    No. Trump did not say that. Why make up lies?

    If he is no licensed doctor, why accredit anything to him at all?
    You should probably at least verify that he is qualified before giving him credit for anything.
    Good question; i reviewed the rules for this forum and cannot find anything in regards to verifying stories before posting. If you read my posting I am merely a conduit for what has been passed to the general public by the media (several media outlets have reported on this) much to the chagrin of conservative backers of President Trump. Now, normally in this forum we are not required to do stringent background checks on all articles quoted; simply citing your source is considered to be good faith posting. To assume otherwise would be nefarious and perfidious.

    Now what I would suggest is if you find a posting with a quote that you find objectionable because it has not been vetted properly or believe it to be untrue, simply state your objection to it, then move on the the next thread or feel free to simply not engage in discussion on that particular thread. No need to spend time on something you feel is false or the person being quoted is unqualified to give his or her opinion.

    I think that sounds pretty reasonable doesn't it?

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    You once posed a question to me. I run a check on every thread I start. I don't post what one person, regardless of their opinion, as fact.
    In a roundabout way, you challenged the credibility of a source by assigning the source as Brietbart. I told you that I never run with a thread unless the information was accurate.
    I challenged you on the same basis, and you attack me for questioning your source and whether or not it was accurate.
    Scaramucci is no physiatrist, retains no license of any kind, and is merely stating his opinion based on the liberal agenda. Now That is a fact.
    When I queried you to back up the claim to any extent, you took offense because you KNEW I had his statement by the short hairs and yours for posting such drivel as the truth.
    Even now, you are doubling down on it.
    And yet you wont withdraw gracefully and want to push it around some more.
    Instead you want to keep backing his statement as if it were golden.
    BTW, I want to state for a fact, that I never called you a liar. But you should check a bit deeper into a story before you drop a BS OP like you did here.

    While it's obvious that both you and I are at odds over the posting of my OP, I appreciate your sentiments and want you to know that I'll definitely take them under consideration. I do maintain my position as stated prior.

    If you want to discuss further, feel free to PM me; now lets get back on topic.

    To me, that is exactly on topic. The man makes a claim that he is not in any position to verify. I think you are being asked if you can back up his statement and if not, why post something you have no clue to its veracity?

    He never said he wouldn't be arrested. He said that if he did do something like that his base was so loyal they would VOTE for him anyway. Much like Hillary's base voting for her although she put the US at risk by using an unsecured server.

    Even Snopes clarifies what Trump meant.

    You AZJim are twisting the quote to your own ignorant ends.

    It’s true that Trump made the “shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue” remark widely attributed to him across standard and social media sites. However, the (somewhat clumsy and crass) comment also generally appeared absent of its broader context, which pertained to the loyalty of his followers, and not an actual desire, intent, or interest in shooting any individuals for the sole reason that he believed it would have no effect on his popularity.
