Donald Trump: Clinton could "shoot somebody" and not get …
PENSACOLA, Fla.--There may have been teleprompters, but the Donald Trump that took the stage hereon Fridaynight was a familiar one --unvarnished and unfiltered in front of a screaming horde of thousands. He spoke for almost an hour in a speech filled with his colorful malapropisms. He used the prompter as more of a suggestion than a strict road map for his verbiage.

With less than two months until Election Day, the presidential candidates have shifted their attention to foreign policy. Hillary Clinton used he...
After promising to bolster the United States missile defense system, Trump had a message for Iran, bringing to bear the machismo that his supporters have come to know and love.
When they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats and they make gestures at our people that they shouldnt be allowed to make, Trump said, they will be shot out of the water. OK? Believe me.
The crowd did believe him and cheered accordingly.
He referred to his opponent for the White House, Hillary Clinton, as trigger-happy multiple times and also said, Personally, I think shes an unstable person. OK?
There was more. A lotmore.
She could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching right smack in the middle of the heart and she wouldnt be prosecuted, OK? Thats whats happened, Trump said.
Trump has made a similar outsizedclaim in a previous rally -- except it was usedto describe himself. In Iowa last winter, Trump said that he could go out on Fifth Avenue in New York City, shoot somebody and not lose any support.

Donald Trump spoke to a gathering of social and religious conservatives Friday in Washington, DC. During the address, the Republican presidential...
The GOP nominee has run a relentless schedule of late but didnt show any sign of wear atFridaynights rally. He started the day in Washington at the Values Voter Summit. There, he told the Christian Broadcasting Networks David Brody that this election would be the last election if he didnt become president.
I think this will be the last election if I dont win, Trump said. I think this will be the last election that the Republicans have a chance of winning because youre gonna have people flowing across the borders. Youre gonna have illegal immigrants coming in, and theyre gonna be legalized,and theyre gonna be able to vote. And once that all happens, you can forget it.
In that same interview, Trump said he was the last hope for a Republican to win the White House ever again.
The exaggerations and Trump-speak carried on to Pensacola, Florida.
And by the way, were going to make education so good. You have to just take a look. And Common Core --boom! --out, Trump said.
There wasthe Trump classic (Youre gonna get so tired of winning.) and then there was a reference to nuclear warming.
Then [Clinton] gave up 20 percent of U.S. uranium to Russia, Trump said. You know what that means, right? In other word, nuclear, right? While those who benefited from the deal gave massive amounts of money to the Clintons. They get a 20 percent of the uranium! Uranium is big, big stuff because it means the ultimate. The ultimate is called nuclear. Not global warming. Its called nuclear warming. OK?
When Trump talked about his resistance to allowing Syrian refugees into the country, Trumpsaid:They wont talk about the Trojan horse in 500 years ago.Theyll be talking about what happened in the United States.

Donald Trump heaped praise on Russian president Vladimir Putin during a national security forum Wednesday night. Hillary Clinton and Speaker of t...
He brought up Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying, Honestly, I dont know the gentleman, but you know what? Hes been nice to me. If hes nice to me, thats fine. Not gonna make a bit of difference. If we dont get great deals for our country, nothing matters to me. Its all about getting great deals.
Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, have come under fire in recent days for lauding Putin, a foreign leader who has seemingly delighted in antagonizing the United States. Trump also said that Russia and China would pillage the United States if Clinton was elected.
The bravado was on full display as another campaign week came to an end. Trump said that he would go to countries that we defend, some NATO countries and other major, major countries to ask them to up the ante.
And were gonna ask them in a very polite way,and Im sure theyll say absolutelybecause they cant believe what they are getting away with. OK? Trump said.
The billionaire received a boost this week as polls, both nationally and in swing states, started to tighten. He also received the support of a number of military figures earlier this week. But Trump seemed surprised by how high the number was.
I am proud to have the support of the retired generals and admirals who know how to win, Trump said. Andon Monday, were going to have 88 --88! --generals and admirals. I didnt even know there were that many. I figured [it] wouldnt be that many.On Monday, were getting 22 more!
He was in rare form. He seemed more akin to the fiery, unfiltered candidate that rose to the top of the Republican field in the primaries. Weeks of discipline -- discipline for Trump, anyways -- gave way to one night Trump being Trump.
The crowd stood and roared,and Trump hit the ropeline, telling at least one cameraman to make sure he shot his good side.
