When Trumpenfuhrer said he could shoot someone on national TV and not lose any supporters...

[gyroscope]

Was that a veiled threat to the media and anyone else who would oppose him?

Clearly, yes. The statement is extremely telling. What the hell kind of leader talks like that other than a murderous dictator or wannabe aspiring dictator?

1. I think he would get his contstantly desired high ratings

if the opposite were to happen....kind of like the ending of the film Network.

2. Don't forget

Trump praised white supremacists as "very fine people" after they literally murdered a woman.

Trump knows very well he says things that encourage or encite his base to act out violently and that is exactly what they do.

3. I think he was shitting on his base.

It's not the first time he has insinuated that he thinks the are idiots.

4. Or more likely he was

praising them for them unwavering loyalty.

We all know how Trump is huge on loyalty. He doesn't care if you are a cold-blooded murderer, as long as you are loyal to him you are good.

5. Very interesting point.

You might be right about his mind-set at the time.
