Trump knocks protesters against racial injustice during New Hampshire rally

Source: Reuters

LONDONDERRY, N.H. (Reuters) - Fresh from accepting the Republican nomination, U.S. President Donald Trump had harsh words for anti-racism protesters on Friday during a campaign stop in the politically important state of New Hampshire.

Addressing a crowd in an airport hangar, Trump called the demonstrators who sought to disrupt his White House speech on Thursday night “thugs” and said Senator Rand Paul could have died when he was swarmed by protesters afterwards.

Paul said on Friday he was attacked by an “angry mob” of more than 100 people near the White House and had to be rescued by the police.

“He’d either be in very bad shape, or dead, and that would include his wife, if those policemen didn’t happen to be there,” Trump said of the Republican senator.

Normally, he's repulsive enough that he's never in a crowd!

But also "of course," it won't matter to the cultists.

after getting my braces...it's going to get worse before it gets better. Reality is standing face to face with drumpf right now. His sister's secret recordings, continued proof of police brutality and racism, bankruptcy filing of dump tower in Vancouver, low viewership ratings. drumpf doing what he does best...failing.

Racism and division is all he's got left.
