This being a joke or not, as someone who has attended dozens of Trump's rallies — including the assassination attempt in Butler, PA — and has been personally threatened repeatedly, I sincerely hope no one attempts to act on this.

Trump in PA says he wouldn’t mind if somebody were to “shoot through the fake news” if they were trying “to get to me” "But all we have really over here is the fake news, right. And to get me somebody would have to shoot through the fake news and I don’t mind that so much"

No one is eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. David Muir fact checks Trump. Trump doubles down on the lie.

An hour into this presidential debate, Kamala Harris has gotten thoroughly under his skin. You can tell on Donald Trump's face. "Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people… and clearly he’s having a very difficult time processing that." "World leaders… are laughing at you."

You absolutely CANNOT make it up that Trump said immigrants are eating pets you just cannot. The former president of the United States. "They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats.” (There are no credible reports of this happening per local police)

Trump claims immigrants are harming and eating animals in Springfield, Ohio. FACT CHECK: Authorities -- including the Springfield city manager -- say that is not true and that there is no evidence Haitian immigrants in the city are harming animals.

The children of Anna and Artem Dultsev, the Russian deep cover spies returned home as part of the prisoner exchange, didn’t know they were Russian until their plane took off for Moscow for the swap, the Kremlin says. They don’t speak Russian, so Putin greeted them in Spanish.
