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.
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
It is important for us to remember the name “Steven Cheung” and the names of all those who enable and defend this kind of violent rhetoric in an official capacity. Politically motivated violence is the definition of “terrorism”.
A rational and moral person would resign instead of write this statement. These people are dangerous, and they won’t just vanish if Trump loses on election day.
The job of the Trump campaign manager is actually very easy. Just observe what is going on around the candidate and just say that the opposite is happening.
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
So he’s saying he hides behind fake news?

Here’s his picture, from Wikipedia:
I mean, to be fair, what would any of us need to be sniffing to do that job?

You get dumber the longer you read it
Okay buddy. Whatever you need to tell yourself.

Any leader that requires that much protection from the people he’s supposed to be serving, obviously isn’t serving the people very well.
