President Donald Trump made another reference to his supporters' potential for violence in an interview published Wednesday.
Speaking to Breitbart News, Trump said that while the left "plays a tougher game," his supporters "are tougher."
"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," Trump said. "But the left plays it cuter and tougher."
It's hardly the first time Trump's has talked up and even goaded his supporters' potential for violence.

(442 posts)It wasn't just the few weeks or months leading up to 1/6, it started the day he decided to run for President. He has an obsession with the stereotypical macho male and feeds their need for attention. It's a bromance of codependency.

(13,421 posts)I learned pretty early on that anybody that has to tell you how tough they are is most likely blowing a lot of smoke. They might be a mean sprited SOB, but usually they just don't have the physical or emotional ability to deliver. Pendejo45 always struck me that way, and I have yet to have my mind changed about him. He's absolutely expressing his hopes and fantasies when he talks about his badass supporters.
Yeah, I have little doubt that a portion of law enforcement and career military types do support him, but take into consideration who (what personality type) is commonly attracted to those types jobs.
