They Threw Him Aside Like He Was a Little Bag of Popcorn.. It’s a Beautiful Sight

This must never happen again. We need to fix this, once and for all. I hope we get the chance.

As reported by the Huffington Post and many other outlets: Trump Celebrates Recent Violence Against Journalists, Says It’s ‘Actually A Beautiful Sight’

“They’d grab one guy — I’m a reporter. I’m a reporter,’” Trump said, imitating the scene. “They threw him aside like he was a little bag of popcorn. Honestly, when you watch the crap that we’ve all had to take so long, when you see that — you don’t want to do that — but when you see it, it’s actually a beautiful sight.”

I am spitting angry.

This is beyond anything I ever could have imagined a President of the United States saying. Oh, I’d expect Trump to think it; he’s a crude, disgusting thug who glorifies violence against his “enemies.” But to speak it aloud demonstrates his belief that he is untouchable.
