At the start of his campaign event in Phoenix on Thursday, where supporters waved posters of Trump’s mug shot with the words “Never Surrender,” a video played featuring Trump’s frequent warning that his supporters are in danger: “They’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you, and I just happen to be standing in their way.”
Trump has made many such violent threats over the past couple of years, as The Post’s Aaron Blake noted: Predicting after the FBI retrieved classified documents from Mar-a-Lago that “people are so angry” it could mean “terrible things are going to happen”; warning after his indictment in the hush money case of “potential death & destruction” and saying “OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED, AS THEY TELL US TO BE PEACEFUL!”; foreseeing “bedlam in the country” if he were prosecuted; and, asked whether there will be violence if he loses in November, responding: “It depends.”
