It means that, like any true authoritarian, Trump views the right to a trial by jury to be unnecessary.
A sentiment like that coming from the President should be unsettling for obvious reasons.

The headline is an accurate representation of what is said in the article. It also provides some additional context by adding Sanders' statements.
Enlighten us then, where do you see any issue with this article?
If that's not what Trump meant, then maybe he should think a bit more before he opens his moutth. He's the president, not some random guy on the street. Words (should) matter.

The video of the event is right there in the article. The addition of SHS' comments also provide the context of the event he was commenting on as if that wasn't obvious.
Did you actually read the article and watch the video or only read the headline?
It is quite literally right there for anyone with a functioning brain to read.

Imma snatch a page from NH book:
What the headline says is true. It's barely clickbait since it's exactly what Trump said.

HILLARY CLINTON ROBBED BERNIE SANDERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION, ACCORDING TO DONNA BRAZILE

Hillary Clinton’s campaign took over the Democratic National Committee's funding and day-to-day operations early in the primary season and may have used that power to undermine her rival Senator Bernie Sanders, according to the party's one-time interim chairwoman.
The DNC official, Donna Brazile, now a political analyst, wrote in Politico Magazine on Thursday that she discovered an August 2015 agreement between the national committee and Clinton’s campaign and fundraising arm that gave Clinton “control (of) the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised” in exchange for taking care of the massive debt leftover from President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign.
It wasn't illegal, Brazile said, "but it sure looked unethical.

What is the idea? The reason most people think the gun control stuff is dumb after an attack is because there's no way to say that it would have prevented it. Murder is already illegal, but a murderer would adhere to gun laws?

Relitigating what happened to under funded state parties is good. The DNC main problem was not an rigged primary, it was fair. It was the DNC not properly funding down ticket races properly, which has costed them dearly.
-Brazile is looking like a clown already btw, Nate Silver pointed out that she used DNC to help boost Hillary's popular vote numbers. In fear Trump would win the popular vote but lose by electoral college vote.
The DNC has not been ran by someone with sense since Howard Dean.

Donna Brazile Says Clinton Campaign Took Over The DNC
The former interim DNC chair writes that she “followed the money” to find a “shocking truth.”
By Paige Lavender
Donna Brazile, former interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, opened up about the financial chaos within the DNC and said that Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign gained control of the committee well before Clinton was the party’s nominee.
Politico featured an excerpt from Brazile’s book Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns that Put Donald Trump in the White House, which comes out Nov. 7. In it, Brazile describes finding out that the Clinton campaign was keeping the DNC financially afloat, “for which [Clinton] expected to wield control of its operations,” Brazile writes.

Brazile says she was in the dark about the committee’s financial situation when she took over as interim chair. She writes that Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), the previous chair, “hadn’t been very interested in controlling the party.”
Brazile said Wasserman Schultz had allowed the DNC’s spending to get out of control before striking a deal with Clinton’s campaign “to sustain the DNC,” in the words of the Clinton campaign’s chief financial officer, Gary Gensler.
The excerpt concludes with Brazile’s phone call to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Clinton’s Democratic opponent in 2016, during which Brazile tells Sanders that Clinton’s campaign had taken power over the DNC’s finances long before Clinton defeated him.
“When I hung up the call to Bernie, I started to cry, not out of guilt, but out of anger,” Brazile writes. “We would go forward. We had to.”
Brazile has spoken about her displeasure with the DNC before, saying she “knew things were amiss” when she stepped in as interim chair.
Brazile resigned as a CNN contributor in late Oct. 2016 after WikiLeaks released an email showing that she’d received advance questions before a town hall event and gave them to Clinton’s campaign. Brazile later called that move “a mistake I will forever regret.”
Representatives for Clinton, Sanders, Wasserman Schultz and former President Barack Obama did not immediately reply to HuffPost’s request for comment.
