Donald Trump has caused widespread indignation by appearing to suggest that he could use force against his political enemies. In an interview, Trump noted how “tough” right-wingers are, compared with left-wingers, and said: “I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump. I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough – until they [his opponents] go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad.”

This comes as the Democrats are conducting detailed investigations, carrying on where Mueller left off.  He is threatening the opposing party with force and clearly hinting  that, should he lose in 2020, he would be prepared to provoke violence.  Or that is my interpretation; maybe he will correct himself?  Answer: he is never wrong about anything, so won’t.

That we have a President who could be talking like this is bad enough; that his base seems to think such talk is acceptable is even more scary.
