A study published on Friday appears to confirm what news reports suggested long ago: President Trumps campaign rallies were associated with a rise in violence when they came to town.
A city that hosted a Trump rally saw an average of 2.3 more assaults reported on the day of the event than on a typical day, according to the study, led by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and published in the journal Epidemiology. The authors found no corresponding link between assaults and rallies for Mr. Trumps Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.
It appeared to be a phenomenon thats unique to Donald Trumps rally, said Christopher Morrison, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania and the lead author of the study.

MAYBE they'll have themselves a parade, or a March or a Rally or something (but 5 idiots doesn't a revolution make).

His audience is there for exactly that type of smack talk. That's the only 'entertaining' part of his speeches, to them. Obviously, they're not there to hear 'policy wonk' talk from d Rump, who knows zero about every issue, anyhow. They're pro-wrestling fans.
"I hate. I'm furiously angry. I'll get all my enemies." That's the subtext of every off the cuff remark.
