Here is how Gandhi would handle Trump

Trump has promised to pay legal fees for supporters who knock the crap out of protesters

Gandhi would gather his followers and send them to Trump rallies to get hit w/o fighting back while the world watched. He would then have each assaulted person press charges and drain Trump of his funds. If Trump refused to pay(which he probably would) then his followers may feel that he screwed them and left them rot in jail.

Just a thought

But nobody will hear that part of the story, we will have all moved along by then.


We need to remember, when these supporters are not around, Donald Trump talks about what idiots they are.

Nonviolent resistance is the way of the prophets. Mr. Gandhi, and Dr. King, to name another.

This way requires a lot of self control.
