Since Trump embarked on his campaign for the US presidency in June 2015, dozens of attacks or threats involving his supporters have been reported. Here, the Guardian has compiled details of 52 incidents reported since 2015 involving Trump supporters.

This list includes people who:

  • Explicitly declared support for Donald Trump, or used his slogans, during or in connection with acts or threats of violence.
  • Cited Trump or his rhetoric in subsequently explaining acts or threats of violence.
  • Committed or threatened violence against opponents of Trump at political events, or while wearing Trump-branded attire signifying their support for the president.
  • Publicly declared an allegiance to Trump before committing or threatening violence against members of political or racial groups that Trump has denounced

    is working, BIGLY. The US is now unstable, all damaged from within. Now onto the next phase. He used the very worst, ignorant, self-promoting orange clown to do it, too. What a joke!! Meanwhile the traitors in the gop all stay silent and support him.
