Donald Trump said "sling and arrows" just to avoid the apocalyptic word "bow"?

Revelation 6:1-4 King James Version (KJV)
6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

It's a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet — "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" (look it up). Absolutely nothing to do with the Apocalypse.

I'm far more concerned that he seems unable to say the words "white supremacism" and "Nazism" in relation to what's happening in Charlottesville at the moment.

The Trump is not properly elected yet: the Russia investigation is not finished. So, do not be in concern what a business-man does.

It is the absurd expression, but it has some hidden meaning. "slings and arrows" and not "stones and arrows"

"The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? "To suffer" means "to do nothing," which is what the man of virtue was supposed to do when seized by the lust for revenge."

Hamlet...

No. Trump just not very smart. Is well known fact he speak at very low level. Here is example from AP interview. Is just big spew of words without meaning:

TRUMP: Number One, there's great responsibility. When it came time to, as an example, send out the 59 missiles, the Tomahawks in Syria. I'm saying to myself, "You know, this is more than just like, 79 (sic) missiles. This is death that's involved," because people could have been killed. This is risk that's involved, because if the missile goes off and goes in a city or goes in a civilian area — you know, the boats were hundreds of miles away — and if this missile goes off and lands in the middle of a town or a hamlet .... every decision is much harder than you'd normally make. (unintelligible) ... This is involving death and life and so many things. ... So it's far more responsibility. (unintelligible) ....The financial cost of everything is so massive, every agency. This is thousands of times bigger, the United States, than the biggest company in the world. The second-largest company in the world is the Defense Department. The third-largest company in the world is Social Security. The fourth-largest — you know, you go down the list…It's massive. And every agency is, like, bigger than any company. So you know, I really just see the bigness of it all, but also the responsibility. And the human responsibility. You know, the human life that's involved in some of the decisions.
