Question is will Donnie pay for this guy's legal fees? He said he would.

When did he ever say that at all? Now your just blowing smoke.

For some Trump haters, smoke is the only thing available.  Mirrors being too expensive and unwieldy.

I dont . I plainly said in my post Trump needs to dial back. You read what you want to

You are also implying that Trump is on the same level as some random liberals. 

Political discorce is okay, for the common man. 

Never excepetable for a leader. 

"Dialing back" may be too soft of a term.

  The "welcome president Trump" sign and the cross hairs over Hillary's picture seem to say it wasn't a recent affiliation change. If he ever changed at all. My life isn't all that reliable.

I agree with.Trump on this, they are clearly identifief, should be a fast track to being put down, no clemency no compassion. There are no places in a civil society for such rabid dogs

When you look at violent assaults of one party on another the left is leading the pack with over 600 confirmed cases.

It is interesting how people that are racist, or sexist are automatically considered conservative.  I guess that is the Left Wing’s identity politics coming to the fore front.

Stop watching Fox News

Let’s examine this more closely, shall we?  I mean, it’s one thing to use a meme to tell half the story.  But me, I like to hear the REST of the story...

 

”I’d like to punch him in the face” - comes from 23 February 2016, when a protester was causing a ruckus, and when the guards tried to remove him, said protester started throwing punches.  Trump called him nasty and said he would like to punch him in the face.

 

“Maybe he should have been roughed up” - comes from 22 November 2015, when a protester at a Trump rally started screaming and shouting.  Other bystanders started pushing the guy to the ground to get him to stop.  In a later interview (I believe it was the next day?) Trump said:

“The man that was — I don’t know, you say “roughed up” — he was so obnoxious and so loud, he was screaming — I had 10,000 people in the room yesterday, 10,000 people, and this guy started screaming by himself. And I don’t know, “rough up” — he should have been, maybe he should have been roughed up. Because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing.”

 

“Part of the problem is no one wants to hurt each other anymore” - During a March 2016 rally in St. Louis, protesters were causing a stir (notice a trend here?), and Trump called for law enforcement to remove them, which then took place, but rather slowly, apparently.  Trump said:

“You know, part of the problem, and part of the reason it takes so long, is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore, right? And they’re being politically correct the way they take them out, so it takes a little bit longer. And honestly, protesters, they realize it. They realize that there are no consequences to protesting anymore. There used to be consequences, there are none anymore.”

 

Basically, he was apologizing to his crowd for the disruption and gentle removal of the perps.

 

“I don’t know if I will do the fighting or someone else will do it for me” - 

Trump said this on 11 August 2015, when asked at a press conference in Birch Run, Michigan whether he would ever yield the stage to a protester at one of his events. 

Two days earlier, Black Lives Matter demonstrators came on stage at a Bernie Sanders rally in Seattle, taking over the podium and interrupting the candidate’s stump speech. Sanders reluctantly gave the microphone to the protesters. 

At the press conference in Michigan, a reporter asked Trump “Would you give up your microphone to a protester?”

 

The candidate responded:

“I would never give up my microphone. I thought that was disgusting. That showed such weakness, the way [Sanders] was taken away by two young women — the microphone — they just took the whole place over…That will never happen with me. I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will, but that was a disgrace…”

 

 

“The audience hit back.  That’s what we need a little more of” - Said in response to a protester in Vegas who was acting like a fool, and started swinging at Trump supporters (I think even Ray Charles could see the trend by now).  Trump said:

“He was a guy who was swinging [punches] — very loud, and then started swinging at the audience and you know what, the audience swung back, and I thought it was very, very appropriate. He was swinging, he was hitting people, and the audience hit back. And that’s what we need a little bit more of. “

 

I could go on, but I think most logical-minded human beings can see this meme, while accurate in the words used, completely takes the words out of context to paint Trump in a negative light.  I get it that it makes TDS folks very happy, but when looked at more closely, I think anyone who was being fair can see why he said the things he said.

 

If you’d like to read more, you can find it on snopes: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-incitement-violence/ 
Videos are there as well as the quotes.

 

Like the one that Trump actually said “Yeah get him out, try not to hurt him.  If you do, I’ll defend you in court.”
