Patti Davis, the daughter of President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan, slammed Trump in a Facebook post overnight, criticizing the GOP presidential nominee for comments many saw as a hint at Hillary Clinton's assassination. To Donald Trump: I am the daughter of a man who was shot by someone who got his inspiration from a movie, someone who believed if he killed the President the actress from that movie would notice him. Your glib and horrifying comment about "Second Amendment people" was heard around the world. It was heard by sane and decent people who shudder at your fondness for verbal violence. It was heard by your supporters, many of whom gleefully and angrily yell, "Lock her up!" at your rallies. It was heard by the person sitting alone in a room, locked in his own dark fantasies, who sees unbridled violence as a way to make his mark in the world, and is just looking for ideas. Yes, Mr. Trump, words matter. But then you know that, which makes this all even more horrifying.
well said, Patti!

He cares about no one....until the day that it may affect him or his family...pretty sad....ugly soul

his MO is that he says something awful then says, oh I didn't mean it. And maybe he really didn't. But a president needs to weigh his (her) words and think about the impact they will have--not just on that audience in front of them, but world wide. I don't think he's capable

This is so excellent. I am glad she wrote this and put it out there.
