Trump rally protests have taken place all over and often have become heated and even violent.

As a Presidential candidate, Trump has displayed an outright hatred and vindictive nature towards any who have protested at his assemblies. But what will he do if he becomes President? Although many would say this is paranoia on the part of this writer, I am deeply concerned. Trump's nastiness and hostility towards any and all who oppose him as a Presidential contender should not be taken lightly. He has the proclivity and the attitude of taking harsh actions against groups who might protest and demonstrate against his decisions as President, not to leave out the possibility of coming down very hard on journalists who say not-so-nice things about him as a perennially not-so-nice man.
Trump's an incorrigible egoist, egotist, and narcissist. I actually think a lot of his supporters like these aspects of his twisted personality. I see screaming red flags here, and consider anyone consumed with as much self-absorption as "The Donald" has exhibited to be not only ugly and vile, but also as evil as an angel of hell could ever possibly hope to appear!
Wednesday, on TPM Livewire, Tierney Sneed wrote: "Donald Trump lavished more praise on Vladimir Putin in Wednesday's NBC News' Commander-In-Chief forum, even after moderator Matt Lauer brought up the numerous ways Russia as sought to undermine U.S. interests."
"'Well, he does have an 82 percent approval rating according to the different pollsters, who by the way, some of them are based here,' Trump said." Tierney adds.
And so Putin is Trump's hero? If Putin says "nice things" about "The Donald" Trump will reciprocate? And perhaps even emulate? Perhaps the most famous of all of Putin's freedom of speech and freedom of expression crackdowns involves the case of an all girl band in Russia named "P*ssy Riot". Musicians, whether in Hollywood, Nashville, London, or Moscow get a lot of media attention. So Nadya Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich, all in their 20s, faced up to seven years in prison if convicted on what was deemed 'aggravated hooliganism' charges by a Russian court system. The judge at Moscow's Tagansky Court refused a defense request to release the trio on bail pending trial and extended custody until June 24, 2012. The three band members were later convicted and sentenced to two years incarceration in a prison colony for the charge of "hooliganism", according to reports.
P*ssy Riot's band members wore brightly-colored clothes and knitted balaclavas. They got a lot of worldwide attention after they rushed into Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow in February of 2012. The girls invaded the ambo and danced in a crazy fashion yelling: "Black cassock, golden epaulettes; all believers crawl and prostrate." They also repeated several times: "Mother of God, Blessed Virgin, drive out Putin!"
Did Donald Trump appreciate what Putin did to this band for speaking out against the Russian tyrant? In some demented and delusional way, does "The Donald" plan the same sort of retribution, although perhaps nothing as drastic, as what Putin did with his vampire's clamp on the P*ssy Riot girls? Are musicians, as well as reporters, who sing a protest song now and then going to suffer the Wrath of Trump? These are all questions the need to be looked at by the American voting populace. It's clear that Trump admires many of the things Putin has done to "have great control over his country" and for being a "leader". Some of the tactics Putin has used in the past might be in Trump's future itinerary, too. - Scary and sobering, but worth some reflection, no doubt.
Numbers to this fat-cat casino owner are everything. He's always consumed with his poll numbers, even if he says he's not. His playing on the fears, phobias, and hatreds of a gullible and now severely divided American populace is proof in the pudding. If Trump gets some sort of egregious and despicable rise in popularity as President for taking severe actions against a news outfit, or a group of demonstrators, or even a whole ethnicity, he'll jump at the chance to pull off such a stunt. After all, anyone who emulates and reveres an Eastern Bloc tyrant - whose predecessor actually said, "One death is a tragedy but a million is a mere statistic" is rotten to the core and has no business running for the U.S. Presidency. But the polls show a direct split right now and that means half of all Americans will be hungrily awaiting some sort of Trumpensteinian "Feed the Christians to the Lions" show. Except the feed won't be Christians, most likely, but Muslims, or Buddhists, or Latinos. Or maybe even me and you.
