Trump vows to pay legal fees of supporters who 'knock the crap' out of tomato-throwers.

Donald Trump got word from his security detail in Cedar Rapids on Monday that there could be someone in the audience with tomatoes -- so Trump reportedly decided to go ahead and take precautions.

"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them," Trump urged his supporters. Were anyone to feel concern about being prosecuted for assault in such a scenario, Trump reassured that, "I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees."

"I'm concerned about the 'beating the crap out of them' part. I will drop it for now."

C'mon, Miss Prissy Twitchy Rabbit Ears, if you don't understand Donald-talk by now, you never will. He talks like your brother-in-law probably talks at a family dinner table. I've probably voiced similar sentiment hundreds of times in my life.

Too many people are becoming so sissified these days that they get the vapors when someone talks strongly....even in metaphors. I hear a certain Dr. Williams produced "pink pills for pale people" in 1898 and they're still available to treat the vapors.

Now go back to your doily crocheting hoop, and do "drop it for now"...thanks very much.

GO TRUMP !!!

The Left have been attackimg our speakers with pies and otherwise for over a decade. It’s about time that such behavior involves personal risk.

All,

Stomping a tomato thrower is not assualt. It is using force to protect a fellow citizen from assualt, which is legal in most localities.

I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. I've been challenged by so many people, and I don't frankly have time for total political correctness.
And to be honest with you, this country doesn't have time either.

Donald Trump

Trump’s Tomato Diplomacy

Now - no one will throw a tomato at Trump because they will experience physical harm.

This is basically how Trump will treat other countries and radical groups who want to harm Americans. I believe most of the GOP candidates would do the same as Trump. The difference is that Trump has provided a demonstration.

If this makes any Freepers/lurkers uncomfortable, perhaps Jeb Bush can explain to you how being hit by a tomato is an act of love.

Seriously, you’re purporting to offer legal advice on a topic you can’t even spell? Give me a break.

Self defense from a tomato thrower is not a crime. It’s making ketchup!

Riiiight. Because they’ll be threatened with violence, right? And how’s that theory working out in gang warfare land?

Hmmm, you remind me of a certain lt. general who would have been fired by Patton.

There’s a lot of pearl-clutching going on in this thread. Trump can never make a joke without some faint-of-heart poster fainting in the aisles.

You’ll get no argument from me on that objective. But you won’t find me looking to Donald Trump for the way to get that done.

He’s got secret service protection too. Anyone stupid enough to pull a stunt like that is doubly screwed.

It will be funny if one gets clapped in jail, however. Will Donald Trump pony up to compensate THAT?

God might not be too happy with Cruz misrepresenting what gospel should look like... but Trump can’t get away with infinite bullshitting either. This could be kidding, but wait till someone takes him seriously.

I’m wondering why he didn’t just instruct them to send a sternly-worded letter to The Times.

Go Trump!

We are already in gang welfare land. It just hasn’t spread to your neighborhood yet.

Yes, a joke. You can see that’s exactly how his ardent supporters are taking it, right?

I’ll tell you who the faint-of-heart are. They’re the ones willing to flush the Constitution and take matters into their own hands. Have a little faith and let’s do this right. We’ve had enough Obamamanics. We don’t need to elect one of our own.

If I saw some jerk throwing a tomato or whatever at my candidate - yeah, I drop him to the floor like a bag of rocks without even a second thought.

And I'd have your back.........
