How the Trump campaign creates that mob mentality before Trump arrives

This guy has a blog.
He was at the rally where the protestor in the flag shirt was attacked.

This is what he had to say:

Silvercloud wrote that he was chilled by how the otherwise friendly crowd became a frenzied mob each time a protester was discovered in their midst:

The protesters who got indoors got an eerie response once discovered; people were instructed to chant “Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!” while pointing at the protesting people in the stands. This instruction was given well in advance before Trump arrived to speak.

Had this been WWE style professional wrestling, I wouldn’t have too much on an issue. But this isn’t professional wrestling entertainment,
this is a man running for President of the United States. Before he even came out, I have yet to see anything that remotely looks like unity of the total citizens of the United States. These chants sounded like fascism.

the article at the link describes how the attacks happened, and what Trump said to encourage the mob to attack.

worse yet, there are military men from a nearby base who are involved, who support Trump.
