1.Trump, who encourages his supporters to surround and shout down protesters with chants of “USA,” has openly pined for “the old days,” when, he says, noisy demonstrators would be carried out of a political rally on stretchers.
2.“I’d like to punch him in the face,” he told a Las Vegas casino rally crowd last month when one protester was ejected.
3.As protesters have been led away by police or security, Trump has said he wishes he could punch them in the face, or that in the old days protesters went out on a stretcher, or that someone should “knock the crap out of them” and that he would pay legal fees for someone who did.

4. “The audience hit back and that’s what we need a little bit more of.”
5.”Part of the problem ... is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore.”
6. the candidate bemoaned the fact that there were no longer “consequences” to protesting and insisted the “country has to toughen up.”
7.“You know, part of the problem and part of the reason it takes so long is nobody wants to hurt each other anymore, right?”
8.”In the good old days this doesn’t happen because they used to treat them very, very rough.”
9.“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.”
10.”Try not to hurt him. If you do, I’ll defend you in court, don’t worry about it.”
11.”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.
12.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,”
13.”I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will.”

Again, I have trouble expressing how truly disappointing I find your posturing on this issue.
In pursuit of validating your point, whether because of ego or conviction, you see only violence in these quotes, and obviously consider that sufficient to prove your point. What has wholly escaped your attention is that in each and every one of the quotes you present there is a common thread: the frustrated desire to be unmolested at a gathering of common cause.
You have adopted the ethos of the left.
Apparently you consider meekly accepting the provocations of those looking to disrupt the only acceptable response to those actions. To that end, you have also adopted the “only purpose of a gun is to kill people” doctrine and/or dogma.
I do not agree.
Furthermore, I say with an absolutely clear conscience nothing you have quoted, along with the spectacularly peaceable nature that characterizes Trump rallies in general, or the heinous social extortion exhibited by the left, can in any way lay responsibility for that extortion at the feet of Donald Trump.
If verbally expressing the desire for a manly defense constitutes an offense, what are you doing on a conservative forum?
