Trump warns of 'death -- a lot of death' if Congress doesn't build his wall

[Soph0571]

“This is common sense, they need a barrier, they need a wall,” Trump said of the agents.

Trump campaigned on building a concrete wall that Mexico would fund, but shut down the government because he now wants a steel fence paid for by American taxpayers.

“If you don’t have it, it’s going to be nothing but hard work and grueling problems,” Trump claimed.

“And by the way, and death,” he added. “And death. A lot of death.”

A not so subtle call to arms?

1. Is he talking about the shutdown?

And how it will affect the American People who depend on the government?

Because that's the scenario he paints. Sounds like a typical terrorist or mobster.

"I'm gonna kill your pets and burn down your business if you don't give me what I want".

3. This shutdown may well result in deaths, and the blood will be on his hands.

After all, he is the one who originally claimed that he would be proudly wearing the mantle for this shut down, no matter how much he deflects his responsibility, now.

4. So now he is threatening us with death?

If I did that to someone I would have my ass thrown in jail.

Skinheads or just your garden variety deplorables?

9. Is he going to have CBP , ICE, and US Army open fire on people? Immigrants? Protesters?

Or just anyone who opposes him?
