Summary

At a North Carolina rally, Donald Trump used aggressive language, questioning if he was “allowed to hit” Michelle Obama after her recent criticism of his values and policies.

Though Trump spoke metaphorically, his comments drew backlash, with analysts calling the remark in poor taste. Trump recounted an imaginary conversation with his staff advising him to tone down his rhetoric, prompting cheers from supporters urging him to “hit back.”

The statement, shared widely on social media, has raised concerns about its impact on the gender gap and support among conservative women voters.

    Would be wild to watch Michelle’s Secret Service detail beat up Donald’s Secret Service detail.

      It’d probably be more like:

      Michelle’s detail: “Can’t you just tell him to sit down?”
      Donald’s detail: “yeah don’t worry about it. we’re used to it by now, skinny Jonas over there can hold him in a seat one handed, just put a big Mac on the table and he’ll forget all about this in like 30 seconds”

      I suspect both details would detain him. Like, you have to be an idiot to bring any secret service to attack someone protected by the secret service. It’s on par with attempting to counterfeit around them

      Even better is the fact that Trump’s Secret Service detail would likely be… shall we say “less than motivated” to protect their charge

        I don’t know about that. Remember that the Secret Service “lost” all their text messages from Jan 6th.

        Would be nice to think so, but apparently they’re Trumpers.

        So a friend works in a building in DC that also has some USSS offices. They said that a lot of them are Trumpers. I had the same thought as you when the news came out years ago that he had bankrupted their budget. Friend said no, they still love him.
