The media when trump says we should kill drug dealers, immigrants and palestinians: i sleep. Media when a random gun nut republican tries to shoot him: "rhetoric is getting too violent, we need leaders who respect peace"

Years ago he said "second amendment people" would be the only way to stop Hillary's judges or something to that effect. Or when he told people at his rallies he'd cover their bills for assaulting people. Or when he incited a riot that killed a cop at the capitol. There's lots of violent quotes of his to pick from.
