Disarm Clinton’s bodyguards, ‘let’s see what happens to her’

Donald Trump again alluded to violence against Hillary Clinton during a rally in Miami on Friday, September 16, suggesting that her security team’s guns be taken away.

Mr Trump has “a pattern of inciting people to violence”, the Clinton campaign spokesperson, Robbie Mook, said later on Friday.

“These are individuals who care deeply for our country, and I will tell you we should continue to respect the idea of patriots”, he said.

“I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons”, the Republican presidential nominee said Friday.

“It has tightened up because I think Martha as you know, even with your discussions with voters, we are a divided nation. Let’s see what happens to her”, he added. Clinton has called for tightening access to guns, including instating universal background checks, but has never suggested she would seek to do away with the Second Amendment. Immediately. She doesn’t want guns.let’s see what happens to her. Take their guns away, okay?

‘It’ll be very risky, ‘ Trump added.

Flake has long refused to endorse the celebrity billionaire, saying that if Trump’s campaign doesn’t change course and if the candidate doesn’t change his tone and tenor, he risks putting Arizona, a traditionally red state, in the Democratic column this year.

There is no evidence to link Mrs Clinton to the birthers.

But he went on to accuse Clinton of starting the so-called birther controversy – President Obama’s citizenship conspiracy theory. “Although the second amendment people (gun owners), maybe there is, I don’t know”, he said in a campaign rally in North Carolina.

Trump’s latest remarks have been widely condemned.

Another day, another not-quite-threat from Donald Trump.

Trump said he meant gun owners should vote against her, not try to kill her.

Trump argued, as he often does, that if the innocent people at the sites of recent mass shootings had been armed, the outcomes would have been different. “They should disarm, right?”

Trump promised to help the “oppressed” Venezuelans and to repeal Obamacare.

Trump’s previous jokes about forcing Clinton’s bodyguards to give up their firearms hadn’t invoked a possible attack so overtly.

Trump has often cited the country as a model of a failed state, warning that if Clinton is elected, she’ll turn the USA into Venezuela.

The “birther” movement had questioned Hawaii-born Mr Obama’s citizenship and therefore his eligibility as president.
