Trump on the Iranian People: ‘They Want to Protest, but They Don’t Have Any Guns’

‘You could have 200,000 people protesting, and have 5 or 6 sick people with guns, and when they start shooting them right between the eyes’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Well, I don’t want to say that, but yeah, I mean, people say, why aren’t they protesting? They want to protest, but they don’t have any guns. So you could have 200,000 people protesting and have five or six sick people with guns, and when they start shooting them right between the eyes and you see a guy fall and another one fall and you have no guns. Very few people would be able to stand there and do it. I mean, I understand. I tell them not to. Don’t forget, they killed 42,000 people last month, 42,000 unarmed protesters and they had no guns. So they had a 250,000 people crowd and they had snipers. They had, like, four or five snipers in buildings up high.”
