They know he means "take guns from black people". They support that.
Republicans: You can never take our guns!
Trump: Take their guns!
Republicans:
I'm pretty sure the whole "the police know who they are, they know where they live, they know their middle name" bit means not-white-male.
So, it's a 3-way tug-of-war between gun fanaticism, their reincarnated jesus, and racism
Republicans: yes I'm still voting for the face eating leopard party!
It wouldn't be the first time. Like when Black Panthers were enjoying their 2nd Amendment rights. All of a sudden Republicans jumped on gun control.
The NRA is awfully quiet all of a sudden…
They'll just reshape it to "illegals with guns"
So what you're saying is... you're coming for their guns? Just making sure. OK.
No, obviously not the guns of real people, just the ones who get stopped and frisked by the police. Y'know... the ones you can tell are evil because they're... y'know, wink wink nudge nudge "urban".
So he's calling for en mass racial profiling for a gun round up essentially only in Chicago. Jfc. This man is deranged. Bruh this would never happen.
Furthermore, can this man not put a sentence together? Like at all?
Imagine him trying to order something at McDonald's drive through. He'd be like " I'd like a big Mac, great burger, excelle... ya know, the great people of Texas, their cattle, best cattle and let me tell you.. also an apple pie, have, have you ever had an apple from Nebraska? Best appl... Anyway so I'm talking to the mayor of Lincoln, Lincoln Nebraska and he says, he says Mr president that apple this apple it's for our troops and the troops are, it's like I tell my kids...... and on and on he goes until the drive through employee commits suicide via dipping head in deep fryer
OP and everyone in the comments are pretending he's talking about the 2nd amendment but he's just talking about good old fashioned racism.
Every time I read a quote from this idiot it hurts my brain. I could go on about how stop and frisk is a horrible, racist policy that is a violation of basic rights, but just reading anything he says is painful. His speech is so jarring, erratic, and logically flawed. I've listened to average second graders express their thoughts more eloquently than this piece of garbage.
If they know these people are active criminals they will have no problem citing just cause for arrest and search.
I live in Canada, our gun rules are different than the USA. This week in my city some charges against a dangerous criminal were dropped because the police had a "flagrant disregard for charter rights" (according to the judge) (oir charter rights are similar to American civil rights)
They searched him improperly, and found a loaded, illegal gun. Charges dismissed. If they had handled it properly they could have made the charges stick. What a waste of everyone's time. Police didn't respect his rights because they don't respect my rights.
When you see a guy coming down the street and you can — the police know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know where they live.
Like when we see a convicted felon coming down the street and we know his middle name is “John” and he lives in Palm Beach?
so, once again, Trump is talking about putting in place 2A restrictions. I guess he wants to be like Reagan.
I feel like I lose iq from reading this
stop and frisk was awful but regular Republican voters don't remember it because they've never lived in a city. most of what these idiots talk about has nothing to do with them at all
Regular republican voters dont remember it cause they were never a target for stop and frisk, because the melanin content in their skin isnt typically high enough to trigger cops.
The media and the people often do gymnastics to "translate trump" and interpret his dog whistle gibberish... STOP.
Don't read into this, read it on it's face and report it out to whoever - "trump wants to take your guns. Period."
Its black and white , right from his weird mouth with the "old man foam" frothing up on the sides.
First they came for the imaginary guns of imaginary black criminals, and I said nothing... Because I was also imagining their weapons and crimes and hiding in my little baby coward bunker of a home trying to buy bulletproof pants online that would make people think that maybe I might not have a tiny, weird penis....
Pretty sure this was on the topic of gun control, he said "take their guns away and go through due process later" but his 2Aer followers don't remember that.
No no no, you don't get it, it's the ~~black~~ other guy's gun /s
Those 2nd Amendment lovers? When you're their golden idol, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the gussy.
TRUMP: First of all, you — I know the people in Chicago. I know the police, because I built the building there. I spent a lot of time — the building, it was a — it’s a great building, a really great building.
How are serious people, seriously voting for this guy again?
Who's 'they'?
The people the drug war targets. Black people, latino people, anti-war people, etc.
Who it always is.
It always comes down to bigotry.
Sounds like the unfiltered 'stream of thought' of an 8 year old.
Nice ramble of a second paragraph there.
What a racist tiny handed weirdo.
It won't matter to Republicans, they'll even agree with it, because to them, they know he's talking about bad people, and by "bad people", he's of course referring to low-life black and latino thugs, people who really shouldn't be having guns (in their minds). They just don't want their own guns taken away, they don't care if other people have their guns taken away.
Did fox guy really refer to him as "Mr. President" ? Isn't that a bit weird.
They always do that. It's a tacit admission of the Big Lie.
IIRC it's technically proper to still use that title for former presidents, but very few actually do out of justified distaste for the man himself, along with the fact that it's definitely not a good idea to say anything that might imply you think he's still actually the president.
That’s the normal way to address a former president. They do the same with all the other former presidents as well, this isn’t the gotcha you think it is.
Edit to prevent spam: fuck Fox ~~News~~LeglallyDefinedAsEntertainment
He's so close! Somehow his racism took him down a weird convoluted path and ended up with gun control.
