot. This is all the libs have, their penchant for misstating what someone really meant while giving the Hillary a pass for everything really bad that she contributes to the world.
There is no way Trump was trying to intimidate Clinton with assassination. He was just stating a fact that gun owners and the NRA members are large percentage of the votes. Donald has nothing to worry about as he will be elected!
I sort of doubt that Trump has ever read the Second Amendment all the way through. It is a long sentence with more than one clause. His comments are most likely explained by the fact that he made them in North Carolina on the same day the NRA began an anti-Clinton ad campaign in that state (http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/09/politics/nra-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-election-2016/index.html). He was simply pandering to one of the few groups that still offers him any support. He probably didn’t consider what he said – if he knew – and is lucky to have a toady like Hannity around to explain it for him. At this point, it probably doesn’t matter. He has already lost the election – and probably his sanity.
Time to invoke the last slogan
“TRUTH MATTERS”
Let truth be the standard of qualification
All LIARS will be terrified:Guaranteed!
Level playfield for all: No bias
Poker and Politics are similar. You can’t win if you can’t lie when it’s necessary.
I think we all know what is really ment I firmly believe that if Hillary gets the president position and starts to take our rights it will more than likely be the start of a great revolution of the people against the government is think Mr Trump has this or A similar idea of what to expect
To the Main Stream Media: “There you go again”!!!!
Don’t worry… The Horn News will get the country informed in the right way!
All I will say is Hillary can not win. Trump must win. To save America.
We all know Gods word is being fullfilled.
However time is of the essence. Trump for president 2016.
God save America
The media is trying to cover up Clinton’s actions one more time, what a surprise!
Give me a break. I don’t claim to be a Republican … but it simply fascinates me with the way the lame-stream media will twist whatever a Republican says and then totally ignore worse statements and actions of Democrats. I’m really tired of politicians that say all the right stuff and then never deliver anything … on both sides of the isle. Get rid of all of the professional politicians and lawyers and this country would be MUCH better off.
That’s what they are all worried about. That is there whole motivation in attacking and not supporting Trump is because they’re all afraid all there dirty secrets will get out and the American people will finally find out just how corrupt they all have been.
Despite Hannity’s claim, there can be and likely are myriad interpretations, depending on one’s orientation.
Unfair is NOT the word for it,and NO he did NOT call for HITLERy’s assassination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Hillary has to die. Let she die in regret of all her wrong acts, with all the ghosts that waiting for her , no need for a bullet.
I want Mr.Trump to win the election, and be president. He should of said to all gun owners vote. Not take matters in your own hands. Many people take that as an assassination attempt.
Those are unsecured people. Paranoid , dark conscience ,afraid of being killed .mental disorder ,emotionless sick ………
Trump 2016. He loves America and is frustrated like many of us. He will clean house with all the politians who are riding on the system doing nothing for the people who voted them in office. He is not a politician thank goodness for that.
Even Obama who was a dunce about being and acting Presidential has in 8 years done an about face in how he acts and reacts at least in public. Many of our Presidents took office not knowing the protocol, yet they have learned what needs to be learned and became very Presidential. Even Trump can do that, and then he will be able to says what needs to be said in the Presidential way, just like all Presidents have learned to do. Obama, who continues to lie, is much smoother about it now, and Trump is much more savvy that Obama, so I’m sure he will become, and if you watch, is becoming more Presidential right now, He will be smooth and an excellent speaker not too long after elected if Hillary doesn’t become President and take away all our freedoms!
Nope, he can’t do it, he has no ability or interest is acting presidential. He has stated that many times so give up on it, he will never be a USA representative that anyone can be proud of, neither will HRC, GO DONNIE, LIE YOUR WAY INTO THIS, I GIVE U MY SUPPORT,,,,,,,,,GO USA
You sounded like you are lying inside Trump body. How are u sure he can not learn anything ??? So you can ??? So why did I you run ?? Or now RUN AWAY
U r weird, get with it …..
the media is really after Trump but that’s the only way they can bring trump down so they lie and interpret things
any way they want. Trump said nothing about killing clinton –that was the media saying that. why don’t they tell about when clinton mentioned assassination regarding obama when they were competing for the nomination?
