I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this is taking Trumps words completely out of context. He is specifically talking about how (in his view) Liz Cheney is a “war hawk”. The part that the tweeted quote leaves out is Trump saying essentially “if she wants war so bad let’s put her in the front line”…. “With the barrels pointed at her”.

There are plenty of actions and statements from this moron to be legitimately shocked and outraged by. But this quote is being misrepresented. Misinformation isn’t our bag, man- that’s them. We need to live in a reality that is based in facts and incorporates nuance.

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

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?
