Trump says he doesn’t ‘mind’ if someone has to ‘shoot through’ the media

The comment, which drew laughter from the crowd, was one of several broadsides Trump launched against the press in his rally here. President Trump was brilliantly talking about the two assassination attempts on his own life, including one that came within 1/4 of an inch from killing him, something that the Media constantly talks and jokes about,” Cheung said. “The President’s statement about protective glass placement has nothing to do with the Media being harmed, or anything else.” Cheung claimed that the former president was really implying the media was in danger and “should have had a glass protective shield, also.” But his remarks Sunday came as Trump has been escalating both his attacks on the press and his use of violent rhetoric in the closing days of his third presidential campaign. The former president last week suggested Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney, who is supporting his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, should “face nine barrels shooting at her” in an apparent attack on her hawkish views. Trump also said during his speech that he should “never have left” the White House following his loss to President Joe Biden in 2020, continuing his false claim that he won that race.
