Water is not wet!
But hes helping gun sales because soon non-gun nuts will have to start arming themselves in preparation for when the "2nd Amendment people" try to stage a rebellion later this year so the NRA will say nothing.

This doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence he said. He specifically set the scene as WHEN Hillary is president and picking judges, there will be nothing you can do except....LOLOLOLOLOL X2
Not "to prevent her from picking judges before it happens, go vote". His hypthetical is a post election scenario, not a current vote persuasion
Agreed. It's not really funny anymore. This is just utterly sickening.
Well...he also wanted to know why we can't use nukes, so...

Still, the mention that her pick for SCJ should inspire an armed resistance is just irresponsible and another notch on the belt of the endless unethical and undiplomatic things Trump says. There's no defending it.
Edit: Oh, now we're classifying 2nd Amendment people? My eyes can't roll enough.
Ah but that's what he meant! (Of course he didn't. It's his team's spin)
It will work. You'll see.

QFT. Excellent point.
Dave Itzkoff's recorded the guy in the background.

Anyone saying he didn't mean what he meant is full of shit because even the people behind him understood what he meant.

Also the news media barely had picked up on that story so it's hilarious they respond to the dishonest media. Someone lost their shit and quickly put that out

Well, it's certainly not working for any major pundit.
If Trump meant 2nd Amendment supporters voting against Hillary there are so many ways he could have said it without looking like he's inciting violence.
"Hillary wants to take away our guns! Supporters of the 2nd Amendment should go out and vote in November to stop her from doing so!"
There, not exactly concise but you can tell exactly what it meant. "Maybe there is..." sounds like a stereotypical mafioso telling his henchman to "Take out the trash" or "deal with the situation"

And here I was annoyed at how the daily multiple scandals were slowing down.
actual tweets from Trump supporters:
I'm between facepalming and outright vomiting. And no, I'm not censoring their fucking usernames, IDGAF.

I can only imagine what it must be like to be one of the Secret Service agents assigned to protect Donald Trump.
SO to SSA: "So how was work today, honey?"
SSA: "Well my charge upped the ante against Clinton, instead of instigating a foreign power to intervene on his behalf, he basically asked Pro-Gun Americans to assassinate her instead. That led to by far the strangest call I have ever had to make to my mirror in the Clinton detail"

In his hypothetical she's already elected and appointing judges. In that situation he said there's nothing his audience could do except [something] involving 2nd amendment voters. The only way to spin it is by interpreting what that [something] is.
I know right? Always calling him on the words he actually said. It's ridiculous.
My mouth can't hang any lower.
He's gone plaid!
And he'll say that he meant 'get out to vote to prevent that', blame the liberal media for misleading the American people, and the world keeps spinning.
It most certainly will not sink his campaign like some hope it could.

For all the "joke" dismissals: Trump's comments do not exist in a vacuum.
Putting this in context with every violent suggestion he's "joked" about regarding roughing up protesters, asking why we can't use nukes on a whim, trying to tell his supporters that there's a vast vote-rigging conspiracy against him. All of his comments too innumerable to list here must be taken into context. Donald Trumps's entire public persona from the campaign over the past year must be taken into context when considering this "joke".
This wasn't like some random joke from an otherwise stable, controlled candidate, where dismissing it as just an unfortunate joke is a plausible excuse.
This "joke" fits Donald Trumps' pattern as a dangerous, unstable ideologue to a T.

I don't need the media to tell me what something meant. I watched the clip. It's impossible to get any other meaning from it than advocating violence.LOLOLOLOLOL X2
It was entertaining at first, then it got frightening, then it became a trainwreck that you sort of can't look away from.
Fascination of the abomination.

Remember a few months ago when people claimed he was going to "pivot?"
Remember a few days ago when people claimed the GOP finally got to him and he was going to stop saying stupid shit?

I don't give a fuck if he was joking or not
You don't joke about the assassination of a president and supreme Court judges. Whether you're running for president or not.

"Nothing you can do folks. Although the second amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."
Verbatim.
No way he can weasel out of this.
If he meant voting he'd have made it more clear and plain.
He sure as shit wouldn't have said "nothing you can do".
Just LOOK at the people behind him, some are astonished he said it, most are laughing.
They know full well what he meant.

"Are we the baddies?"
Excellent response.
As long as she stays the course without fucking up, his campaign is over anyway. Let him Eastwood his way to the end.
A minor nitpick with the way some are reading this quote – he wasn't referring to "Second Amendment Folks [sic – he said "people"]" as some theoretical group of people. There should be a comma in the quote. "People" is used as an interjection.
"Although the 2nd Amendment, people, maybe there is."
He's speaking broadly to the entire audience (both physically present and those watching elsewhere), not to a specific group that identify as 'second amendment people.

Jesus, do these idiots think they do background/identity screening of people who go to open rallys? Have they been to one?
They pat you down and scan you for metal. At least that's all they did when I went to see Obama.
