It's exactly the kind of thing you'd expect from Trump.
Former President Donald Trump provided the hottest take on Alec Baldwin shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
"In my opinion, he had something to do with it, but if nothing else, how do you take a gun, whether it's loaded or not loaded, how do you take a gun, point it at somebody that's not even in the movie, and just point it at this person and pull the trigger, and now she's dead," Trump said on Chris Stigall's radio show on Thursday.
So, "he had something to do with it" sounds like Trump thinks Baldwin did it on purpose. One might ask: "How would Trump know that Baldwin had something to do with it?"
"Even if it was loaded, and, you know, that's a weird thing, maybe he loaded it," he said. "Who would put a gun, 'Here, Alec, here's your gun,' 'Oh, good,' lift it up, point it at a person, and pull the trigger, and, 'Oh, man, a bullet came out,' she's dead. So there's something wrong with him, he's a sick guy."
Here's what seems to be Trump's attempt at justifying these claims:
"I've watched him for years," Trump said. "He gets into fistfights with reporters. I mean, everything he does, he's a volatile guy. He's a nutjob."
"If they handed me a gun, I would never point it at somebody and shoot it, you know. I don't care about checking the gun. They hand you a gun you're not going to point it at somebody."
"This was really a cinematographer, so it's not even like an actress that's on set with you, this was a cinematographer, so that means he took the gun and pointed it at a cinematographer, pulled the trigger and she was dead."
Trump also commented on Baldwin's impersonations of him on Saturday Night Live. He also admitted he doesn't "actually know [Baldwin]."
"[Baldwin] did, I thought, a poor job of imitating me," Trump said on Thursday. "Alec Baldwin was terrible at imitating me and by the way, if I thought he was good and I didn't like his politics or I didn't like him, I would have said he was good but he was terrible. I don't actually know him, but I've watched him over the years because of the fact that he did this so much on Saturday Night Live."
