Trump (To) Cover Legal Fees Of Fan Who Assaulted A Protester?

Donald Trump has promised supporters that if they “knock the crap out of” a protester, he will cover their legal fees: “Just knock the hell— I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise. It won’t be so much ’cause the courts agree with us too.”

Trump, who once said he’d like to punch a protester “in the face,” now has a chance to show if his voters can trust his word.

hide and watch.
Some one is going to sue his ass off and win. You can't just go around advocating violence like this stupid jackass is doing and get away with it.

He'll probably send a nuke at another country over a perceived insult.

This man is truly unstable.

Thanks for the gift, GOP.
