Trump basically accuses Alec Baldwin of murdering 'Rust' Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins


Trump said on Christ Stigall's radio show on Thursday, "In my opinion, he had something to do with it, but if nothing else, how do you take a gun, whether it's loaded or not loaded, how do you take a gun, point it at somebody that's not even in the movie, and just point it at this person and pull the trigger, and now she's dead."

SNIP

"Even if it was loaded, and, you know, that's a weird thing, maybe he loaded it," he said. "Who would put a gun, 'Here, Alec, here's your gun,' 'Oh, good,' lift it up, point it at a person, and pull the trigger, and, 'Oh, man, a bullet came out,' she's dead. So there's something wrong with him, he's a sick guy."

Allows a trigger to be pulled with the muzzle directed at a person.

Too many accidents have happened.

Even at a gun range, it is not permitted for someone to point an unloaded gun down range when people are changing their targets. Why? Because mistakes happen.

Of course they thought they were acting safely. I get that.

This terrible strategy should be another reminder that pointing guns at people and pulling the trigger will lead to terrible mistakes.

Of course he’s going after Alec Baldwin.

“Maybe he loaded it”? Doing what Trump does best — spewing baseless allegations from his fevered imagination.

He’s sick. Why give him the satisfaction of any attention?

Through his mismanagement of the Covid crisis to speading misinformation and hawking quack cures. He really needs to shut up about this.

... he'd say such a thing about the actor who parodied him on SNL.

Why didn't anyone in the media ever bring up the Trump casino executives who all died in a helicopter crash? They were his top executives at each of his casinos, not too long before shady business operations came out.

Trump drove those casinos into bankruptcy, for crying out loud. With the betting odds in their favor, that's quite an accomplishment in incompetence.

Helicopter crash:

Witnesses said the helicopter began spinning uncontrollably when its rotor apparently became detached from the body of the craft and crashed to the ground about 1:40 p.m. at Garden State Parkway milepost 71.5, about two miles north of the Barnegat toll plaza.

Until he goes on trial, he shouldn't make the news.

"So there's something wrong with him, he's a sick guy."

Yes, there IS something wrong with you, Donald. You are definitely a very sick guy!

A while back, I started noticing just how many of the insults he tosses out are blatant, classic projection. This is a prime example.

He'd have read the script required the gun to be shot at the camera (dramatic effect). I'm surprised it took him this long to say anything though given how Baldwin tore him apart on SNL for years. Just like Colin Powell though Trump shows once again what a classless individual he is.
