https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/watch-trump-laughs-jokes-after-supporter-calls-for-shooting-migrants/Complaining to supporters from the Florida panhandle that migrants are trying to enter the U.S. through the Southern border, the President asked, How do you stop these people?
One supporter, as The Guardian reported, responded, Shoot them!
President Trump laughed, paused, then turned it into an applause line.
Thats only in the panhandle can you get away with that statement, Trump proclaimed. As the audience broke out into cheers and applause, Trump, who himself has called labeled immigrants animals, repeated: Only in the panhandle.

Haha, that's so funny.
You liberals really can't take a joke. What has the world come to when the President of the United States cannot laugh and joke about murder?

This presidency is like a crappy political docudrama on a throwaway cable network nobody watches. All evil, all the time, scripted for a third of the population that has totally lost their shit.

and then he will do it or his followers will do it and they will say it was the proper end result. It is just to get us to believe that it the SOP, not something horrific.

He's from round those parts, if I remember correctly
