That website is very unreputable and goes way over the top in attacking Trump. I read the linked articles and watched the relevant videos, and here's what I found:
The context of the Liz Cheney quote was about her being a "war hawk" and wanting to stay in Iraq longer. Basically, he ranted about bureaucrats acting all tough because they want to go to war, but they would act very differently if they were the ones in a warzone. So the "guns trained on her face" would presumably be a firing line (i.e. if she's captured as POW and executed, or tried and executed for war crimes), and his point was that she doesn't consider the consequences for wanting to go to war in the Middle East.
That said, screw Trump. I have never voted for him, and I have already submitted my ballot this year and again did not vote for that clown. But this website has terrible spin and you shouldn't trust anything it says because it takes things way out of proportion and doesn't even link/host the original content. Look for yourselves, the actual content is taken way out of context here.
In regards to the windows.

Got any more context? Anything can be made to sound insane in a <30s clip. Since Trump rambles, I'd probably need about 10 min before and after.
Wish I did. Context is important and agree it should be shared. I just happened to had these clips saved so I shared them.
And I appreciate that. In many cases, even short clips are misquoted, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I'm still very hesitant to take it at face value without more context.
