How about the 2nd amendment people won’t let their guns be taken? How is the jump made that Trump was advocating assassination? If anything, I could see people thinking he was implying there could be violence, which many people will be in danger if the government ever knocks on doors. Were you really bothered by that? He didn’t laugh or smile during the delivery. He certainly could have been implying, given the political might of the 2nd amendment people, that the group could still have a chance to apply that political pressure. Why not ask him, and see what he meant? Oh, somebody did. But everybody else knows what Trump “really” means, except Trump. Strange. Do you know what I’m thinking as well?
And, Americans will die before giving up their weapons. Why would it be inappropriate to suggest assassination is a possibility? It is. He didn’t advocate it. And his life is threatened constantly. The threats get no coverage for some reason. I can post the links if you like. Far more confirmed threats than HRC actually.
Trump also just said that Obama founded ISIS, and later clarified that statement by saying he meant it literally. I personally think he is 100% legitimate and not using any kind of hyperbole.
You are like intentionally naive or something, Americans love this act. What benefit is there in acting stupid though?
His strategy is obvious, same as people like Hitler have employed. Create anger and distrust, divisions, use your fanatics to make threats. He knows exactly what he is doing. We smarties know exactly what he is doing.
Wow, the guy went full retard. But Americans love it.
Very interesting, entertaining, and at the same time concerning article.
The author, states, has served three Republicans and three Democrats. He is unregistered. He has pulled for candidates in both parties and has always kept silence on his political stance. But not this year. This year he will publicly state that he supports Clinton and that Trump will be a threat to national security. He has sat with Clinton in the White House Situation room over past decade and found her to be very well prepared, knowledgeable, “detail-oriented, thoughtful, inquisitive and willing to change her mind if presented with a compelling argument.” Trump on the other hand fails to change his mind despite overwhelming evidence against his initial assessment.
The author also states that Trump repeatedly says that Putin is a great leader - Putin who killed thousands of journalists and opposing politicians and invaded Crimea resulting in thousands of deaths and refugees. “Mr. Trump has also taken policy positions consistent with Russian, not American, interests — endorsing Russian espionage against the United States, supporting Russia’s annexation of Crimea and giving a green light to a possible Russian invasion of the Baltic States.”
The author, Michael J. Morell, worked for CIA for over 30 years and is the former Director of CIA. He says, himself, as well as, Putin, who is also an ex- intelligence officer seeks out weakness and Putin has found Trump’s weakness, his childlike mentality and is using Trump right now. The author concludes by, "In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation."
"My training as an intelligence officer taught me to call it as I see it. This is what I did for the C.I.A. This is what I am doing now. Our nation will be much safer with Hillary Clinton as president."
^ Yeah. Trump needs allies. Since people in the states, even republicans, don’t want to be associated with him…he must reach out to Russia, South Korea, etc. He doesn’t really care, so why not…just use whoever he can get to gain some leverage. The most reckless guy ever, aside from maybe some North Korean leaders.
^What’s concerning is that something like that article would sway your opinion. Both parties can, and do, parade former members of the US military-industrial complex. Who do you think the military as a whole is voting for? Who do you think former Directors of the CIA are voting for as a whole? And for that matter who do you think most of the Gold Star families are voting for? If you watched the Democrat’s convention, you would think Hillary. Not the case. All fodder for the low information voter.
The author has become a politician and obviously has further career ambitions on the mind. He is getting in line with who he thinks the winner will be. He should probably stick to what he knows and follow the advice of this guy.
^Why don’t you tell military officials on the other side of the aisle to keep their politics private? Or is it that only Republicans are allowed to parade men in uniform?
