Donald Trump: Hit those who speak, torture those who protest, kill those who oppose
Donald Trump’s threat of a Second Amendment solution to the problem of Hillary Clinton appointing judges isn’t the first time he, or people connected with his campaign, have suggested that problems are best addressed with violence.
Secret Service agents also interviewed a Trump campaign adviser last month, after he said that Hillary Clinton “should be put in the firing line and shot for treason.” …
It’s little wonder that at Trump rallies the already astonishing cries of “lock her up” had turned into shouts of "kill her"even before Donald Trump suggested shooting his political opponent. And that's the mildest form.
… refrains of “hang the bitch” and “kill the bitch” have grown increasingly common at Trump rallies.
When he’s not advocating murder, Donald Trump likes to talking about hurting people. After the first few nights of the DNC, Trump’s response was that he wanted to hit several speakers.
“There was one guy in particular, a very little guy. I was going to hit this guy so hard, his head would spin. He wouldn’t know what the hell happened.”
And there was Trump directly tying the idea of people who protest him to those who deserve torture.
“You see, in the good old days, law enforcement acted a lot quicker than this,” Mr. Trump said, as security officers made their way toward the protester. “A lot quicker. In the good old days, they’d rip him out of that seat so fast.” …
Friday evening was not the first time Mr. Trump has questioned the alacrity of his event security workers. But he used the moment to go into his views on waterboarding, and bring up a debate in which he was asked about it.
“What do you think of water boarding? I said I think it’s just fine,” Mr. Trump said, recounting his answer. “And frankly, if you want to go a step above, or two or three steps above, that’s O.K. with me, too.”
Those who say something bad about Trump? Hit them.
Those who protest against Trump? Torture them.
Those who dare to run against Trump? Kill them.
