“You can shoot me but you’ll have to kill us all. Something”

WTF was that??

1. Guess the irony is that he's saying it behind bulletproof glass.

[nolabear]

2. He's terrified of being outside the bubble.

He knows he’s hated. I’m not sure it’s not part show too, to be even more of a victim than he is.

19. LOL!

3. "something rotten in the USA"?

We don't "kill" rotten fruit cakes. We eat them alive or donate them to charity.

[nolabear]

4. That sounds like a quote. Not like he's saying it himself.

I certainly didn’t watch though.

6. The "Something" that he mumbled afterwards was so freaking odd.

[nolabear]

7. God, what isn't. There's a book coming out about him and women

It sounds like it goes into long term character pathology particularly regarding women, but honestly he is so far off the norm in so many ways I imagine he’ll fuel studies for generations.

16. No kidding. It's like an alien or something trying to fake being human. Weird stuff like

"Warmest condolences."

[Brother Buzz]

9. It certainly sounds like a quote, and I'm guessing the 'Something' was the weak sauce qualifier

14. It is a deceptively edited clip to get people riled up and make them look stupid

From the prepared text of his speech:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-new-york-city-veterans-day-parade/

"Roddie was in the 422nd regiment, which was overwhelmed when the Nazis launched their surprise assault. He and his men fought for three treacherous days before being taken as prisoners of war.

After they arrived at a prison camp, the German commander sent an order over the loud speaker. The Jewish-American soldiers were all told to step out of line during the roll call the next day. Knowing the terrible fate that would come to his Jewish comrades, Roddie immediately said, “We’re not doing that.” He sent orders to have every American step out of line with their Jewish brothers-in-arms.

The next morning, 1,292 Americans stepped forward. The German commander stormed over to Roddie and said, “They cannot all be Jews.” Roddie stared right back; he said, “We are all Jews here.”

At that point, the German put a gun to Roddie’s head and demanded, “You will order the Jews to step forward immediately or I will shoot you right now through the head.” Roddie responded, “Major, you can shoot me, but you’ll have to kill us all.” That’s something. (Applause.) The German turned red, got very angry, but put down his gun, and walked away."


As you noticed, it should be obvious that it comes in context free, but there is always someone who will fall for this kind of thing.

5. No, Donwald. We're just going to impeach you and make you irrelevant.

[lunatica]

8. You mean it's ok to shoot the rest of his family too?!

OK. Is someone selling tickets?

[spinbaby]

10. Ever notice...

...how many posts have started with “WTF” lately?

[catbyte]

11. No kidding.

[malaise]

12. It's his assumption that there are people willing to die for him

Fuck that shit

[jberryhill]

13. No, it's a deceptively edited video which the OP fell for

15. Thanks for that

I didn't watch the Con this morning. Still he does believe people are willing to die for him. It is he and his goons talking about civil war.

17. Who is "us"

that we have to kill all of them? It sounds like he's talking about his base. If so, he's abandoned all pretense of being a president. A real president serves all Americans. Of course Trump never has, but now it sounds like he's admitting it.

18. It would be very tempting to say, "Challenge accepted," but

I suspect the Secret Service would take a dim view of it.
