President Donald Trump on Friday was facing scrutiny for comments in a recent interview with Breitbart News in which he warned his 'tough' supporters could turn things 'very bad' if provoked by his political opponents.

"I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump," Trump said to Breitbart in an interview Monday after reportedly being asked about "how the left is fighting hard."

"I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad," he said.

Trump tweeted out a link promoting the website Thursday night after several Democrats and political commentators raised issues with the comments and whether they amounted to a potential threat of violence.
