Trump Laughs and Jokes After Rally Attendee Suggests Shooting Migrants

At a campaign rally in Panama City Beach, Florida, President Trump asked the crowd how to stop migrants at the border, noting that agents cannot use weapons. A supporter shouted 'Shoot them!' Trump paused, smiled, and responded, 'That's only in the Panhandle you can get away with that statement,' as the audience cheered and laughed. The remark, which did not condemn the call for violence, drew widespread criticism for tacitly encouraging extrajudicial violence against asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants, particularly amid reports of armed militia groups detaining migrants.
