Donald Trump said Tuesday that if Black Lives Matter protesters ever hijacked one of his campaign events and tried to take his microphone, he might have to fight them off personally.
Trump was asked during a press conference what he thought of Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders allowing two Black Lives Matter protesters to storm the stage during a campaign event in Seattle this weekend and block him from speaking.
Trump vowed that would never happen to him.
“I would never give up a microphone. I thought that was disgusting. That showed such weakness,” Trump said. “The way he was taken away by two young women. The microphone, they just took the whole place over. And the audience, which liked him, I mean, they were him. They’re saying ‘what’s going on, how can this happen?'”
“That will never happen with me,” Trump promised, adding, “I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will.”
“But that was a disgrace,” he continued, adding that he “felt badly” for Sanders.
“But it showed that he’s weak. You know what, he’s getting the biggest crowds, and I’m getting the biggest crowds. We’re the two getting the crowds, but believe me that’s not going to happen to Trump.
Trump’s meeting with Steve Forbes and Art Laffer to develop the right tax plan based on a low/flat model.
The security force should respond with due diligence.
“It really doesn’t matter that much how cerebral an individual is, there is a strength of personality. Bush does not have it.”
He also looks and acts like a boorish dullard, and has an immediate family that keeps getting in trouble with the law for venal, or self indulgent, or predatory things. It is long past time for this family to step or be pulled off of the public stage. They’ve done more than enough damage. W was the pick of the litter, and his is at best a mixed and inadequate legacy.
Only the most naïve can support this and claim to be conservative.
Trump's past positions have also been too liberal for me, but since declaring he's been fighting the right battles against illegals, political correctness, media bias, Mexican & Chinese trade warfare and he's not backed down an inch to the onslaught of the media, Democrats or the GOPe.
I'm for Cruz in the end, but like Cruz I see that Trump is acting like a icebreaker for Cruz issues and non-PC positions and that to silence Trump now is to silence the voice of the politically incorrect masses that Trump has awaken.
As for the nonsense some are spreading about Trump being a Clinton plant and this being proven by that famous phone call from Clinton to Trump in which Clinton claims he encouraged Trump to run in the GOP - it begs an answer to one question. ( A question I've posted on FR many time and yet have never received a single reply. ):
If Trump is a Clinton plant in the GOP primary (to allow Hillary to win in the general) why did Clinton reveal that supposed phone conversation and thereby expose Trump as his plant before the GOP primaries have even begun?A perfect example of illogical reasoning. Trump may be still a liberal at heart but you can be certain of one thing. He's not a Clinton plant because they fear more than anybody else the man who has already repeatedly called Hillary a "criminal" and has shown he will not back down from that charge.
Such an idiotic response to my question and points speaks for itself.
"All of Trump’s support is fake."
Did he hire actor's for all the polls taken showing his ranking?
He can afford to hire enough security to eliminate the threat.
I think its 15% but still that’s not bad. And everybody has to pay something which I am for. Even if its $50 you should have skin in the game.
If I made a million I could live with $150,000 in taxes.
Whatever you think of Trump, you gotta admit this is a great political move.
The activists at Black Lives Matter have to respond to his challenge and try to take over a speaking engagement. Trump will resist and this will play well with every white person who is tired of all the black racism masquerading as protest.
He can’t lose this battle.
My money says, that if Cruz wins the GOP nomination Trump will back him (and not go 3rd party).
But if the GOPe rigs the outcome and selects Jeb or another of the GOPe candidates Trump will go 3rd party and the GOPe will deservedly collapse.
