Are you ready for the Red Hats?

The Star, 3-14-2019

" WASHINGTON—U.S. President Donald Trump has warned his political opponents of the possibility that they could eventually be confronted by armed Trump supporters in and out of uniform, telling a right-wing website on Monday that “it would be very bad, very bad” if his backers in the military, police and a motorcycle group were provoked into getting “tough.” "

This isn't funny. He is stoking his base into committing acts of terrorism against his enemies and perceived enemies. A lot of them might be cowards, but there are enough of them who are armed, insane and dangerous and that's all it takes for a tragedy to happen.

What kind of action can be taken against a president who threatens half the people in this nation? This is not acceptable at all. I think this needs to be addressed very seriously!

“Given my experience working for Mr. Trump, I fear that if he loses the election in 2020 that there will never be a peaceful transition of power, and this is why I agreed to appear before you today,”” he said.
