Trump says Liz Cheney should be 'shot in the face' by nine guns in sickening fantasy

Donald Trump has caused controversy by suggesting Liz Cheney should have 'guns trained on her face' in an alarming firing squad fantasy.

Donald Trump concoted a sick fantasy about shooting Liz Cheney (Image: Getty)
Donald Trump has been slammed for saying Liz Cheney 'should be shot at by nine guns' in a sickening fantasy execution.
The 78-year-old, who is recovering from struggling to open a truck door and claimed the Dems want to get rid of "windows and cows," was speaking at a hurricane relief benefit event in Arizona when he made the vile remark.
Speaking to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Trump said the daughter of former Republican VP Dick Cheney should have "guns trained on her face" due to her support for Kamala Harris.

Looks like Trump has won.

Sadly we knew that at least a week ago, the election results just confirm it.

Just hope democracy survives him.

Bring it on Donald, ha, ha, ha, ha. Let’s get this party started and now all those crooked, twisted individuals and groups will get the comeuppance they deserve, including jail time for the Biden’s. Great results for the USA, the UK and the wider world. A proper leader in charge again. Best part of the night those Harris supporters trudging away when Kamala boo Hoo declined to come and at least speak to them. That alone just shows the woman she is. Still they seemed to enjoy their dancing and singing until reality dawned. Anyway I know you guys will be celebrating so I won’t make this too long. 🥳

Well you got what you wished for...


...but I don't believe you were very careful at all in wishing for it.

There should be an age limit on people becoming a president.

The flaw in the system of democracies is that no one imagined a 'bad' person would ever get to the top job.

In America there is no restraint to the Presidents power (particularly if he 'controls' the Supreme Court through political appointments).

Brainless morons like 63 might be cheering now but the world has just become a less safe and free place to be.

Just read this analysis...

When he first came into power in 2016, he was a political outsider, and, at least for a while, he surrounded himself with veteran political advisers and staff who showed him the ropes and constrained his actions. Now he doesn’t seem that interested in playing by the rules of the game.

Many of these same advisers and staff have spoken out – calling him a “liar”, a “fascist” and “unfit”. They have cautioned that if he surrounds himself with loyalists, which he is expected to do, that there will be no one to restrain him from his more extreme ideas.

When he left office, he faced a litany of criminal charges related to his role in the Capitol riots, how he handled documents pertaining to national security, and hush money payments to a porn star.

But since the Supreme Court ruled that the president has total immunity from prosecution for official acts in office, it will be an uphill battle for any prosecutor to charge him during the next administration.

And as president, he could instruct his justice department to drop the federal charges against him relating to the 6 January riots so he doesn’t have to worry about a jail sentence. At the same time, he could pardon hundreds of people sentenced to prison for their part in the Capitol Riots.

In the end, voters were presented with two versions of America.

Donald Trump told them that their country was a failing nation that only he could Make Great Again.

Meanwhile, Harris cautioned that if Trump was elected, American democracy itself would face an existential threat. That remains to be seen. But what Trump said himself during the campaign has not exactly assuaged people’s fears.

He has heaped praise on authoritarian leaders like Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, whom he said were “at the top of their game, whether you like it or not”.

He has talked about trying to silence critics in the press. Just days before the election, he also made comments that implied he wouldn’t mind if members of the media were killed.

And he has continued to amplify conspiracy theories and unfounded claims of election fraud – even though the election ultimately led to his victory.

Now, voters will find how much of what he said during the campaign was just loose talk - “Trump being Trump”. And remember: it’s not just Americans who have to confront the reality of a second Trump term.

The rest of the world will now discover what “America First” really means. From the global economic consequences of 20% tariffs that he has proposed on US imports to the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East that he has vowed to end – regardless of which side wins.

Donald Trump did not manage to implement all of his plans in his first term. Now with a second mandate and significantly less encumbered, America, and the world, will see what he can really do.

Seriously guys, this is a great result for the world and let’s see how quickly Donald sorts out the Russia and Ukraine situation, let alone the mess in the Middle East. Biggest mistake the Democrats made was allowing an obviously unfit Biden to continue in the race which forced a totally unsuitable Harris to run. Let’s face it if they’d moved Sleepy Joe out to pasture and allowed a proper and acceptable candidate to be chosen they would have done a lot better. That said the vote was so big for Donald that I don’t think whoever had stood would have changed anything. Closer to home it’ll be fun to see how Labour deal with this after their ridiculous and childish insults of Trump over the years. I’m looking forward to seeing both a war on woke in the US which will sadly not be replicated here and also a common sense approach taken towards net zero. I know we won’t agree on many issues but it will be interesting to see how much this result affects so many areas.

The stats are showing that Trump's victory was on the back of uneducated white males aged 45 and over.

The same groups who voted for Brexit.
