“I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of Bikers for Trump,” Trump told Breitbart in the interview, which he later tweeted. “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.”
The Left has said this is a thinly veiled threat of violence against them. Interestingly, in one of the few times he has deleted a tweet, after the attack in NZ those words were deleted. Why? No matter.
What I believe might help is the Right interpreting what he meant. Is there another explanation besides a threat against the Left of violence if pushed hard enough? What did he mean by "a certain point"? "It would be very bad, very bad" how? Two of the supports he claims have weapons and are organized; Bikers are somewhat notorious for their no-nonsense defense or retributions. What did he mean by "their support"? How? Against who?
For me, it goes along with other perceived approval of or invitation to attack the opposition.
His comments about the convicted criminal assault against a reporter (“any guy who can do a body slam, he is my type!”) by Gianforte. Was that encouraging violence against the media? And if so, are you okay with that?
In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he told audience members he would pay their legal fees if they engaged in violence against protesters. How is that not encouraging violence against the opposition? Please explain. And explain why he later said he never stated he would pay for those legal fees. (He is on video doing so.)
Is the Left daft or haters for seeing in what has been mentioned a threat of violence?

https://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-154711-1.html#2781211I’m not condoning it, and I wouldn’t refer to myself as part of “Trump’s base”. He’s no where near as Constitutionally minded as I am, I’m just trying to show you something to explain because you asked. Leftists are literally destroying this country, denigrating the constitution, the free enterprise system, they can’t even bring themselves to support babies born alive let alone defend living human beings in the womb, are making it illegal and unacceptable to acknowledge that the marriage of one man and one woman isnt only best and primary relationship, but is THE sole bedrock building block of society, and on and on I could go, and after you threaten all these perversions to all that is true and holy, then you cry foul because conservatives warn you that they will only let you push them so far!?
And you act all “superior” for seeing the rage build?!? This is just another hypocrisy to add to the list of leftists.
Answer me this mr self-righteous smarty pants- when you leftists make socialism the law of the land, and make loving liberty and this country’s founding principles illegal to express and defend, and then force compliance at the end of a gun, who will be the fascist then! And why are you so cowardly as to insist that all their guns be taken away first? Tyrants all of you!
What do you expect your leftist ideal of “fundamentally transforming” this country, that many of us love, to induce in those who love it, to do? Add that to the fact that the founders of this country warned that tyranny, just such as you leftists are heading this country toward, would need to be fought against with bloodshed, and what do you expect to happen?
You’re like those families of thieves who were shot in self defense by their victims, and you blame the intended victim instead of denouncing the thief or rapist in your family. THAT is how TWISTED your reasoning is.
If you are SO concerned about this divide between left and right turning violent, then it is YOU LEFTIST SOCIALISTS who should leave, not the constitutional patriots who are merely “self-defending” this great country that our founders bought with their blood and our soldiers and their families have sacrificed lives to defend ever since! And you think these patriots ought to submit to your ruination of this country with some kind of gratitude to you? Oh, you are so smart, not!
But none of you leftists will leave because you are that much of a collective of hypocrites, and self-conceited bigots and you hate America that much, and you are that much of a group of tyrants yourselves that you think these “hicks” need you all to straighten out their country for them.
Go away. Move to Argentina. Or don’t complain when the violence starts in defence of this country from your treasonous, forcible, tyrannically imposed “fundamental change”! All the blood will be solely on your hands! The self-defenders of this country’s foundational principles will not be the guilty ones... not this time.
Does that answer your question?
