Trump is signaling that he and his followers helped by the GOP will go after any protesters. It could get ugly like what happened to Occupy with the police and security involved. I worry we are entering a new era where protest will be dealt with in a different than if has before. What happened in Ferguson could be an example.
The "fake news" strategy to make real news irrelevant is a bad omen. Our country is faced for a kind of turmoil that we have not seen in a long time. Today's press shows how really crazy Trump is. It was well staged in a place where he had a lot of supporters to intimidate the reporters. The CNN incident is just the beginning.

I am truly worried about the clever subterfuge. The possibility of violence is too scary to even contemplate.
