But the full quote from Trump which I will present below in both text and video form was edited short for some reason by the networks during playback, and gives a pretty revealing take on his intention. Namely, the phrase, But Ill tell you what, that will be a horrible day, is in direct reference to what many have assumed that he made a joke about someone shooting Hillary Clinton.

He was, I believe, saying exactly what you noticed, and yes, it was horrifying and sick to hear the GOP nominee say that, but he added on some choice words to save himself and then just denied he meant what everyone there felt he was saying.

She should win in a landslide, but I pray she will be safe from his minions he's programming with hate!
