Those who entered the venue were treated to a pleasant female voice booming out instructions to protestors and a creepy warning.
While we all have the rights to free speech, this is a private event paid for and hosted by Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., and you came to hear the president, said the voice. To accommodate the right to free speech and peaceful assembly, while ensuring an orderly rally, we have provided a secure area outside the venue for all protesters, and we ask anyone wishing to demonstrate to please exit to that secure area.
Despite this accommodation, some individuals may still seek to disrupt our patriotic event, and President Trump needs your help in maintaining a peaceful atmosphere at all times, the voice continued. If a protest starts near you, please do not in any way touch or harm a protester. Please notify law enforcement officers of the location of the protester by holding a rally sign over your head and chanting, Trump! Trump! Trump! Encourage others around you to do the same until officers can remove the protester from the rally.
Trump has previously been even less restrained in his advice to supporters at his rallies, which are infamous for their angry energy. He previously suggested that supporters should knock the crap out of protesters and that he would pay the legal fees.

TRUMP CAMPAIGN HAS ALMOST $1 MILLION IN UNPAID PUBLIC SAFETY COSTS
President Donald Trump has long touted his affection for the nation's police forces and has often referred to himself as the "law and order president," but his campaign has racked up nearly $1 million in unpaid public-safety costs for his rallies, with some debts going all the way back to 2016.
Invoices from ten cities including El Paso, Texas; Mesa, Arizona; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Green Bay, Wisconsin show that the president and his campaign still owe local police and fire departments large sums of money for providing him with protection during his various rallies over the last three years.
