DawgTalkers.net Forums Thread Like Summary - Did Trump say he would use military against opponents?

Why did my other thread get deleted, I wonder? Well, SOMEONE (I wont say who) claimed in the other thread that seems to have been deleted that Trump said he would use the military and National guard against his opponents. Let's see what was actually said, along with context. Please note bolded underlined portions, which we will discuss.

BARTIROMO: I'm just wondering if these outside agitators will start up on Election Day. Let's say you win, I mean let's remember, you've got 50,000 Chinese nationals in this country in the last couple of years, you have people on the terrorist watchlist, 350 in the last couple of years. You've got — like you said — 13,000 murderers and 15,000 rapists. What are you expecting? Joe Biden said he doesn't think it's going to be a peaceful Election Day.

TRUMP: Well, he doesn't have any idea what's happening in all fairness. He spends most of his day sleeping. I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within, not even the people that have come and… and destroying our country and, by the way, totally destroying our country. The towns and villages, they're being inundated. But I don't think they're the problem in terms of Election Day. I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical-left lunatics. And I think… and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or if really necessary by the military, because they can't let that happen.

The question is IMPORTANT context. (CAPS for emphasis) Notice a few things here.

a. The question was about agitators, not opponents.
b. The question was about election day Trump will not have the power to use military or national guard on election day
c. There was a mention of it possibly not being a peaceful election day, so contextually the question is asking about if Trump expects violent agitators or not.
d. Trump never said "go after" or "round up" opponents.
e. In fact, the word Opponent is is not in the text.

So Kamala lied again. 100 pinochios for her.[/u][u]

Time to face the day.

And for years you're one of the people pretending he didn't say those things. Speaking of a waste of time.....

I'm just glad I haven't had to go through the lengths of posting a gazillion times or spamming the entire board with Twitter posts trying (and failing) to twist and grasp at straws in defense of a completely horrible candidate, like Trump, who cares nothing about anyone but himself. I thought we were supposed to be the emblem of divergence away from a monarchy, but I guess we've come full circle, for half the country at least.

It is, but pretty much par for the course.

Says the guy who puts people on ignore and then has no idea what their response is. Some would call that gutless. Including me.
