Trump's stupidist attack yet: Hillary should disarm her Secret Service detail because

she wants to ban all guns.

Perfect lying fodder for stupid voters.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump slammed rival Hillary Clinton and vowed to abolish "gun-free zones" at the NRA Leadership Forum in Louisville May 20. Here's are key moments from that speech. (The Washington Post)
A day after Donald Trump told people at the National Rifle Association that Hillary Clinton would strip away their right to bear arms, the Republican seemed to suggest on social media that his opponent, who he thinks totes a hard line on gun control, should disarm her Secret Service team.

“Crooked Hillary wants to get rid of all guns and yet she is surrounded by bodyguards who are fully armed,” Trump tweeted Saturday morning. “No more guns to protect Hillary!”


Asked what Trump meant by his statement on social media, campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said, “the tweets speak for themselves.”
While accepting an NRA endorsement Friday at the group’s annual convention, Trump turned his attention to Clinton’s stance on guns, claiming that the Democratic front-runner wants to “abolish the Second Amendment.”

Trump went on to say that Clinton, if elected, would release violent criminals from prison into an unarmed and vulnerable society.

“Hillary wants to disarm vulnerable Americans in high-crime neighborhoods,” Trump said. “Whether it’s a young single mom in Florida or a grandmother in Ohio, Hillary wants them to be defenseless, wants to take away any chance they have of survival. … And that’s why we’re going to call her ‘Heartless Hillary.’?”

Clinton responded on Twitter, saying it is possible to uphold the Second Amendment while still “preventing senseless gun violence.”

And his fan base just laps it up.

He is a truly scary man. It will be a very interesting next several months.

I wish I could move to Switzerland. My health, mental and otherwise can't take any more. A VERY lame response from Hillary. IS that what we can expect?
