We do know "make America great" was our WWII Nazi group/isolationist party name?

“Serious question people? How many of you seriously wish to see physical harm come to the President? I'd bet more than a few in here...This latest message from the media to the general public seems to be pushing this....”

Serious question, people. How many of you seriously wish, as does President Trump on record, to see physical harm come to those that exercise their free right to speech who disagree with the President? These past messages of fact from Trump to the general public are definitely pushing this...

At a campaign rally in Kansas City on Saturday, the day after the unrest in Chicago, Trump addressed an earlier event in Dayton, Ohio, when a protester tried to storm the stage.

The candidate said he would have fought the person had he reached the lectern and mimed punching him a few times.

"I'll beat the crap out of you," he then mouthed. "Part of the problem ... is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore."

Demonstrators interrupted a Trump rally in St. Louis, Missouri, Friday. As they were being escorted out of the venue, the candidate bemoaned the fact that there were no longer "consequences" to protesting and insisted the "country has to toughen up."

“You know, part of the problem and part of the reason it takes so long is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore, right?" he explained. His remarks are heard just after the seven-minute mark in the video above.

Outside the event, people screamed profanity and anti-Muslim rhetoric at each other while a bloodied protester was given medical treatment. Thirty two people were arrested.
"The audience hit back. That's what we need a little bit more of."

Donald Trump calls supporters' violence against protesters "appropriate," says "that's what we need more of."
7:56 AM - Mar 11, 2016

On NBC's Meet the Press, Trump said he would have his team look into paying the legal fees of 78-year-old John McGraw, who was charged with assault and disorderly conduct after attacking the protester.

"In the good old days this doesn't happen because they used to treat them very, very rough."

As protesters were being escorted out of the rally in Fayetteville on Wednesday, Trump told the crowd that the protesters were not being treated poorly enough.

“They used to treat them very, very rough, and when they protested once, they would not do it again so easily,” he said, before lamenting "we've become weak."

"Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it."

At a rally in Michigan, Trump again seemed to give the green light to violent behavior. As a protester was being escorted out of the building, Trump marveled at what a "fun time" everyone was having.

"Get him out," he then said. "Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court, don't worry about it."

He then told an anecdote about a brawl at a prior rally that was "amazing to watch."

"I'd like to punch him in the face."

At a Las Vegas rally in late February, as a protester was again being removed from the premises, Trump lamented that "we're not allowed to punch back anymore" and reminisced about the halcyon "old days," when a protester would "be carried out on a stretcher."

The crowd is delighted, cheering, clapping and laughing.

He then said he'd like to punch the man in the face, again to cheers.

"Knock the crap out of them."

After a protester threw a tomato at Trump at a previous event, he encouraged fighting at a later campaign stop in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in early February.

"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously." He again promised to pay for any legal fees associated with an assault.

"Maybe he should have been roughed up."

After a Black Lives Matter activist was kicked, punched and, he said, called the N-word at a campaign event in Birmingham, Alabama, in November, Trump expressed his approval.

"Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing," the now frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination told Fox & Friends the next day.

Trump said the man deserved the treatment because he had been "very obnoxious" and "so loud." The remarks can be heard just after the 11-minute mark in the video above.

"I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will."

Yeah, except she was getting money at the same time, with pathetic denials of no ties. Whatever, there's isn't a chance in hell there was no connection after the Clinton reputation of shady dealing for the previous 25+ years. You'll believe what you want anyway.

Translation: "I want the left to throw wiffle balls while my side throws hard balls."

I'm personally against violence. But getting lectures from traitor trump supporters on how WE on the left need to tone it down... hypocrisy at it's finest.

You're hate for me because I voted for Trump is irrational...And going further to call me a traitor, is even worse...It really says more about you than it does about me....

Awweee... you has a sad? Lord knows you played the victim card as hard has you could.

I called trump a traitor. And you support him. I never called you a traitor. So wipe your tears and learn that everything is not always just about you.

So, now you going to lie about that? Really?

You think we are 'throwing hard balls'? Hell, the right doesn't know what a hard ball is....You're just mad because some of us are getting wise to the fact that trying to reason with the dishonesty of the radical left knows no bounds, and we are using some of your own tactics against you, and you don't like it....

So, if there are any tears here they are yours not mine...I'd offer a tissue, but then again maybe I'd just laugh.

I have been and will continue to call trump "traitor trump". There is traitor trump and then there are his supporters. Cry all you want, you are not a victim here.

You were presented a list situations where traitor trump was playing hardball and pushing for violence by his sheep. You hand-waived and instead of address your blatant hypocrisy, you opted to play this victim crap you are doing here.

Sad.

See, I can not believe I have to explain this to you...You are lying here....Your sentence used the term "traitor trump supporters", not 'traitor trump, AND his supporters', or 'traitor trump, supporters'....no there was no comma, no qualifier, until you got called for doing it....Now you want to put this on me as some kind of victim, or whining about it, NO....I am calling you a damned liar period....is that clear enough for you? You are part of the problem as of late in this site along with others that all they do is flame, and **** all over any topic trying to be discussed by anyone you disagree with.....You ought to take your **** and hit the road until you can be civil again because I have no use for your BS....Got it?

You want me to put in a comma after "traitor trump, supporters" to clarify? That's grammatically incorrect. I'm sorry you got your feelings hurt. I even explained to you want I said and clarified but you won't accept it because why again? Jesus Christ stop crying.

Nope, you just keep lying...But hey, whatever floats your boat...You are so transparent and easy when you get busted.
 
Now, I get this cover is suppose to be a metaphor for Trump falling flat on his face. But I would also say they are literally wishing physical harm comes to Trump. Let's run through a couple things to back this up:

-Kathy Griffin pictured with a (fake) severed bloody Trump head

-the picture of Trump being decapitated with a blade

-Madonna fantasizing about blowing up the White House with Trump in it

-the Snoop Dog music video with a clown that looks like Trump being shot in the head

-Johnny Depp fantasizing the assassination of Trump

-people making statements on social media threatening to kill Trump

-people hoping a serious medical condition comes up and takes Trump's life

The Left does wish harm comes to president Trump. They're that far removed from sanity and what is good in the world that they would even be thinking about these things, let alone saying it or showing a depiction of the harm. Of course, it's not just Trump. It's his family as well. Disgusting comments about Ivanka, tearing Baron Trump from his mother's arms and throwing him in a cage full of pedophiles, wanting to throw his other kids in jail for helping out their dad, Melania's accent mocked, the Left is spiteful that way towards their political opponents. They still won't stop when Trump is out of office. It's extremely vile and they know it is, but they don't care. Many of them were so severely brainwashed that this is all they can do to people they don't like. So regardless of what metaphor this cover image is trying to show, the Left actually wants Trump to be critically hurt (physically), whether it be an escalator or by some other means.

I do not believe in conspiracy theories, do you? The Clintons are the most investigated couple to walk the earth, nothing has ever turned up despite right wing attempts going back to the early 90s. I realize that you desperately want to believe they are masters of the universe but the truth is they are just a high powered couple trying to make this world a better place.

Eh, I really don’t think this was intended to suggest any support for violence against the president and it’s kind of a funny cartoon. Given how much the press hates him, it could have been a lot worse.

Who cares? This is clearly a representation for him falling "flat on his face" in regards to his meeting with Putin. Just some more conservatives getting triggered over nothing.

By the same magazine that depicted Obama as a terrorist. Seems I recall some triggered folks then. Maybe everyone just needs to chill a little about a frikkin cartoon.
