Quote:Trump calls Secret Service Liars. This should not make Trump's Secret Service detail eager to take a bullet for him if the need arises. I sure hope they're more professional than he is.

He now claims that he was just pointing out that "blah-blah" . . .

I suppose I need to say that Trump is "in error". The US Secret Service has spoken to the Trump campaign about his apparent threat against Clinton.

In his column today, New York Times writer Thomas Friedman said that the episode reminded him of the toxic rhetoric that preceded the 1995 assassination of Israeli prime minister Yitzhaq Rabin. Hillary would be in the role of Rabin.

I think he knows exactly what he's doing, but then again, you may be more right than anything about his take on things. He says things to excite and incite, fanning the flames so to speak. He knows his base and what they like
to hear and repeats the rhetoric that got him the nomination.
Actually, since his declining numbers in the polls, he's picked up his rhetoric and cranked it up to 11. He basically lies through his teeth to
deflect any negative press, that's in addition to calling the media liars.
He never lies or makes mistakes, no not Trump.
Now, for those that point fingers at the media, Hillary has her faults as well. But can you trust a pathological liar? No, Trump doesn't make any
sense, but don't be fooled, he's as crazy as a fox.

He now claims that he was just pointing out that "the Second Amendment people" would rise up and take political action. But why did he claim "that will be a horrible day" if that were to happen?
As with most things, Drumpf doesn't make any sense, either in the things he says or in his weak-kneed attempts to explain those things after the fact.

The bot, which moderates an anti-Trump sub-Reddit called EnoughTrumpSpam, has been casting vague and probably false aspersions about Trump in a voice not unlike that of the Republican presidential nominee. If the rumors weren’t about him, you might think that Trump started them himself.
“Speaking of tax returns, did you hear Donald Trump is refusing to release them because Donald Trump has donated to NAMBLA? That’s what all the best sources, the most tremendous sources are saying,” the AutoModerator bot says. NAMBLA is the North American Man-Boy Love Association.
It’s extremely unlikely that Trump donated money to NAMBLA. There’s no evidence suggesting he did. (Trump’s campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.) But doesn’t that syntax sound familiar?
It’s a lot like the language Trump used to try to bait President Barack Obama into releasing his birth certificate in 2011, The Daily Beast pointed out, which fueled rumors that Obama was not born in the US: “Maybe that’s right, maybe that’s wrong, but I don’t know why he doesn’t he release his records,” Trump said at the time. “Why doesn’t he release [them]?”

So; listening again to Trump's extended quotes (as opposed to the two-word snippets that the press likes to report) .... much of what Trump said in these videos is true.
More illegal immigrants than ever before? check
People pouring into our country and us not knowing who and where they are? check
Foreigners laughing at us for our ridiculous immigration policies? check
Mexicans coming here with a lot of problems? check
Obama having no political record to speak of before running for President? check
Leaving war materiel for terrorists? check
Will Trump get Mexico to pay for a wall?? I guess it depends on what kind of pressure is applied. Build that wall or ... we w/draw from NAFTA? That might work.
This video is more like an ad for Trump, yanno?

I think it's time you disabused yourself of that pleasant little fairy tale about our fearless leaders being some sort of surrogate daddy or mommy, laying awake at night thinking about how to protect the kids. HA! In reality, they're thinking about who to sell them to so that they can get a few more shekels in their pockets.

Overall, Trump’s appeal may NOT be rooted in what he says he’ll do — rather it’s in the rhetoric itself.
The wall and Muslim ban, for example, are unrealistic, said Sabato of the University of Virginia, "but both these pledges got Trump airborne and still sustain him. As long as non-college, blue-collar whites like the sound of these promises, Trump will keep repeating them."
Some of Trump’s positions are actually in line with those of Clinton, such as protecting Social Security and increased skepticism toward trade.
Trump’s lack of detailed pledges and firm stances may be advantageous.
"Voters generally do not punish candidates for being vague, and in partisan elections voters actually prefer ambiguous candidates over precise ones," Stanford University political scientists Michael Tomz and Robert Van Houweling found in a study. "The reason, we find, is that ambiguity allows voters to 'see what they want to see’ in members of their own party."
Trump himself put it best in February: "Everything is negotiable."

