    They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.

        I mean condoning the bombing of a city with 13M Americans just because some of them don’t like him seems much worse than that, but maybe that’s just me.

        This isn’t just a Trump low, all of his actions sit squarely on the shoulders of every single Republican.

          They’re okay with it. He’s just saying what they’ve been afraid to say out loud.

        I’m fairly certain the “I could shoot someone on 5th Ave” comment was foreshadowing at this point.

        And towards the end, I foresee a blatant and publicly announced wholesale of the US to the highest bidder.

        I don’t think “left war traitors” comes anywhere close to “I hope they bomb an entire fucking city full of millions of our own people because some of them don’t like me”
