You are losing the argument...badly.
See how effective that is?
So, now Trump, the instigator, has become the victim? And because you’ve made him the victim, I’ve become the Democrat? Interesting.
Here’s a far more reasonable analogy by the way, since a rotten tomato will do very little personal damage and Trump can afford a new shirt (especially since he’s got all that extra money to pay everyone’s legal expenses.)
Trump: “It’s rumored that a couple of people are going to taunt me at this rally. If you hear someone taunting me, knock the crap out of ‘em and I’ll pay your legal fees.”
Given your argument thus far, I’m sure that sounds quite reasonable to you, but I can assure you that despite your extensive legal background, you will be the one hauled away if you follow Trump’s direction.
Or, you can continue escalating the tomato....stick a few razor blades in it...fill it with acid, etc.
