Trump Was Tickled by the Idea of Shooting Migrants Because He Loves Violence

On Tuesday, a student was killed and eight were injured during a school shooting in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. It was the second fatal school shooting in as many weeks, following the April 30th attack that left two dead at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. “Our Nation grieves at the unspeakable violence that took a precious young life and badly injured others in Colorado,” President Trump tweeted on Wednesday. “God be with the families and thank you to the First Responders for bravely intervening. We are in close contact with Law Enforcement.”

The president didn’t seem to have much of an issue with gun violence later on Wednesday, however, when he laughed off the idea of shooting migrants at the southern border while speaking in front of nearly 7,000 supporters in Panama City Beach, Florida.

In the middle of a rant about migrants approaching the border, Trump seemed to lament that border security agents aren’t allowed to use violence against those seeking asylum. “We don’t let them, and we can’t let them use weapons,” he said. “We can’t. Other countries do. We can’t. I would never do that.”

“But how do you stop these people?” he continued.

“Shoot them!” yelled someone in the crowd.

Trump laughed. The crowd laughed. “That’s only in the panhandle could you get away with that statement,” Trump said. The crowd began applauding and cheering. “Only in the panhandle,” Trump said again.

1. It's very clear that what he's REALLY saying is "Too Bad I can't get away w/saying that in D.C."

"Because that's REALLY what I'd love to do ... Shoot 'em all. I mean, not ME, but my henchm ... loyal servan ... errr ... our Soldiers, following My Glorious Orders!"

2. That approach seems to work out for Trump.

Get others to do what you suggest then abandon them. Classic tactics of a grade school bully.

4. He loves the *idea* of violence.

The notion of others doing his violence for him. I doubt he has the constitution for it himself.

5. I would not be shocked to hear there are a lot of dead migrants in unmarked graves on the border

Done by the border patrol and those militia groups. And that are a lot of dead people in detention centers that are being covered up. Until this nightmare of the orange maggot is over the country will be shocked to find out atrocities carried out by his administration. remember a lot of the Germans had no idea of the camps and political murders done by Hitlers government.

Why won’t they let congress members into these migrants centers without advance notice?

7. I wonder how he fells about

Hanging a traitor.