I want to know why after I have taken time to write a comment this site has told me I already said that when I did NOT! What is really with this site????
Last best chance. For as long as I can remember ( 65 years) Republican, Democratic and Independents all complained about the people running this country being beholden to the lobbyists. Now we have a man for the most part has paid his own way and is no ones puppet ;we want him to be more like the politicians we all despise. Yes it is true his verbiage can be a little rough, not smooth like the politicians we listen to for so many years, specializing in word smithing of liars, deceit and back room paybacks but there again Mr. Trump is not a politician. If we are to get what we hope for we need to forget the party thing do what is best for America. We need the elect someone who is more true full with the will to clean out the rat nest in D.C and give the working person a fighting chance to get ahead or at least pull even. Obama, Clintons, Bushes and others on both sides need to be sent packing. They have been parasites. The first step to recovery is to elect Mr. Trump. We need to hold his feet to the fire too make sure he works for us. Let flip the bird to the lame street media for we vote our minds. We have seen through they bias and can think for ourselves. God Bless America
To HELL with the 2nd A. It, like almost every other section. phrase, word in the constitution is naught but a starting point for attacking private property and individual freedom, the anathema of control freaks. Instead defend PROPERTY RIGHTS. For that “gun” is only another piece of personal property, albeit an important one, like a printing press, lake front cabin on a (horrors) WATERWAY (in)conceivably attached to the navigable waters of the US, or my (expletive) Tee shirt. I say AGAIN, the Prize to keep ones eye on is God-given Property Rights. Get distracted by “reasonable controls” and you have lost the argument, something easily won by framing the argument properly.
John “Son of Thunder” Redman-
i agree that many SCOTUS judges and lawmakers and presidents and candidates have repeatedly tried to insert the word “reasonable” into the 2nd. It says what it says and means what it means.
Many people like to think that the 2nd only applies to “well-regulated militia,” but the F&F were quite clear on this point, too:
“The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American … the unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.”
— Tench Coxe(1755-1824) American political economist
Source: Pennsylvania Gazette, February 20, 1788
“Who are the militia, if they be not the people of this country…? I ask, who are the militia? They consist of now of the whole people, except a few public officers.”
— George Mason(1725-1792), drafted the Virginia Declaration of Rights, ally of James Madison and George Washington.
Source: in the Virginia Convention on the ratification of the Constitution, June 16, 1788, in Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, Jonathan Elliot, ed., v.3 p.425 (Philadelphia, 1836)
..of course, now the “few public officers” are legion, perhaps surpassing the entire populations of all the original 13 colonies together, too…
Are all the “NUTS” that accuse Donald Trump @ killing KILLARY Jack asses? They must have fallen out of bed on their heads,
I do not think Trump called for a hit on Clinton that is the one sided media. He was saying gun holders better think if they are considering putting Clinton in because their gun rights would be gone. I wish the media would just stay out of the political race if they can’t be truthful for both sides and it’s obvious they can’t.
LIBERAL MEDIA DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA. POLITICAL THEATER, NON-STOP. CHILDISH, PETTY GARBAGE SPEWING FROM CNN AND THE OTHER MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLETS. REALLY TEDIOUS.

Sorry, folks. What he said was threatening to Hillary Clinton. He is abominable.
It seems that the Secret Service agrees with you, as that agency is reported to have spoken with Trump’s campaign about the remarks (http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/secret-service-spoke-to-trump-about-%e2%80%98second-amendment%e2%80%99-remark-report/ar-BBvtYwm?ocid=spartandhp). Someone should also speak to him about calling on the Russians to hack American computers. Someone should certainly discuss his general stupidity with him. The only sensible thing he has said recently was in Detroit where he seemingly borrowed Paul Ryan’s speech on the economy. The ideas he advanced in that speech remained stupid, and probably beyond his comprehension, but they had internal consistency and could be considered “sensible.”

Male bovine excreta.
