It gets worse: Trump supporter yells ‘Sieg heil!’

Source: Raw Story

2016 GOP presidential contender Donald Trump’s campaign took an even uglier turn Monday night, as one Trump supporter was heard yelling “Sieg heil!” as a protester was dragged from the room by campaign security.

According to MSNBC, several Trump supporters were screaming at protesters who were being manhandled and ejected from the rally held at the Westgate Hotel and Resort.

While it had previously been reported that one black protester was assaulted by security as a Trump supporter shouted, “Light that motherf*cker on fire!” a reporter from MSNBC said a large middle-aged man shouted, “Sieg heil!” — a Nazi-era salute — while one protester was hauled away.

In video from NBC (see below), the shout can clearly be heard

Another man — described as wearing a “glittering black suit” — was heard yelling, “He’s a Muslim! He’s a Muslim!” as a protester was escorted from the ballroom.

As the protesters were being hauled away, Trump continued speaking to the crowd, complaining that the only time the media films the large crowds at his rally is when they are being interrupted by protesters.

a Reichstag fire.

But with a major difference: unlike Hitler's Reichstag fire, which even the Nazis framed in the context of a tragedy, Trump's Reichstag (Congress) fire will be publicized to his followers as a celebration.

I hope I'm wrong about him.

and push legislation that would suspend the Constitution and make him dictator for life.

God help America if he ever gets anywhere near the White House. We'd all be criminals just for being Democrats.

Just as Trump hopes to, he (Macri) got to office with relentless media cheerleading. And you guessed it: Macri and Trump are very good friends.

He would need willing participants for that. The President's power is too limited (unless if he resorted to Executive orders). We would just have a very bad President.

One of his influences is executive/legal, but the other is basically being the frontman/spokesman for the USA. What we're seeing now is, even though he's not even in office, his bombast is highly complicating U.S. relations. Imagine if he was the official spokesperson and did this all the time. Worse than now, the media would pretty much be obligated to carry it, and that kind of rhetoric can endanger our people and relations all over the world. Even if he accomplished technically zero legally, he (as he already has) can seriously degrade our international relationships. Right now, they just blame Trump, but if he was in office they'd blame the country, and we can't excuse it away as (comparatively) easily as we are now.

That's my assumption. I can't believe they don't go after the idiot himself, I really think if one of them really hammered Trump on it, it would help. But then again, maybe my faith in the American electorate is being dismantled once again.


Peace

like the Southern Strategy may become a tragedy. It would be frightening to see our country turn into Hitler's Nazi Germany 2.0.

What's left of the diminishing-by-the-day base of the GOP is a relatively small (but still irresistible to our entertainment-obsessed media) cadre of bigots, xenophobes and billionaires. That's why all this hand wringing such as, "OMG!! Trump is at 70%!!11!" is silly. Even if Trump were to get 100% of the GOP primary vote, he'd still garner 25% at the most in any national general election.

Maybe the dude is smarter than I thought, and he's doing this to screw the Republican party's chances.

But what he's saying is just simply outright dangerous, and now it's not helping EITHER party. He's just a rich dilettante that's now endangering everyone with his speech. If he wanted to help, he should tone it down. The only other possiibility I can entertain is that he does want to help by screwing the GOP's chances, but he's not aware enough to do it properly. That helps with understanding his motivation, but the effect is regrettably the same.

raids per day. Most on private residences.
Swat launches a grenade on a baby's face and then has the gall to blame the baby in official court documents.

I'd say it's already happened here.
