At the very least, to see if he denies saying it…or to see if his Spokesthings say something that he will contradict a half hour later. ---

Trumps dream is to have street fighters like the SA. He wants to tweet from his bed, and have a paramilitary organization read between the lines and take action in his pre-adolescent mind. He obviously hasn’t paid much attention to who actually rides bikes these days. 55+ years old,out of shape,and only get together to show each other pictures of their grandkids. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > WTF? In red China, Mao had a campaign called the Hundred Flowers Campaign where he encourage people to speak out and suggest reforms and when they did he had them arrested thrown into the prison camps. I find it odd that the OP is warning that the most powerful man in the world is sending his supporters to attack his enemies and yet she wants us to identify ourselves as Trump’s enemies. I smell a trap. ---

So you are quite convinced that he is advocating violence against his enemies, but you don’t think he would ever plan it. That seems contradictory - what did CNN say about it? Regards, Shodan ---
