Trump’s call for an army drew backlash and many believe this is another cry from the president to incite violence.
Don't Miss
Stop calling to people to join your “army” to “fight.” This is inciting violence.

In a normal democracy, the president would be calling for calm and not recruiting people to intimidate at the polls.

Thank you, sir, for this wonderful opportunity to illegally intimidate voters, sir. Just one question: will the campaign pay for the wear and tear on all the rascal scooters or nah?
