You may not have heard this, but Trump is coming out with a sequel to the Art of the Deal.
This follow-up (also ghost-written) is titled, The Art of Thinly Veiled Threats.
While touting his latest addition of fiction, Trump said this:
"I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump - 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."
The response on social media was immediate, calling him out as a bully. His supporters, like crazy Kellyanne Conway, tried to defend his rant, but most people could see through her lies.
Apparently Trump felt pressure to delete his threatening tweet after news of the massacre of 49 people in a New Zealand Mosque was announced yesterday.
Trump has put steroids into the presidential Bully Pulpit, taking the original meaning and twisting it into an attack platform against anyone who dares to defy him with any means possible.
That goes for thinly veiled threats of violence.
He uses campaign rallies to encourage anger against the mainstream media and anyone who opposes him, encouraging followers to attack protestors, saying he'd pay for their legal bills.
I have a hunch his new book isn't going to be a best seller.
Time for me to walk on down the road...
