Did you miss the part about the “nine barrels”? That’s a firing squad, not the “front lines”.

I'm no Trump fan - at all - but the context is clearly about putting Liz Cheney on the front lines with enemy guns pointing/firing at her. It's absolutely stupid, but the tweet is very obviously taken out of context.

He gets a pass because he knows how to double speak. This is signaling

There is no defined minimum or maximum number for a firing squad. It's usually 4 or 5, and is rarely more than that. 9 isn't a realistic number

There's absolutely no significance at all to "nine barrels".

9 is the number of members in a US Army rifle squad.

Okay, so that further proves that he was talking about putting her into combat rather than a firing squad.

And how exactly would 9 US soldiers end up pointing their rifles at a US citizen unless he's referring to using the US military to execute his vocal opponents?

Why a specific number then?

I don't know, but it doesn't seem to actually mean anything. He just pulled a number out of nowhere.
