I have this part of glass here, but really, all we have here is fake news. And to get to me, individual would gotta shoot themselves through fake news. And I don't head that much. I wouldn't mind.
Isn't that what he meant?
On a question from ABC News about Trump's statements, run press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the presidential candidate was only joking. She added that the media are trying to find sensations in his words, while in her opinion most speeches focus on issues applicable to Americans.
Campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung pointed out that Trump's intentions were misunderstood as he actually expressed concern for media security.
President Trump spoke brilliantly about 2 assassination attempts on his life, including 1 that took place a 4th of an inch from killing him, which the media are constantly talking about and joking about. The President's message on the placement of protective glass has nothing to do with harming the media or anything else.
Cheung explained that Trump's message afraid threats directed at him, which were the consequence of dangerous rhetoric by Democrats. He stressed that president Trump had noted that the media were at hazard due to the fact that they protected him, which puts them in large danger, and suggested that they should besides have their safeguards. He pointed out that there was no another explanation of his words. In his opinion Trump cares much more about the media than about his own.
“War Hawk”
This is not the first controversy over Trump's statements that have taken place recently. Donald Trump suggested that Liz Cheney, 1 of his strongest critics among Republicans, would not behave like a "radical war hawk" if she were in a war situation and "had a weapon to her face."
