Trump Warns: It Would Be ‘Very Bad’ if My Police, Biker Gang Fans Decided to Get ‘Tough’ on My Opponents

President Trump issued a bizarre, indirect warning Monday that his supporters could get “tough” on his political enemies at a “certain point,” in a clip of a Breitbart interview spotted Thursday by The Toronto Star. “You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny,” the president told Breibart’s Matthew Boyle. “I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay? I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump–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.”

As usual the media response was "meh" and "that's just trump being trump."

The despicable POs is not only an extremely effective liar and bullshit artist, like every other two-bit mobster he knows how to phrase threats to avoid prosecution.

6. This was said in 2019. IMO it was just one of his 'feel good' statements of vicarious toughness.

He’s such a weakling and coward that he fantasizes about being macho and bold. Strong men with tears in their eyes look to him for leadership, etc.
