Trump wants to hit Democrats
Donald Trump, after hearing speeches at the Democratic convention this week, said Thursday he wanted to ‘hit a number of those speakers so hard, their heads would spin.’
‘They’d never recover,’ he said.Trump often uses the term hit to mean verbally attack, rather than physical contact.
The Republican nominee zoomed in on one speaker especially, though he didn`t mention his name.
I was going to hit one guy in particular, a very little guy, Trump said to laughs at a campaign rally in Davenport, Iowa. I was going to hit this guy so hard his head would spin, he wouldn`t know what the hell happened.
Trump said this individual came out of nowhere and had done work with Trump in the past. He made deals with me. Will you help me with this? Would you make this deal and solve the problem? I solved the problem, Trump said.
His campaign did not respond to a request asking to clarify who Trump was talking about.
Several speakers this week have gone after Trump in Philadelphia, including Michael Bloomberg.
The former New York City mayor made a surprise endorsement over the weekend for Hillary Clinton, and described Trump in his DNC speech Wednesday night as a dangerous demagogue.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine also targeted Trump, mocking the businessman’s tendency to accentuate his promises with a plea of believe me.
Ultimately, he said, he conceded and decided not to launch into verbal assaults against the Democrats.
But every once in a while I still wake up, I say boy, I wanna, Trump said, growling as he stopped himself from saying more. Someday!
