At a campaign rally in Wilmington, N.C. today, Donald Trump said something… interesting/concerning/possibly terrifying. As he was discussing Hillary’s possible picks for the Supreme Court, he said this:
“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”
He could have been joking, and considering his track record, he could have also been completely serious. We’re gonna back away from this situation slowly and watch the internet meltdown.
Is Trump suggesting Hillary Clinton should be shot? https://t.co/AXfM8gjrPn
