How the hell does Trump reconcile..."That will be a horrible day."

[Laffy Kat]

Directly after his Second Amendment quip, if what he was talking about was simply the unity behind second amendment supporters? It's like he immediately caught himself and tried to walk it back with "that will be a horrible day." It doesn't make sense otherwise. And why hasn't anyone asked him that or brought it up yet?

1. K&R

Why not indeed! That makes it obvious.

[emulatorloo]

2. He has his campaign lie about it.

3. I guess he meant

it would be a horrible day if the 2nd amendment rights people vote for Trump (the current campaign explanation for the statement).

For once, I agree with him.

Well, not really. He meant they should shoot her and that would be a horrible day.

4. I'm pretty sure that line refers back to the previous train of "thought".

The "2nd amendment people" shooting Clinton and/or the judges was a parenthetical comment, and the horrible day is the day she gets to pick her judges.

A shocking, horrifying statement none-the-less.

[Laffy Kat]

5. So she's picking all her judges on the same day?

Doesn't make sense. I honestly think he was walking back the assassination remark.

8. It's just my opinion.

I certainly can't and would never want to be able to read Trump's mind but it read that way to me.

"“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment…By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, that will be a horrible day.”

9. If that's the case, he's just an awful communicator.

Basically all over the place.

My guess is though he left it just vague enough to explain away after implying otherwise.

14. that's the way I read it as well....

hard to follow a derailed train of thought...

[ksoze]

19. Agree - that was my interpretation

[radical noodle]

6. I don't believe for a moment that he meant

that assassination of people he dislikes would be a horrible day. He's too self-centered. To him, it would be a very good day indeed. He wouldn't even be able to come up with the idea that it might be a horrible day as long as he was getting what he wanted.

7. "It was just a joke! Sheesh, the PC police are out in full force today!"

I'm surprised he hasn't said "let's finish what Hitler started" yet. But then again, it is only Tuesday.

10. If you feel it necessary to debate the context of what Trump said, then Trump won the day.

[Laffy Kat]

12. I DON'T debate the context of Trump's words.

Just those "explaining" it to us.

[pnwmom]

15. Not true at all. Trump lost this media day, big-time. n/t

[Skittles]

11. someone in another thread said it's the equivalent of

"That's a beautiful family you have; it would be a shame if anything happened to them."

it is thug-speak

[Kber]

13. He didn't.

He can't.

[roamer65]

16. Because he will be in Moscow when it happens.

Drumpf will run away from his sedition.

[Locrian]

17. trumps brain

He has no regulator on what he thinks (to use the term loosely) and says.

He made the suggestion - then tried to "cover" it with saying "that will be a horrible day." It makes it more damning as it shows what he really was thinking

18. Trump's Brain ...
