Those TV shows were created in more recent years, so adults we're not raised with those, but possibly violent video games. I do feel it doesn't help to make commonplace depictions of violence, which has grown over time.
In the case of tRump at his age however, what has been his excuse, since none of that existed when young?
Oh my gosh. Right - none of these shows were violent:
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
The Battle of Algiers (1966)
Robocop (1987)
Rambo (2008)
Natural Born Killers (1994)
Men Behind the Sun (1988)
Django (That's right - the first one was in 1966)
A Clockwork Orange (1974)
Kill Bill (2003)
Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood (1985)
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)
Braindead (1992)
How about when he makes these statements? This isn't about "showing anger" or "emotions". This is about inciting violence. You can try to whitewash it all day long - no one is buying it.
"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"
USA Today, The Atlantic, Psychology Today, and the New Yorker all ran pieces about Trump being a sociopath. After all this is a man who used an image of himself killing someone to illustrate how much he is loved. That's pretty far out there if you ask me.

Well, some people will just disregard those news sources. I would have more respect if some of said supporters would just admit "I like Trump despite his sociopathic tendencies" or "I like Trump BECAUSE of his vulgar and sociopathic tendencies because it represents how I feel right now". Sadly, many will claim "it's all lies and the persons saying that stuff hate Trump anyway".
If I were the president, I would try banning so many violent TV shows and movies from public release.
Just take a look at those popular TV series, Game of thrones, Westworld, etc. Some persons are killed every five minutes. When people have enough bloody killings, they make a change by introducing some sadist torturing people.
If Americans have acquired such a taste since childhood, what do you expect them to do as adults?
The shows you mentioned are not on regular network tv, it’s on cable.

Because it isn't. He promotes violence. Directly.
