Trump’s riff the other night — that if Hillary doesn’t like guns, then her Secret Service detail should be disarmed — was a standard gun-rights talking point, but the media and Democrats are making it out as a threat. I’m not sure what the theory is supposed to be — that Trump was trying to incite the Secret Service to drop its weapons and leave Hillary unprotected? Obviously that would never happen. That said, Trump’s campaign would do well to schedule Trump’s rallies during the day, since it is during the night-time rallies — such as this one in Miami — that he tends to wander most extravagantly off script.
