Something you’ve probably gleaned over the last six-plus years is that Donald Trump is a big fan of turning to violence when things don’t go his way. Obviously, there was the January 6 insurrection to overturn the 2020 election, but before that, the ex-president also urged police officers to knock suspects’ heads against the sides of their squad cars; endorsedassaulting reporters; openly fantasized about “Second Amendment people” preventing the appointment of liberal judges; and told supporters, of a man who’d been ejected from one of his events, “I’d like to punch him in the face.” There was also the time he claimed that the police fatally shooting a civilian was on par with a golfer missing a shot, and just last week, we learned that during an October 2021 deposition, he insisted that beating up protesters was justified if they were trying to throw a piece of fruit. So it was pretty much business as usual to learn on Monday that during the height of the 2020 racial-justice protests, the then president wanted the military to fire bullets into the people exercising their First Amendment rights.
