Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that his supporters would respond with riots if he fails to secure the nomination at Julys convention in Cleveland.
I think youd have riots, Trump told CNN on Wednesday. I think youd have riots. Im representing a tremendous many, many millions of people.
At Trump rallies, people of all ages and creeds, even some outside the continent, have continued to make their voices heard.
Far from idle chatter, Trumps words come as escalating protests from left-wing activists, heated responses from his supporters, and increasing tensions within the GOP over his candidacy are raising fears that the convention could devolve into chaos. Cleveland is reportedly working to procure 2,000 sets of riot gear equipment for its officers.
