Yeah, you can come out and protest me, but you might get the crap beat out of you if you do. That's what Donald Trump is doing.

That's part of the dictator or wannabe autocrats playbook. And of course, you know, that is a story that I know very well because violence gets covered when it actually happens. (11:01–11:10)
