He is a common criminal who just made more money being a criminal than most.

I'm hoping that whomever, next, takes to throwing tomatoes is recording announcing, loudly, "this is a beef steak tomato from my garden, plucked from my garden this morning", while holding it out for full display and for good measure, record someone standing nearby, touch the tomato and declare it a tomato.

I doubt that the thrower would actually have to throw the tomato ... in order to put trump on the hook for some serious legal bills of the attackers AND himself!

How about we gets some folks together, pick up his car, and put it in the hallway of one of his rallies?

We did this to teachers and peers in high school.

It's a non violent protest against a Plutocrat Corporatist.

Democrats the ammunition to create some really bad headlines for himself if a few brave democrats showed up at a Trump rally with some tomatoes.

would help as a defense. They could just say the thrower could have been lying.

But the optics of any kind of serious violence at a Trump rally over tomatoes I imagine would not help Trump's campaign.
