from WaPo..
As The Washington Posts David Nakamura pointed out, this is actually quite similar to something Trump said at a September campaign rally for now-Sen. Josh Hawley (R) in Missouri:
Theyre so lucky that were peaceful. Law enforcement, military, construction workers, Bikers for Trump -- how about Bikers for Trump? They travel all over the country. They got Trump all over the place, and theyre great. Theyve been great. But these are tough people. These are great people. But theyre peaceful people, and Antifa and all -- theyd better hope they stay that way. I hope they stay that way. I hope they stay that way.

(33,345 posts)"The Left plays"?
"Cuter"?
"Tougher"?
WTF does any of that mean except the implication that Bikers for Trump should beat up Libtards?

IMMEDIATELY.
This is completely and utterly unacceptable talk from a so-called President of the USA.
Period.

(1,990 posts)Those ignoring or excusing this are the same ones who were doing back flips in the aisles over Barrack Obama putting his feet on the desk in the Oval Office and couldn't go a day without inventing someway that he had supposedly slighted America.

mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)This should be the absolute biggest news of the day, and every Democrat that can get themselves in front a the camera to denounce this ... should be doing so, and I mean LOUDLY.
This is COMPLETELY beyond the pale. I'm so freaking pissed off right now I'm ready to start breaking shit.

(535 posts)It should be the biggest headline, by far. One thing we can do with that anger is to wake up other democratic voters to the reality that he will call on his supporters to use violence to defend him before this is over with. Let none of us be shocked when it happens, let's be prepared for it.

(63,221 posts)I am so with you. I don't know how this isn't all over the airwaves. It is so fucking insane and over the top, even for that maniac Trump. I am expecting the late night talk show hosts to have a field day with it, but it really needs to go mainstream. This is absolute bullshit!

dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)Plus the idea of having "his own army" and other toys of power gives him a constant hard-on.
He's trying to show Putin and Kim and china he is as big and tough as them.
but dep inside, he knows he isn't.

(36,478 posts)All police, all military, all bikers. He's delusional. His approval is 39%. HRC won the popular vote by 3 million votes. We voted a clear democratic majority in the House to put a check on this asshole. We are the majority. Decent men are the majority.
