Trump says “I don’t mind” if someone had to ****** through media

Lititz, Pennsylvania — Former President Donald Trump said during a rally on Sunday that he wouldn’t mind if someone tried to ****** through the media riser to ************ him while he was complaining that the bulletproof glass positioned around him was “ridiculous.”

“I have a piece of glass over here, and I don’t have a piece of glass there. And I have this piece of glass here, but all we have really over here is the fake news,” Trump said, pointing to the glass positioned between him and the head-on riser where the press was located. “And to get me somebody would have to ****** through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much. I don’t mind that.”

He repeatedly mocked the media and reporters throughout the rally, calling the media “bloodsuckers.” 

Trump’s comments came as he was talking about the bulletproof glass surrounding him at his outdoor rallies, a measure that was implemented after the ************** attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. A bullet grazed Trump’s ear at the Butler rally, and an audience member was *******. Secret Service snipers ******* the shooter. Two months after the Butler *********, another man was arrested with a **** and charged with attempting to ************ Trump, this time at his golf course in Florida.

“The problem is, when you watch me tonight, you’ll say, ‘the President doesn’t look that good.’ Well, how the ***** do you look good? Look at the size of this *******,” Trump said, while going to survey the thickness of the glass. 

Trump later said that there may be a ******* in the field, harkening back to his first ************** attempt, and commented that his supporters would be his glass. 

“Glass here. There’s nothing over there. They’re my glass. See? Those people are my glass,” Trump said, pointing to the crowd. 

In a statement, Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesman, said in a statement afterward that Trump was trying to protect the media.
