Trump Threatens Violence Against Enemies

Trump is advocating for his supporters to get violent with his opponents. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.

Read more here:

"President Trump issued a bizarre, indirect warning Monday that his supporters could get “tough” on his political enemies at a “certain point,” in a clip of a Breitbart interview spotted Thursday by The Toronto Star. “You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny,” the president told Breibart’s Matthew Boyle. “I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay? 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 go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.”

We need the mafia out of the White House.

He’s backed into the corner, he’s getting desperate.

As scary as this must be for Americans it just shows how absolutely terrified he must be. He is literally like a spoiled 3 year old that stole a toy truck but won't admit it, yet he is threatening to destroy the truck if they try and take it away from him. He seriously can't even be considered a grown man at this point.

Trump is deranged. Lock him up. Throw away the key.

[barrykaine]

Words fail to describe the utter bankruptcy of this man's soul. He is literally threatening the very people he swore to represent and protect. May he reap what he sows.

Im pretty confident that "bikers for Trump" is a euphemism for Nazis.

[yetanotherjohn]

Just like Cohen warned us "If he loses the election, there will never be a peaceful transition of power."

Most bikers are not goons for tRUMP, shame on you for despairing motorcycle inthuest. Most will be the first to stand up and defend our institutions and rule of law if threatened or intimidated by any acts of violence. American bikers are Americans first !

[IanMcgrath-wnfd]

As a Non American, of course he can leave office, one shot one kill, job done.

[audrywise]

What he's really saying is: I'm a punk ass bitch because I can't fight like a man without the police and military.

[davescotts]

It sounds like a veiled threat towards anyone who dares oppose donnie. As if America is afraid of him. If he believes the police and the military will go against those who peacefully oppose him, he is wrong. If his base starts problems for whatever reason, every State Governor will call out their national guards to put down any riots provoked by him.

Bill Maher has been saying that if Trump were to lose he would not leave the office!!!

[vmah]

People have always felt this way about each other, Trump just normalised encouraging his supporters to demonstrate their views with violence.

[erinsmith]

The one thing that a lot of people forget is that "Trump is all talk, " as he has never had to go to the extremes to get his way, as it was always handed to him, in one form or another! Now as President, Donald Trump is being pushed beyond the boundaries of what he likes to refer to as his norms or modus operandi and it is really starting to show in his mental state, his work product and even in his tweets!

[Armlesscrayon]

Once a thug always a thug...I still can't believe that Trump is the US president, everyday is like another episode of apprentice. Or Groundhog Day. 🤣🤣🤣

[GenerationBright]

The threats from American right wing political rhetoric just cost the lives of 27 people and counting in my country.

[Garland]

Jesus...I never thought I could be gobsmacked, yet again, over something Trump has said. What President would make vague threats involving "Bikers for Trump."

[allyjay]

I fuckin' knew it from the start but nobody ever listens to me! I hate being right about this shit but I know evil when I see it.

[pano]

It’s ominous.

At the very least, he’s kind of gleeful and giddy at the prospect of violence in this quote and he’s got form for it too! He loves the idea of violence.
