drvoke Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Trump is again trying to incite the assassination of an American presidential candidate. He should be arrested. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/17/us/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton.html?_r=0 (Full article at above link) MIAMI — Donald J. Trump once again raised the specter of violence against Hillary Clinton, suggesting Friday that the Secret Service agents who guard her voluntarily disarm to “see what happens to her” without their protection. “I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in Miami, to loud applause. “I think they should disarm. Immediately.” He went on: “Let’s see what happens to her. Take their guns away, O.K. It’ll be very dangerous.” In justifying his remarks, Mr. Trump falsely claimed that Mrs. Clinton wants to “destroy your Second Amendment,” apparently a reference to her gun control policies. Presidential nominees are protected at all times by heavily armed teams of Secret Service agents, some uniformed and some undercover, who are devoted to the candidates’ physical safety. Mr. Trump’s comments were a provocative echo of widely condemned remarks he made in early August at a campaign rally in Wilmington, N.C. There, he airily suggested that gun rights supporters should rise up against Mrs. Clinton if she were elected to stop her from appointing judges who might favor stricter gun regulation. “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added, “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.” Those remarks were widely interpreted as an invitation for gun-rights supporters to take matters into their own hands should Mrs. Clinton prevail in November’s election. Mr. Trump never apologized or disavowed the comments, despite angry denunciations from all sides. Trump has shown “a pattern of inciting people to violence.” Violence and allusions to it have punctuated Mr. Trump’s campaign: Punches have been thrown at his rallies, protesters have been roughed up by Trump supporters, and the candidate himself has repeatedly deployed a lexicon of physical aggression. “I’d like to punch him in the face,” Mr. Trump said in February when a protester was dragged out of his rally in Las Vegas.

bludog Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Seeing all of Trump's veiled threats, the question becomes: What would happen if he suddenly was given the awesome responsibility of Commander-In-Chief? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillary having her agents disarm could set a precedent. She should do it in good faith. Seeing all of Trump's veiled threats, the question becomes: What would happen if he suddenly was given the awesome responsibility of Commander-In-Chief? I'm guessin he would have immediately ordered an extraction team to Bengazi. Succeed or fail, he would have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
