'Shoot them': Trump laughs off demand for violence against migrants at rally

A roar rose from the crowd of thousands of Trump supporters in Panama City Beach, Florida, on Wednesday night as President Donald Trump noted yet again that Border Patrol agents can't use weapons to deter migrants. "How do you stop these people?" he asked.The audience cheered. Supporters seated behind Trump and clad in white baseball caps bearing the letters "USA" laughed and applauded.

The fans seated directly behind Trump wore serious, perturbed frowns, which were quickly replaced by broad grins after the shouted suggestion that the solution involved firearms. Uproarious laughter rippled across the room as audience members whistled and offered a round of applause. One member of that militia had also questioned why the group wasn't killing migrants, according to a police report first obtained by left-leaning news outlet The Young Turks.

On Wednesday, Trump's choice to laugh off the demand for violence, rather than condemn it, struck some as worrisome and possibly portentous. "Other countries stand there with machine guns, ready to fire," Trump said at the time, adding: "We can't do that. I wouldn't want to do that, OK? It's a very effective way of doing it but I wouldn't want to do it. We can't do it."

Trump attacks social media companies after Facebook bansPresident Donald Trump retweeted far-right extremists and criticised social media companies after Facebook banned a number of controversial figures, declaring that he was 'monitoring and watching, closely!!' Omg far right extremists. Give me a break. Are you saying Watson is a far-right extremist ? PrisonPlanet is currently in contact with media lawyers and suing for defamation. Better lawyer up son. I strongly suspect that a large percentage of Americans are absolutely fed up with the amount of time realDonaldTrump POTUS spends (wastes) on Twitter. Surely most switch off when he launches into his diatribes, preferring to watch reruns of Gilligan's Island instead.
