Trump wants you to join in clobbering protesters

Jerry Elsea

Some people are upset at the spectacle of unidentified paramilitary forces assailing and whisking away peaceful demonstrators on city streets — especially when troops in Portland, Ore., go so far as to clobber a Navy veteran who was just asking for information.

What’s to worry? Probably just a Trump recruiting drive: “Beat all you can beat.”
