“If she gets to pick her judges”, Trump said, “nothing you can do, folks”.

Trump’s intended message was not immediately clear, but lawmakers, former national security officials and other critics expressed concern that Trump had advocated, possibly in jest, that Clinton or her Supreme Court nominees could be shot. The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms.
Clinton, in an economic speech Thursday outside Detroit, will hit Trump for not releasing his taxes and suggest that the returns cover up how much the businessman’s tax proposal would actually help people like him, an aide said Wednesday. But he’s also on defense over these words from yesterday about Hillary Clinton and gun rights.
“No such meeting or conversation ever happened”, Trump wrote on Twitter, accusing CNN of having made up the report.
Donald Trump offered a fatalistic assessment of his personal and political future on Thursday, saying he will not abandon the controversial style that fueled his ascent despite lagging poll numbers and a string of damaging controversies.

“Donald Trump stands for everything we in CT stand against”, the state Democratic Party wrote. The campaign told the Secret Service that any violent implications were unintentional, according to the network. She turned out to be an animal rights activist.
The Secret Service, tasked with protecting the president and presidential nominees, was taking Mr Trump’s remarks seriously and has spoken with Mr Trump’s campaign about them, CNN reported.

This time, Cramer noted, was “a little more tense”.
