"I'd like to punch him in the face."
"Knock the crap out of them."
"Maybe he should have been roughed up."
"Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it."

The President of the United States should be neutral and try and help fix the problem not create the problem and then fan it was gasoline, but alas, he's not president in my eyes but a thug, criminal and racist.
Get him out.
And vote!

(63,923 posts)he has had it in for her, he has bullied her before. Not right at all.
He's a fucking p grabber and wife beater, throw his ass in jail. Creepy republicans they can go down with him too, cowards hiding out and not saying anything they are career politicians and worried about their asses in November. They can go down in flames they haven't done one thing to help the American people. They are forgetting why they are there in the Congress. I hope they choke on that blood money.

(4,878 posts)Here's the quote: If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks, Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: Although the Second Amendment people maybe there is, I dont know.

(86,005 posts)...he's inciting the violence, instead of directly perpetrating it, himself.
Knowing the violent state of some of his rabid support base, this is a premeditated assault, especially given the threats he's already generated against Rep. Waters.
Why hasn't the SS or the FBI warned him about this?.
