Donald Trump worried 'dangerous' fruits could be thrown at him by protesters, a new deposition revea
Source: Business Insider via MSN
Donald Trump worried that "dangerous" fruits could be flung at him by protesters, according to newly-released excerpts from his sworn deposition for an upcoming trial in New York.
"It's very dangerous stuff," Trump said in the deposition, invoking a fruit-basket worth of potential projectiles, including tomatoes, pineapples, and, perplexingly, bananas. "You can get killed with those things," he said.
Trump expressed his concerns while under oath in October for a lawsuit that alleges he sicced his security on protesters outside Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign.
He was being asked about his past statements condoning violence at rallies, including one in 2016 when he told supporters that if anyone threw a tomato at him, they should "knock the crap out of them," and he'd pay the legal fees.

Imagine if there was video of him having rotten fruit thrown at him and splatting on his face.
I mean, there probably is, but it's in Putin's vault with the other one and will never see the light of day...

(14,848 posts)... emulate my grandfather, who purportedly busted the hull of black walnut (when it was green) by throwing it against a drunk man's head MANY years ago. (The man had made inappropriate gestures and comments to his wife, my grandmother.)
That happened according to my father, anyway, who witnessed it as a child. He was amazed by both the accuracy and the velocity of the throw, especially since those green hulls were hard to break open even with a hammer.
I'll be nice and give Trump some distance before my wind-up.

My father grew up on a Midwest farm that had several black walnut trees, but nobody around there had apple trees as far as I know.
tavernier
(12,322 posts)They are about grapefruit size and solid all the way through. Cows will sometimes try to eat them and have been known to choke on them. I dont think they actually have any use at all. They are not an edible fruit. I know they grow in Michigan and on my daughters farm in Indiana. The skin smells a little citrusy when you scratch it.

(16 posts)That's what I've heard what you describe called... they aren't edible, some people use them as bug repellent in closets.
Buckeye_Democrat
(14,848 posts)I Google-searched "choke apples" earlier, but I gave up pretty quickly when the top search results were lousy.
Osage oranges seemed to be the best match (as another poster wrote), but I wasn't sure. I've indeed seen those several times at parks around here.
And they'd be a good choice for Trump's skull, which is probably all-bone except for a pea-sized brain in the middle.

.In the section of transcript she read, Trump detailed his fear of being killed by a tomato throw by a heckler. Or, as The Washington Post put it, the "potentially lethal effects of projectile produce."
"With the release of this deposition in this past day, we now know a whole new thing we didn't know before about former President Trump, which is that he is apparently desperately afraid of a flying tomato," she said.
"I don't know. If I were a man in his position, I am not sure I would let the world know I had that kind of a phobia just seems like you're it exposing your weakness to the world, right?" she continued. "But his fear of a flying tomato is apparently so all-consuming that when confronted verbally with a discussion about the possibility of somebody throwing a tomato, he immediately extrapolates that from the tomato to the threat of a flying banana and then to the threat of a flying pineapple."

Trumps comments about the potentially lethal effects of projectile produce were made public Tuesday with the release of excerpts of 4½ hours of videotaped testimony in a lawsuit filed by a group of protesters who allege that Trumps security guards assaulted them in 2015.
I wanted to have people be ready because we were put on alert that they were going to do fruit, Trump said in the October 2021 deposition, according to a transcript of the proceedings.
He added that tomatoes are bad and that some fruit is a lot worse.
But its very dangerous. I remember that specific event, because everybody was on alert. They were going to hit they were going to hit hard, he said.
