Neo-Con Warmonger Donald Trump: Iranian Boats that make Improper 'Gestures' will be 'Shot out of the Water'
PENSACOLA, Fla. — In a wide-ranging speech on Friday night, Donald Trump said that as president he would shoot Iranian boats out of the water if they make improper "gestures" toward American vessels, that Hillary Clinton is so protected from having to face consequences that she could murder someone in front of 20,000 witnesses and not face prosecution and that voters need to be "very, very vigilant" on Election Day.
Ever since he installed new campaign leadership about three weeks ago, Trump has softened his tone on the campaign trail and mostly stuck to prepared rally speeches loaded onto teleprompters. That level of discipline seemed to fade during a rally in a packed arena in the Florida Panhandle on Friday night.
As Trump shared his plans to dramatically grow the "depleted military" and grow the number of Navy ships to 350, he brought up Iran, a country he has frequently said takes advantage of the United States' generosity.
"And, by the way, with Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats, and they make gestures at our people, that they shouldn't be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water," Trump said to thunderous applause. Soon the crowd began to chant: "USA! USA! USA!"
