Trump Laughs and Jokes as a Supporter Suggests Shooting Migrants
----------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump traveled to Panama City Beach in Florida's panhandle
Wednesday for a campaign rally, where he laughed in approval when an
audience member shouted that migrants crossing into the United States
should be shot. The interaction came as Trump was praising border
security workers.

President Donald Trump: "We don't let them and we can't let them use
weapons. We can't. Other countries do. We can't. I would never do that.
But how do you stop these people?"

Rally Participant: "Shoot them!"

President Donald Trump: "That's only in the Panhandle you can get away
with that statement."

President Trump's laughter and joke came after the audience member
shouted "shoot them!"
