Ten months after the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie “Rust,” Alec Baldwin is still trying to make himself the victim.

“As bad as it may have been kept, meaning, you know, the people that take care of the equipment and the guns and everything else — but even if it was loaded, and that’s a weird thing — maybe he loaded it,” Trump said.
“He’s a cuckoo-bird. He’s a nutjob. And usually, when there’s somebody like that, you know,…
