Alinsky biographer, Sanford D. Horwitt provides an anecdote using precisely this diabolical tactic to deceive the people. From Horwitt's Let Them Call Me Rebel:

"...in the spring of 1972, at Tulane University...students asked Alinsky to help plan a protest of a scheduled speech by George H. W. Bush, then U.S. representative to the United Nations - a speech likely to include a defense of the Nixon administration's Vietnam War policies. The students told Alinsky they were thinking about picketing or disrupting Bush's address. That's the wrong approach, he rejoined, not very creative - and besides causing a disruption might get them thrown out of school. He told them, instead, to go to hear the speech dressed as members of the Ku Klux Klan, and whenever Bush said something in defense of the Vietnam War, they should cheer and wave placards reading, ‘The KKK supports Bush.' And that is what they did, with very successful, attention-getting results."

Trump needs to move his podium 5 feet left or right before he gives a speech at rallies... I suspect the left is placing people behind him that cameras will 'pick up. AND those people give the wrong impression. (thanks for the link Candor

As to the mob activity of the left, there is a fine line here and it needs to be addressed.

1st amendment free speech does not cover extortion, “Vote my way or else.”

Possible...but not likely IMHO.
