Trump on Clinton’s guards: ‘Take their guns away’
This wasn’t the first time Trump drew heavy criticism for a perceived assassination comment.
Trump’s remarks came just hours after the real estate magnate was forced to reverse his long-held position that President Barack Obama was not born in the USA, the BBC reported.
Some of my thoughts on a presidential campaign day, where first lady Michelle Obama slapped down Trump – without ever mentioning his name – in her debut 2016 stump speech at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. Trump said. The screen behind him glowed with a mock-up of Trump and some supporters in French Revolutionary garb.
Trump emerged as the de facto leader of the birther movement when he launched a campaign attacking the legitimacy of Obama’s birth certificate. There was even a White House petition a few years back calling on the White House to disarm security guards for Obama, Vice President Biden and their families, given the White House’s stance on guns.
The amusing thing is that Trump seems to think this works for him.
Donald Trump says that, if he’s elected president, he will reverse President Barack Obama’s efforts to normalize relations with Cuba – unless the country abides by certain “demands”.
“Donald Trump looks at President Obama after eight years as our president”.
The Hillary Clinton campaign moved Saturday to further distance itself from the re-ignited controversy about President Obama’s birthplace and long-time Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, saying neither Clinton nor the 2008 campaign “ever” questioned the president’s citizenship.
“President Obama’s successor can not and will not be the man who led the racist birther movement”.
“For five years, he has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president”, she said.
“He’s feeding into the worst impulses…the bigotry and bias that lurks in our country”, Clinton said.
The 44th U.S. president was born in Hawaii. “And Donald Trump owes him and the American people an apology”. “I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons, they should disarm, right?”
“No serious gun rights person believes that a Secret Service protectee should have their protection taken away”, Mr. Bennett said. The Republican nominee suggested that she wanted a ban on all guns, which is not the case. Take their-let’s see what happens to her. “Okay, it would be very unsafe”.
“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy”, Trump said Friday morning.
Trump’s comments at a Friday rally in Miami mark a reversal of his previous position.
She wants to destroy your Second Amendment. “And he’s answered these questions with the progress we’ve achieved together”.
Trump’s latest remarks have been widely condemned.
“During that meeting, Mr. Blumenthal and I met together in my office and he strongly urged me to investigate the exact place of President Obama’s birth, which he suggested was in Kenya”. “The next president of the United States must stand in solidarity with all people oppressed in our hemisphere, and we will stand with oppressed people, and there are many”, he said. I was pretty confident about where I was born.
He was also still refusing to say that Mr Obama had been born in Hawaii when questioned on the issue during a Washington Post interview on Thursday.
“Why doesn’t he show his birth certificate?”
