Donald Trump May Have Just Called For Hillary Clinton Assassination
There are jokes, and then there"s the stuff that comes out of Donald Trump"s mouth.
As you"re probably aware from having been alive for the past 14 months, Trump"s presidential campaign has been plagued from the start by gaffes and fallout from the candidate"s often bizarre attempts at humor.
Many believe that the real estate mogul"s "jokes" have veered into criminal territory in recent weeks, such as when Trump suggested that he hopes Vladimir Putin was able to hack into Hillary Clinton"s email server.
Now, Team Trump is once again scrambling to justify a shocking off-the-cuff remark about Clinton, and this time it"s being widely interpreted as a veiled, violent threat.
After claiming that Clinton seeks to "abolish" the Second Amendment (The former secretary of state has repeatedly insisted that she has no intention of doing so.), Trump went on to suggest that his anti-gun control supporters may be able to forcibly "stop" Clinton:
"If she gets to pick her judges – nothing you can do, folks," Trump told his crowd.
"Although, the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don"t know."
For obvious reasons, many have taken the comment as Trump"s suggestion that gun owners should use force – and firearms, if necessary – to prevent Clinton from taking office.
Not surprisingly, the Trump campaign quickly issued a statement explaining that the remark had been misinterpreted by the media:
“It’s called the power of unification—2nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power,” Trump senior aide Jason Miller said in a statement sent out shortly after the rally.
“And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump.”
This latest controversy comes on the heels of a week that"s been rife with PR debacles for Trump.
While most have been fairly minor (the 70-year-old former reality star kicked a baby out of a campaign rally and accepted a Purple Heart medal offered to him by a wounded war veteran), the impact on Trump"s popularity has been considerable.
Right-leaning media outlets have attempted to distract from Trump"s hellish week by raising (thus far unfounded) concerns about Hillary Clinton"s health, but it doesn"t look as though they"ve been successful.
Clinton now leads Trump by a double-digit margin both nationally and in key battleground states.

Farrah Abraham: Not Addicted To Plastic Surgery...Anymore!
We’ve had the pleasure of learning so much about Farrah Abraham lately, more than we had ever bargained for.
Abraham went on the Allegedly podcast to promote season six of Teen Mom OG (premiering August 22nd), and no topic was off-limits. Not her nightly rate, not her plastic surgery, and certainly not her policy on makeup in elementary schools.
Abraham’s features have (for lack of a better word) changed over the years. In 2015 she even appeared on an episode of Botched after some sketchy lip injections left her in quite a state.
Now, Abraham assured her audience, all is well.
“I took a chin implant out, I’ve dialed down on the injections because I thought it was too much,” she explained.
“It was a lot of stuff, like whoa, plastic surgery turns out to be a lot more than you bargained for. But I’m not addicted to anything.
“The only things that I had to fix were breasts, because I was getting serious scarring, I felt like I was having a heart attack multiple nights in a row, so I had to change up my regimen.”
Right. Anyway, she’s as natural as she every going to be, so we might as well get used to it.
As for how she raises her daughter, Sophia and how much bronzer she’s allowed to apply, that’s Abraham’s damn business.
So, when the call from Sophia’s elementary school came in that makeup wasn’t allowed, Abraham marched down to the principal’s office to defend her daughter’s right to contour.
“You know, when your kids are 5 or 6 they already start playing with makeup,” Abraham said.
“And I was the only mother in freakin’ elementary school getting called in to deal with makeup on her daughter.”
Abraham dealt with the principal the only way she knew how, by treating the administrator like her own mother, Debbo.
“So I said to them – and I proved my point because then the principal switched schools – I go, ‘Well then you should take off your makeup. If you don’t want little girls coming to school with makeup then don’t wear makeup,"” Abraham recalled.
“And then ever since I’ve seen that principal she hasn’t had makeup on her face.”
Slow claps for Abraham and her ace parenting techniques.
