Richard, can you give me an example of another president with this kind of reputation?

A white man in 2016 who threatened his black neighbor with a knife told police officers, “Donald Trump will fix them.”

Or how about when a Tampa, Florida man threatened to burn down a house in his neighborhood simply because it was being bought by a Muslim family, claiming that Trump’s Muslim ban made it a reason for “concern.”

Here’s another example, 16 pipe bombs mailed to Democratic leaders by Cesar Sayoc; he attended Trump’s rallies and wrote, “You met people from all walks life … color, etc.,” “It was fun, it became like a new found drug.” and referred to Trump as a “surrogate father”;

Another example wherein a mass shooting over 20 people died in El Paso, Texas, where the shooter’s manifesto parroted Trump’s rhetoric about immigrants.

“…54 cases invoking ‘Trump’ in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults.”
