Quite a comment on the Obama presidency.

It was obviously a joke and part of larger message about how loyal his supporters are. You people act like he seriously suggested he was going to shoot someone in Manhattan.

No, we're saying his joke demonstrates how little he thinks of his supporters. We know it was a joke, but jokes are only funny when there is an undercurrent of truth.

I'd like to see the context where this comment doesn't show he knows his supporters are nuts.

Do you know where the word "fan" comes from?

I love it. Trump being Trump just ensures moderates and independents will vote Dem if Trump is the nominee.

Really?

I have voted Obama x2 and Kerry. I am voting for Trump.

He's basically calling his people stupid and they don't even know it

OR he's saying the other teams candidates are so awful he can do damn near anything and people still won't switch teams because the alternative is still worse.

Maybe I'm reading this the wrong way, but did you just say you would cheer him on if he shot a Democrat?

You would be reading way more into the post than is there.

I often sarcastically respond to posts that someone makes when I think it is silly and the OP is trying to make them out to be serious.

What context would improve upon this?

The fact that he said it in a jokingly manner (which I suspected from the get go)???

Oh remember when he did that SNL skit with the Trump prostitutes, do you think we can use some of those lines as serious statements against him as well???

Like it or not these folks are allowed a sense of humor.
