“If you’re in a parking lot, do you know what I’m talking about?”
“When you’re driving through this parking lot,” he said, “you have to be on alert for a guy who is driving with a gun.”
“You have to take your hands off the steering wheel.”
“If you have an accident, you can always call 911.”
“But there’s a lot more to the story than that.”
“There’s a guy driving a white Mercedes SUV with a gold belt, with a shotgun on the passenger side, and I mean, what the hell does that even look like?”
“He looks like he’s ready to open fire,” Chuck Todd said.
Todd: “If a man drives a Mercedes, there’s nothing stopping him from opening fire on a bunch of people.
Is that really what the president wants to be thinking?”
Trump: “What I’m saying is we’re going to do what we need to do.
We’re going, we’re gonna be strong.”
Todd: Trump: “We have to get back to the fundamentals.
We have to come up with the right strategy, we have to go for the jugular, we’ve got to go in, we want to be smart.””
What you’re talking about is that you don’t want to kill people, you want to prevent them from being killed.”
Trump: “[W]e’re not going to be able to kill a lot of people.”
Todd continued: “I have to ask you, does the president really believe this is what the American people are going to want to see in this country?
And if you say yes, then you are putting your life in danger.””
I don’t think he does,” Trump replied.”
I think he’s putting himself in danger,” Todd continued.
Trump: I don’t believe this, I don`t believe this.
I don�t believe that.
I have nothing to do with this.
“I’m not going after him.
“And I don��t think he thinks it will happen.””
The President of the United States of America is not going anywhere.””
And I don��t think he thinks it will happen.”
The President of the United States of America is not going anywhere.
“Todd noted that Trump’s response to a reporter asking whether he believes a gunman in Las Vegas is an “active shooter” was the most conciliatory of his remarks on Monday.”
We’re not talking about a guy walking in and opening fire, but a guy with a firearm, who’s on the loose,” Todd said, before pivoting to “you know, the fact that he has a gold gun on his shoulder.
That means you’re not a normal person.
“You don’t know who he is.
You don’t understand what’s going on.””
He’s a terrorist,” Todd concluded.
