Trump Ramps Up Violent Rhetoric: To Get Me, Somebody Would Have to Shoot Through the Fake News, and I Don't Mind That'
Briefly

Donald Trump, in a recent rally, expressed disdain for the media, humorously suggesting that anyone trying to harm him would have to shoot through the 'fake news', while reflecting on his past assassination attempts. He laughed with the crowd about his speaking style, claiming it's 'brilliant' and that the media fails to grasp his intelligence, labeling them as 'failed writers'.
Referring to his protective measures, Trump joked, 'I have this piece of glass here, but all we have really over here is the fake news, right?', highlighting the conflict he sees between himself and the media, as well as playing on humor to engage his audience.
Trump defended his speaking style, saying, 'It's a weave, you go and then you're here, and then? What happens is, while you're here, there's a point having to do with that point.' He asserted that the media simply lacks the skill to report on his 'complex' methods of communication.
Trump's Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung clarified afterward that Trump's comments were taken out of context, stating that his remarks about the protective glass were not meant to suggest any harm towards the media but were focused on his personal safety.
