Unless it is a lie. Trump doesn't tell the truth, and he most certainly was blaming the victim. That is what he always does--shouldn't surprise anyone. He just should not expect to be believed when he tries to ignore his own contribution to hate and violence and claim to want 'peace, love and unity.'
It's hilarious watching these guys try to pretzel twist their way around this.
It's like they never heard Trump make any of these statements.
"I’d like to punch him in the face"
"Maybe he should have been roughed up"
"Part of the problem...is no one wants to hurt each other anymore"
"I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will"
"The audience hit back. That’s what we need a little bit more of"
"If you do (hurt him), I’ll defend you in court, don’t worry about it"
"I’ll beat the crap out of you"
"Knock the crap out of him, would you? I promise you, I will pay your legal fees”
"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."
"Any guy that can do a body slam, he's my kind of ... He was my guy."
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters"
This is a ridiculous post. How about your provide the actual context of these statements rather than cherry pick some sound bites. Trump stands up for himself and American citiizen's who support the constitution and enforcing laws on the books and the left hates it.
Trump has never called for violence - unlike Dem leadership who are openly promoting it. This guy is a nut job pure and simple and there are people like that on both sides sides of the isle. Now if he had actually built bombs that reached their target and that went off... we'd actually have something to discuss.
And what world do you live in?
"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise," Donald Trump
At a Las Vegas rally Trump said security guards were too gentle with a protester. "He's walking out with big high-fives, smiling, laughing," "I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you."
Trump referring to a protester at one of his rallies "Get him out," "Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court. Don't worry about it."
"Please don't be too nice" to suspects, Trump tells police
Trump praised Rep. Greg Gianforte, who body slammed a reporter
These are just the tip of iceberg when it comes to bulling and inflammatory remarks against a long list of people. Trump incites hurt, anger and hate on a daily basis.

This from the POTUS and it should be a stickie but we know that won't happen. Not here anyway.
Scary thing is the conclusion of most of my Republican co workers is they are sorry the bombs didn't explode. I'm swinging to the right but I would never condone political violence.
Yes, a friend told me she heard a similar conversation. The only concern was that a postal worker who didn't deserve it could die - they had no issue with the intended targets being killed.

When you preach hate and division from a pulpit, a crazy person might take you seriously.
the hatred for one another and hateful speeches need to stop.
Yes, we know, you should ask Maxine and the scalise shooter....