Yanno all of the quotes that I paraphrased??? They weren't "vague promises" they were DESCRIPTIONS OF A PROBLEM.
Try reading with comprehension some time. It might help.

For your first paraphrase "More illegal immigrants than ever before? Check." Google it and you find it is not true.
As for your other paraphrases:
"People pouring into our ..."
"Foreigners laughing at us ..."
"Mexicans coming ..."
These are all true if you can find even one person "pouring" "laughing" or "coming". That makes each of your paraphrases empty of meaning. "Worthless paraphrases."
Your best paraphrase: "Obama having no political record to speak of before running for President? check" is just so untrue. Obama has 8 years in the Illinois Senate and 4 years in the US Senate. I had to look it up because I don't know his past. You could do the same, SignyM.

Today's Perfect Storm of Trivial Lies From Donald Trump
Too good to check: Sean Hannity’s tale of a Trump rescue
www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/08/11/too-good-to-che
ck-sean-hannitys-tale-of-a-trump-rescue/
This morning: a tale of (a) Trump largesse, (b) told by Sean Hannity, and (c) confirmed by the Trump campaign. Already, you know it's a lie. There are not enough Pinocchios in the world for something like this.
Not that it matters, but this particular fairy tale is about Trump sending his private jet down to Camp Lejeune in 1991 to ferry home some Gulf War soldiers whose military flight had been FUBARed. We all know perfectly well that Trump would never do something like this unless there was some kind of massive publicity tied to it, because Trump never engages in any charitable act unless there's something in it for him. So it's already about 99 percent likely to be fiction.
Sure enough, it turns out that the real story is just a demonstration of Trump's lousy business judgment—something far more common than Trump's acts of charity. When he bought the Eastern Shuttle in 1989 and turned it into the Trump Shuttle, he negotiated a terrible deal. Not only did he overpay, but he also accepted five extra planes he didn't need instead of a lower purchase price. So the Army leased the planes from him and used them for various tasks in order to free up military planes. In 1991, they were assigned to ferry troops home from Camp Lejeune.
Does this matter? I suppose not, compared to insulting a Hispanic judge, attacking a Muslim family that lost a son in Iraq, and expressing his hope that someone will murder Hillary Clinton. But it's sort of Trump in a nutshell: Take credit for a charitable act even though it's a flat-out lie that's trivially easy to fact check and debunk. He doesn't care. He knows that guys like Sean Hannity will hype it to his credulous Fox News audience, and none of them will ever read Glenn Kessler, fact-checker at the Washington Post. And if they do find out it was a lie, they won't care. Trump 2016!
I award this story 58 gazillion Pinocchios.

Donald Trump, Insisting He Won’t Change His Style, Repeats Claim Obama Founded ISIS
www.nytimes.com/2016/08/12/us/politics/donald-trump-obama-isis.html
Donald J. Trump said Thursday that he intended to stick by his unorthodox campaign style, even if it meant taking “a very, very nice long vacation” after Nov. 8.
In interviews on Thursday morning, Mr. Trump sounded an uncharacteristically fatalistic note, acknowledging the possibility he could be defeated on Election Day.
Mr. Trump pledged on CNBC to “just keep doing the same thing I’m doing right now,” adding that he was the only presidential candidate who tells things “straight” and is “a truth-teller.”
“At the end, it’s either going to work or I’m going to, you know, I’m going to have a very, very nice long vacation,” he added.
It was a rare instance in which Mr. Trump has conceded that his approach might not work.
Mr. Trump also defended his portrayal of the president as a “founder” of ISIS, despite criticism that the claim was both inaccurate and inflammatory.
In an interview with the conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Mr. Trump was given an opportunity to explain that he meant the claim only theoretically. But Mr. Trump would not budge.
“You meant that he created the vacuum, he lost the peace,” Mr. Hewitt suggested, leaving Mr. Trump an opening.
“No, I meant he’s the founder of ISIS. I do,” Mr. Trump said. “He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton.”

You know Second, I admire your tenacity and stick-to-itive-ness in trying to shed light on an absolute dullard as Donald Trump. But, I dare say, your
case is falling on deaf ears. Only sensible people will actually even get
what your saying, not Orange people with low mental capacity.
You are right, but I'm afraid there's no hope on the other side. You get an A for effort though. You, my friend, have the patience of an angel.
