Because he needs to have his ego consistently stroked, Donald Trump continues to hold rally’s coming up on two years after the 2016 presidential election. And it’s during those rallies Trump doubles down on his dangerous rhetoric that the press is the ‘enemy of the American people’ which in turn results in the following:
Another snapshot from Trump’s Tampa rally, I tried to take a picture with a father and his daughter while people yelled “CNN sucks” in my face. I am sorry that this little girl had to see that. pic.twitter.com/DIHPpCdbb6

Jim Acosta getting booed at a Trunp rally isnt the interesting part of this video. How is the "Blacks For Trump" guy at every rally? Does Trump 2020 just pay him to be there? pic.twitter.com/gAyFjE72bT

Just a sample of the sad scene we faced at the Trump rally in Tampa. I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt. We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy. pic.twitter.com/IhSRw5Ui3R

This is what’s happening at the Trump rally in Tampa as @Acosta does a live shot. Folks booing, shouting “traitor,” and “you’re a liar.” pic.twitter.com/aUoUF4cwcB

So much for ‘civility’ right? And people wonder why restaurants want nothing to do with the likes of Sarah Sanders at their establishment.
You also have to wonder when the major news outlets like CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC and so on are going to continue to cover these rallies? You can set up a camera and still get the gist of what Trump is spewing that night. What’s sad is it’s not like there’s any substance with what the 45th President of the United States says. I mean last night he was claiming that you needed an ID to buy groceries when trying to tout the notion of having to show your ID when you go to vote.
Not sure when it was we had to flash an ID to buy a box of Captain Crunch 🤔. What the hell are you talking about @realdonaldtrump? pic.twitter.com/6wid9WSrMH

Bottom line some journalist is going to get hurt at one of these events and Trump will tweet something the following day talking about how people should have the right to be able to go to work and feel safe. Two days later he’ll post a gif image of himself clotheslining someone with the CNN logo imposed over their head and point out Katy Tur at another one of his asinine rallies while she’ll need to get escorted to her car.
If for some reason you don’t believe me, the President of the United States actually retweeted this tweet that his son posted last night.