Even the link YOU PROVIDED says that Trump was NEVER spoken to about this NON-ISSUE by the SS. “Unnamed source”? Really? That’s what you want to rely upon?
why wasn’t trump arrested if he told people to kill Clinton?why why why? because he did not there would have been a charge of terrorist threatening which means if you tell people to kill someone you would be charged with that or conspiracy to kill
You know only talk no action in all

Ok, first, The Horn provided(in their 2nd video) evidence that what The Liar said toward D’OweBama was far worse. Did you see it? Do you disagree?
The Liar doesn’t need to be THREATENED; she needs to be braceleted and frog-marched to the nearest paddywagon. At a bare MINIMUM, she’s totally guilty of Perjury. There is a strong indication that she – or someone at her orders – killed 3 people recently, too – two of them the former president of the UN, John, and a 27-yr-old DNC worker, Seth. It seems that all three were prepared to testify against The Liar. A LOT of people who had info on the Clinton’s foul deeds have met similar fates over the last 40+ years, too.
America has become the land of MURDER. Scalia was just the tip of the iceberg. Judgment is coming.
Donald isn’t a politician. He hasn’t developed the skill of choosing his words to avoid offending people.
I took it that he was hinting that the second amendment supporters might go after the judges. The truth is the Supreme Court has become a powerful group of people. Their gay marriage decision voided the state marriage amendments which had passed overwhelmingly. In Kentucky we approved our marriage amendment with 75 percent voting for the amendment. When you have a powerful group of 9 people that can overrule the will of the people you have a problem.
One of the biggest concerns in this election is who will choose the judges who gets to make these major decisions. It’s safe to say the people appointed to fill the vacancies over the next four years will occupy a spot on the Supreme Court for the next 30-40 years.
Yes, have to vote by polices,by future goals,not by name you like .
I want our border secured
I want our economy under control
I want ISIS and similar issues under control
Who is the one will work on these ?
I do not care about what language is used, how the candidate look …….
I am a 20+ year retired USAF Senior NCO and you will never find a more Pro-Second Amendment individual. I watched and heard what Mr. Trump stated and what the mentally retarded Liberal Media is trying to imply did not even cross my mind when I heard his comments. In no way, shape or form did I interpret what he said to be a veiled threat of violence against The Butcher of Benghazi by 2nd Amendment supporters. I heard exactly what he meant…..that 2nd Amendment rights supporters are a political force to be reckoned with. No more, no less. The Lame Stream Media, and Clinton Lap Dogs are cerebally damaged. They will say anything, tell any amount of lies, twist any amount of facts to get that brain damaged, corrupt, Sociopathic Liar elected. Wake up America! This woman is Cyanide to the USA. She will continue Obama’s quest to poison this country and turn it into Chicago on steroids. DON’T BUY HER BS!
No. Trump did not call for Hillary to be shot. But he did point out that the legal gun owners mobilize and make their voices heard to elected officials more effectively than almost any other group On the contrary, when Hillary said she was staying in the race in case Obama was assassinated, it surely sounds like she was inviting it to happen.
The corrupt media acts and moves like a machine, all coming at Trump in unison. I can’t blame the man for fighting back, but when it comes to vilifying, character assassination, that corrupt media has the edge. It follows the Alinsky Rules for Radicals!
If I were Mr. Trump, I’d respond to the media just once about any media baiting,, being careful not to give them a statement they could make into their war-cry. And, they are at war with Mr. Trump, not necessarily because he’s Donald Trump, but because he’s the Republican candidate. That’s the way it is, that’s how it’s been in elections for decades. If Trump does respond, he must move on to something else immediately, to linger on an insult by the media becomes a media constant attack. The man is Trump the fighter, not Dukakis or Romney, the sissies..
There is something new to this campaign, too. It’s the undercurrent created by a group of snobbish Republicans who are against Trump. It’s Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, behind it. Two of those named afixed their signatures promising to back any candidate who’d win the primary. As far as I’m concerned, they’re liars and cry-babies, people I’d hesitate voting for anyway. But, they are behind the “establishment Republican” effort to literally surrender the election to Hillary and the Democrats. Donald Trump can win without those bums, but it will take plenty of “people power”…..That’s us!
