To the Editor:
Re “‘See What Happens’ to Clinton if Guards Disarm, Trump Says” (front page, Sept. 17):
Donald Trump’s suggestion to disarm Hillary Clinton’s Secret Service agents, like his comment that “Second Amendment people” could solve the problem of her judiciary appointments, will be discounted by Mr. Trump and his advisers as misunderstandings of his intent.
How many times has he said the people and the press have misunderstood his inflammatory remarks? Taking him at his word on that, is it wise to have a president who is so consistently misunderstood—who almost daily inflames passions without meaning to? Aren’t international relations a little too sensitive for that kind of carelessness?

Note from KBJ: Progressives (a.k.a. jackasses) put the worst possible spin on everything Donald Trump says. Instead of getting the benefit of the doubt, he gets the detriment of the doubt. What progressives don't realize is that the American people now understand what they're doing. Isn't it obvious what Trump was saying? He was saying that Hillary Clinton is a hypocrite. She wants to take guns away from law-abiding citizens, but insists on having guns all around her to protect her. Let them eat cake!
