Trump tries to calm his ‘vicious, violent, screaming’ supporters
The Washington Post ^ | December 16, 2016 | Philip Rucker

ORLANDO – It has been 39 days since Donald Trump has had to worry about Hillary Clinton, but his supporters can’t seem to stop talking about her.

Even before Trump took the stage at a boisterous Friday evening rally here, the president-elect’s introductory speakers referenced his former Democratic opponent – and the crowd of thousands, perfectly on cue, chanted, “Lock her up!” One man screamed loudly, “Waterboard her!”

When Trump delivered his speech in Orlando, his latest stop on a national “thank you” tour, his throngs of fans repeated their chants: “Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!”

If the president-elect loved hearing their plea, he did not say so. Rather, he sought to calm his unruly army of passionate followers.

In the run-up to the election, Trump told them, “you people were vicious, violent, screaming, ‘Where’s the wall?’ ‘We want the wall!’ Screaming, ‘Prison!’ ‘Prison!’ ‘Lock her up!’ I mean, you were going crazy. You were nasty and mean and vicious. And you wanted to win, right?”

The news here: The Washington Post fails to recognize irony once again.

Trump was joking, the Compost takes it seriously like they do any negative aspect of his team and effort. Fake News.

And nary a peep when one of their own suggests Trump is sleeping with his own daughter.

This came directly from this Daily mail article. Even the readers there are SICK of “news” being twisted around as factual.

I guess I am out of the loop. I thought it was the Electors who were being treated viciously and in a threatening way, even to death threats. Am I missing something here or is the Washington Post missing the real news while they rush to publish. “fake news.”

Conservative billionaires need to take over one of the 3 main broadcast networks. At least until casual news watchers (those who turn on news, only during earthquakes, hurricanes and presidential elections) discover that there is news on the internet

Wash Compost is right. I do indeed “viciously” despise the Leftist National Media.

Do these people realize that more than 95% of the counties in this country are Trump supporters?

I would prefer to see HRC tried in court -pick a crime, any crime- found guilty and sentenced to prison. Not made into martyr or victim but to be shown for what she is and to live in a cell for a decade, serving time and serving as proof that no one, is above the law.

I watched the rally last night and heard President Trump use those words to describe those in attendance and all in his movement. I knew he was using tongue in cheek descriptions....but I also knew the media idiots would highlight this characterization - and sure enough, here it is.

Sigh.

I don’t think any of us can write the worst things we’ve yelled about Hillary in our homes.

For my information: Was this in the actual paper and ink copy, or is this a blog?

Not that it makes a whole lot of difference, but I never see an actual paper copy of the Compost.

Not so condemnatory towards the leftist lowlifes who rioted after the eighth of last month, though.

And he is in way over his head because he religiously believes Amazon is too big to fail. New contract negotiations with USPS under the Trump Administration may cool his zeal a bit. And about those coming permits necessary for drones...,

Drone permits for Amazon should depend on public safety, not whether Trump likes Bezos. I don't like Democratic or Republican corruption.
