    Words cannot describe the menace behind this claim!

    He would never be nominated if he did such a thing. It's a stupid remark for him to have exclaimed.

    As outrageous as his comment was, I'm almost ready after watching and listening to his supporters overlook every other whopping lie he's told since entering the race, either accepting it at face value or, on rare occasions, just dismissing it.

    Trumps point is he has a very loyal following and he is correct. It's not about him its about what he represents, he is the anti Christ to the usual power brokers in DC and people love that.

    Trump is 100% right.

    he could commit mass murder, and his supporters would still love him.

    ...maybe worship him.

    I'm sorry but the thread is borderline juvenile.
    Who could be so foolish not to believe Trump's comment was rhetorical.
    I think the left is getting mighty desperate, of course with a candidate who is doomed, who can blame them!

    I'm not sure if he was being serious about that or not, but if he was then go do it and see what happens.

    Trump does make a good point, his devotees and worshipers are so enthralled and in love with him, that he can do nothing wrong.

    Of course it's rhetorical ... but, my god, could you imagine the cries of, "The Cult of Obama," if Obama had
    dared utter something like this - even in most joking terms?

    If Trump can get elected after saying something like this, then Trump supporters had better get used to a constant litany of
    "The Cult of Trump," for the next four years.

    Trump is the anti-thesis to Obama and the hardcore left. They are all trapped in their own box of political correctness, and expect everyone else to trap themselves in the same box. Trump ignores it all, and is the living example of what free-speech actually means.

    Intellectually, Trump is a bit of a rogue for which I am still a bit unsure of, but intuitively he does seem to be exactly what we need right now to counteract the harmful effects of the oppressive and destructive efforts of the left.

    If Trump shot some of the America-hating bastards that have plagued this country for the past 15 years, quite a large number of people would want to give him a certificate of appreciation and a parade down Broadway! :smile:

    And Hillary IS responsible for the deaths of at least 4 people and her devotees and worshippers are enthralled and in love with her that she can do no wrong. If Trump kills 4 people then no vote from me because hopefully he would be in jail.

    Trump could kill a million people, and his loyal lemmings would still love him.

    Depends on how you interpret the meaning. I'm taking it as people are loving his message and vision and want a real change.
    Like I've said before, I wasn't a Trump guy, but he's growing on me.
    Is he arrogant, well of course, is he a narcissist, yup!
    But the thing I'm liking about him most is he's not a career politician. Does that mean he will run the country for the better, I don't know but I can sure as hell look back at the last 30 years and see the politicians haven't.

    So I'll take my chances, seems like a much better bet to me.

    It isn't exactly clear how the promise of great power changes an essentially harmless narcissist in a tyrant, but it probably isn't worth giving Donald Trump the nuclear codes to find out:

    "What happens when another world leader who is a loose cannon doesn’t give Trump the admiration that he feels he deserves?

    "We can be sure that notoriously anti-American dictators like Kim Jong-un of North Korea or Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei aren’t going to give him any respect, let alone praise.

    "How would a President Trump react when he feels he is being put down or undermined?

    "Will we see the start of World War III because the leader of the most important nation in the world doesn’t feel that others are kissing his ass as much as they should be?

    "Narcissistic personality disorder is known to have strong negative effects on relationships, and when it comes to being an effective and responsible world leader, diplomacy is everything."

    Rhetoric? Would it have made a difference if he said that he could rape someone and he would not lose any voters? Perhaps it was a joke, so funny laughing at someone being shot. Perhaps if he was going for a job at a grocery store then his comment could be laughed off, but going for the top job in the country.................

    His comment is an insult to his supporters