To clarify what Jack commented before that it is on YouTube about Trump calling Americans and Iowa stupid. I went to see the YouTube myself. I found: He did not call Americans in general or as a whole “stupid.” He called our leaders are stupid, our politicians are stupid … to allow this to happen (meaning China and Mexico outsmart us) … THAT IS EXACTLY HOW MEDIA TAKING THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT TO FIT THE PROPAGANDA AND DISTORTING WHAT HE MEANT.
In my opinion, our leaders are NOT stupid. They are intentional to push their polices for self-interest purpose. Our system has lost the check and balance and allow corruption, lawlessness, and ENDLESS lies (with many media smoke screens attacking Trump) to continue. To vote for Hillary is to allow this same old system to continue – and even worse to look ahead.
Trump has guts to go against neocons, corrupt politicians, banksters, wall street crooks. He pissed them off and they are collectively trying to stop him. Can he win this race? I hope so but cards are stuck against him….I wish him luck and good health, everything else he allready has.
Hillary is the spin queen with the greatest, most corrupt spin team. Focus on the real issues, not side distractors her team leaps on to divert attention from Hills gone looney.
Bottom Line. The News Media is the culprit here. They will say what ever it takes to make themselves heard. I think
most people like trash and that is why they listen to the lies ( twisted words ) that they say and publish. They can make trash out of any statement made by anyone. Usually not Clinton for it’s not in their best interest to bad mouth her as she is part of government that controls the media and what they say. This means all of them, Fox, cnn, abc, msnbc, they are all under the control of
Obama. She has way to much dirt gathered and stored against most of her circle they dare not say anything that would put her down. I must say, I admire Mr Trump for the way he stands up to these dishonest people of the News Media. He will be OUR next
President and will take all the free bennies away from the greedy government people who are against him, D’s and R’s.
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP PENCE PENCE PENCE all the way,, Make America GREAT again
Amen to that. I was at Trump’s rally in Wilmington Tues. & he did not say anything about assassination of Hillary, & I listened to the reply & still do not hear anything coming from his lips indicating so. The media twist everything Trump says around to be something different from what he actually said. Seems it does not matter what he says, they will make it out to be something bad. I thought the rally was great Tuesday, he was not negative, he had a good tone of voice & demeanor, & he focused on the important issues. I even told others this & that he was fantastic. I cannot understand how in the world anyone could want Hillary Clinton to be President of our country, with all the lies & corruption she, Bill Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, has been involved with over decades. Some of which others have included in their comments above. Yes, shame on politicians for letting them get away with all the corruption. With all the things that are coming out now, there’s no telling how much more evil they have been involved with that had not even been discovered yet. It’s time people step up, government officials, military, etc.,to disclose things, & put an end to her corruption. Wake up Americans.
Such poor thinking literally evidences the lack of intelligent educated thought in the United States of America these days. Any who actually have taken the time to educate and study, understand that Mr. Trump was stating that those who support the Second Amendment recognize their abiding legal ability to pursue matters legally.
If the Second Amendment is isolated to the sole address of guns, then marriage as defined in the Constitution is isolated to being between a man and a woman. As marriage has been defined having broader scope, so does the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment’s assurance of the right to defend oneself is not simply a reference to Firearms. In its broader scope, the Second Amendment is the legal right to defend oneself from the most general case, to the most extreme use of force. The general standard of defense would be through the US Legal System while the more extreme form of defense would be through the use of a firearm. Hence, a reference to the legal ability to stand pursuing justice through the US Legal System pursuant to the Second Amendments broader scope, is by no means a suggestion to assassinate any. Any who should so brashly rush to thoughts of assassination, evidence the incredible turn to poor and highly questionable thought processes so overly abundant in the United States of America these days. It is easy to grasp wrong thought processes when one has not pursued greater education and research to prove matters.
The Second Amendment is about the right to defend oneself from the most general of means, such as the US legal system, to the most extreme defense of weapons and firearms. To be so narrow minded as to believe the Founders were simply addressing Firearms evidences such lack. The address is about the assurance of legal right to defend oneself from the simplest form of address to the most extreme. Therefore, Mr. Trump could at no point have intimated any attempted assassination, as he simply stated that those who understood the Second Amendment knew that they could pursue matters through the legal Justice System if they did not like their current status with Hillary Clinton. Please pursue greater education. Thank you.
