Trump: "We HAVE toned it down, I'm getting hit right and left by very political people I don't know"

He's on the way to Dayton & El Paso.

He'c cited Sanders, Warren and ANTIFA multiple times in just a couple of minutes.

"You have two sides that are very different on this issue" (referring to Congress)

This is not high school debate. Racism, white supremacy, dehumanizing people, hurling vicious accusations, inciting violence is not a "side." It's a crime.

He claims he has brought people together!

Chris Jansing is having a meltdown over this bullshit. She looks like she is going to lose her temper!

Yes, he is a uniter, not a divider.

It's that old schoolyard "I'm not stupid, YOU'RE stupid jousting match.

Good luck to El Paso and Dayton when it comes to keeping the protesters away.

And to the elected officials who are boxed in here, who have to meet with him because of their job descriptions, remember: BREATHE.

We already know he's a cable news junkie, and we know that he regularly watches MSNBC...Morning Joe at minimum.

So the culpability for this has been placed at his feet, and the old Trump "When they hit you, hit back 10 times harder" crap has kicked in.

ANTIFA is all the rage with them now. I saw a Facebook reply in which someone claimed they couldn’t enter the city of Portland anymore because of ANTIFA

Antifa has jumped over ISIS and MS-13 in their world. I’d be shocked if Fox News and Hannity specifically weren’t driving Antifa into their viewers heads.

Deaths as a result of:

Antifa - 1 death in 30 years (a Nazi that was shot in 1992)

Right Wing Extremists - nearly 700 deaths and 5,000 injured

it's NOT both sides.
