Two months ago, I wrote a post that left a lot of people pissed off. It was titled “Donald Trump Basically Said He Wants Hillary Clinton Assassinated,” which I said because of his tweet stating he wanted Hillary Clinton to forgo Secret Service protection. You know, the people who are there to keep the president from getting assassinated.
Everyone thought I was speaking way too hyperbolically and taking Trump’s words out of context.
Well, how about this one?
During a rally in North Carolina, Trump said, about Hillary winning and nominating Supreme Court justices of her choosing, “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks, although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”
So he was either advocating for gun owners to A. Threaten Hillary Clinton over her picks using firearms, B. Take out the judges she elects, or C. Participate in an armed revolt against the government.
Or he was saying people who support the Second Amendment could A. Come out in droves to elect him, or B. Hire really talented, eloquent lawyers to argue their cases to a court of Clinton-appointed judges who want to repeal the Second Amendment.
Which of the five do you think it is?
UPDATE: It was my fourth suggestion.

Doesn’t really explain why he said “I don’t know.” after.
Here is Clinton’s campaign manager, Robbie Mook, on Trump’s words.
