I think Trump is inciting his followers to harm the media.

[Lint Head]

To intimidate the people who exercised freedom of the press. I fear for the reporters cameraman and production folks reporting from the scene for CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and even Fox News.

It's called "inciting to Riot", which is a crime.
A Penal Law passed due to the fact there was much fighting in the streets, "A person is guilty of inciting to riot when one urges ten or more persons to engage in tumultuous and violent conduct of a kind likely to create public alarm."

1. No doubt.

He deliberately points out media people who are present and calls them the problem.

Like Sarah Palin with her target map, he is clearly hoping for a response that he can then weakly disavow.

[shenmue]

2. Of course

[spanone]

3. he's the most dangerous man in the world.

hands down

[gordianot]

19. To this date and time by far the most dangerous ever.

[spanone]

21. a vindictive person with sole access to the united states nuclear arsenal.

4. You just noticed this? Where have you been The last year and a half

[Lint Head]

32. Didn't just notice it. It's getting much worse.

[L. Coyote]

5. He is intimidating journalists to manipulate and suppress what the media says.

That's how that works. The threat of violence from idiot followers is just part of the control exerted.

[Volaris]

23. Yeah, but there's this little quote about that kind of Power that seems appropriate...

'The more you tighten your grip, the more Star Systems will slip through your fingers.'

If he pisses them off (and I mean really) they have the power and the voice in the Public Square to completely destroy him. That he doesn't seem to know that, should be proof enough that he's unqualified for his job at best, and a complete and utter simpleton any other way.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Stochastic terrorism.

[Docreed2003]

7. I don't there there's any doubt of that...

He called them "bad people" and implied they stood against the nation! This guy is dangerously disturbed!

[unblock]

8. he's wondering where his sturmabteilung is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung

The Sturmabteilung (SA; German pronunciation: [ˈʃtʊɐ̯mʔapˌtaɪlʊŋ] (About this sound listen)), literally Storm Detachment, functioned as the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party (NSDAP).

It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Their primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies, disrupting the meetings of opposing parties, fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties, especially the Red Front Fighters League (Rotfrontkämpferbund) of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), and intimidating Slavic and Romani citizens, unionists, and Jews – for instance, during the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses.

The SA have been known in contemporary times as "Brownshirts" (Braunhemden) from the color of their uniform shirts, similar to Benito Mussolini's blackshirts. The SA developed pseudo-military titles for its members. The SA ranks were adopted by several other Nazi Party groups, chief amongst them the Schutzstaffel (SS), which originated as a branch of the SA before being separated. Brown-coloured shirts were chosen as the SA uniform because a large number of them were cheaply available after World War I, having originally been ordered during the war for colonial troops posted to Germany's former African colonies.[1]

The SA became disempowered after Adolf Hitler ordered the "blood purge" of 1934. This event became known as the Night of the Long Knives (die Nacht der langen Messer). The SA was effectively superseded by the SS, although it was not formally dissolved until after the Third Reich's final capitulation to the Allied powers in 1945.

14. Just an easy switch from brownshirts to...

[world wide wally]

18. Isn't that second guy from the left a murderer?

[Maggiemayhem]

24. I do believe that is the driver.

[BigmanPigman]

9. He has been doing this since he came down the Golden Escalator.

He is "the escalator" of violence and hate. Bannon wanted to destroy our government and country as we know it. That's why they are best pals and why Miller and Gorka are still there. His goal is to create chaos in the country as he has done in the past with his business employees and in the Oval Office with his staff. He wants to get his base pissed off so that when he eventually goes down he will bring the country down with him. He will watch and revel in it.

He is maniacal and must be stopped now! RESIST!

10. Jan 2017 prediction:

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/01/how_trump_will_change_america_predictions.html

[kimbutgar]

29. I predict this also

The media created and pushed this cretin on us. They will end up being victims. Will they push back is the question?

[VMA131Marine]

11. I think Trump is inciting his followers to stage an insurrection

If the Russia investigation looks like it will take him down.

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. Then they should boycott his "rallies". Pep rallies aren't newsworthy, except if your name is Trump.

The media has no obligation to cover his 2020 campaign activities. They just love being there, much like they did in '16. They are the reason we are where we are now. I don't feel sorry for them. If Trump's rabid supporters turn on them at one of these cartoonish rallies, maybe they'll get the hint and stop carrying this crap on live tv.

I suggest that for anyone who's against the media boycotting, they should attend the rally to see for themselves.

[LuckyLib]

22. They should boycott. But if they can't do that, ask for police escorts in and out.

[Tarheel_Dem]

25. Not a good use of police resources. Campaign rallies are not vital to our national security.

I fully understand the need to cover the orange buffoon in a press briefing, or when he travels abroad, but following him from town to town while he's campaigning for the next election is not newsworthy AFAIC, just as it wasn't in 2016. Don't be fooled, the media loves covering Trump, even if it's for cynical reasons.

[LuckyLib]

30. I agree. The best tactic would be to give him no press on these rallies.

That's hard for them to do. But I'd want protection from the crazies.

[Ligyron]

28. The MSM corporate overlords can willingly sacrifice a few lousy reporters.

After all, it's the $$ that matters. That's the bottom line.

[MaryLouisaWillis]

13. Yes, IMO he is

The republican party is complicit.

[Flaleftist]

15. Yes.

It also sounded like he was encouraging more Nazi rallies with that 'destroying our history and heritage' comment.

[world wide wally]

16. It's obvious

Then he will say, "I never told anyone to attack the press".
And he hasn't. He plays a game of "technicalities" all the time.
After all, he is a professional money launderer.

[WinstonSmith4740]

17. I can't stand to watch him.

I see what I do of him on news reports. My gut feeling the last few weeks? He's amassing his army. These lunatics WILL take up arms for him and kill reporters, opposition politicians, etc...just like his hero Putin. The republicans better get their shit in order fast, because they'll be the first ones in his sights. He's got to go. I'd prefer to see him frog-marched out of the Oval Office in handcuffs, but I'll settle for anything that gets him the fuck out of there.

[trof]

20. Ya think?

He does not give a shit.
Period.

[NutmegYankee]

26. I think he wants to isolate them from the media.

He needs people who won't be swayed by facts and will defend him when the shit hits the fan.

[McCamy Taylor]

27. Is Trump that big an idiot? The press loves victimized members of the press.

They are their own favorite martyrs. If even one cameraman or reporter gets killed by fascist Trump supporters, that will be the only story we hear until Trump is out of office.

[stopbush]

31. Yep. He's already incited his followers to run over and kill a protestor.

[Lint Head]

33. Exactly.
