Hmm... That is certainly not good.
Due to the laughter Trump may have been making a joke, or playing to the crowd. If he was, it was in bad taste.
But I'll see where this goes and see if he was serious or was just saying a bunch of stuff without thinking.

You don’t joke about executing someone when you’re a sitting US president.

[quote]You don’t joke about executing someone when you’re a sitting US president.[/quote] I agree. Which is why I said that it is bad.

He was clearly thinking when he said it, no excuse for it.

[quote]He was clearly thinking when he said it, no excuse for it.[/quote] Which is why I said that it was bad. If he was thinking, it is bad. If he wasn't it still is bad.

[quote]was just saying a bunch of stuff without thinking.[/quote]A leader "joking", or just saying random things without thinking, about execution is not a leader any nation should support.

It's the bet we (republicans) made. A guy that runs his mouth and and gets good stuff done. Its not pretty, but it was the choice we faced. I don't think that the comment will break anyone's support IF it is isolated to that one comment. But if it gets worse, he will (rightfully) loose support. He will also most definitely be impeached, and I will most likely support it. I would be interested in hearing the whole meeting though. If he was joking, that's in the "bad" (to be expected) If he was serious, that's in the "really bad" (hand over the ejection button) If he pushes for it, that's "extrememly bad, sirens wailing to illegal" (eject) I'm not happy about this. I will say that what Trump said is bad.

Like Obama joking about solving the the border by putting crocs into the most to eat illegals? What he said was in bad taste and I do not approve in the least. But it's not the end of the world he made a joke. It's also possible he was referring to something else. I believe innocent before guilty.

[quote]Obama joking about solving the the border by putting crocs into the most to eat illegals[/quote]I googled this and nothing came up. So idk if this is true. In either case, these are things that no leader should be saying. "Its a joke" is not an excuse.

I'm pretty sure that the crime for treason is death.
