He said it

"What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives. No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society."  Donald J.Trump

Ok, according to the constitution, you are the chief law enforcement officer of the country.  What are you doing to restore law and order and protect those innocent lives?  Do you consider your encouragement of police brutality to be an action which promotes the restoration of law and protection of the innocent.  I just wondered since you said, "I said, please don’t be too nice.    Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over?  Like, don’t hit their head and they've just killed somebody -- don't hit their head.  I said, you can take the hand away, okay? "  I understand that completely.  I mean, why would you want your conduct to be superior of that of a criminal?  Go ahead, rough 'em up.  The bar of conduct for law enforcement is obviously too high.   "And I have to tell you, you know, the laws are so horrendously stacked against us, because for years and years they've been made to protect the criminal.  Totally made to protect the criminal, not the officers.  If you do something wrong, you're in more jeopardy than they are.  These laws are stacked against you.  We're changing those laws.  But in the meantime, we need judges for the simplest thing -- things that you should be able to do without a judge.  But we have to have those judges quickly.  In the meantime, we're trying to change the laws."  I hope you understand that laws are not "stacked" against anyone.  Criminal or victim, each are subject to a thing called the Equal Protection Clause.  You may not be familiar with this.  It is a part of section 1 of the 14th amendment of the U.S. constitution. Just as a reminder here's what it says:  All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. What kind of changes to law are you advocating?  Perhaps you feel Section 1983 within Title 43 of the USC is an unreasonable impediment to effective policing.  This law was originally passed as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1871, which was intended to curb oppressive conduct by government and private individuals participating in vigilante groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan.  Section 1983 makes it unlawful for anyone acting under the authority of state law to deprive another person of his or her rights under the Constitution or federal law.  Do you think false arrest, malicious prosecution, and use of excessive force are inconsequential or possibly do not actually occur?  These are the most common claims brought against police officers.

"Military solutions are now fully in place,locked and loaded,should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!"  Donald J. Trump
"They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen," Donald J. Trump
Fire and fury like the world has never seen?  What can you possibly be contemplating?  Here are a few examples of the fire and fury with which the world is already familiar.  There was the use of poison gas in WWI.  I assume you have at least a passing familiarity of the "final solution" proffered by Germany in WWII.  You may want to ask some of "your" Generals about the historicity of the fire bombing of Dresden in WWII.  For our part, we are the only nation to have actually utilized nuclear weapons.  They were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.  Possibly you are of a more classic bent.  Are you considering razing cities or even the entire nation of N. Korea?  Keep in mind, razing a city is not just burning it to the ground - the entire population is massacred and/or driven into the wilderness.  The world has seen a lot of fire and fury.  However, to be honest, I think you were just engaging in hyperbole.  I don't think you are actually capable of imagining such an event, much less providing the leadership it would require to enact it.

"Excuse me, they didn't put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides."  Donald J. Trump
Wow, I think wearing swastika armbands, carrying swastika flags, and giving Nazi salutes kinda renders how they filled out the permit a bit irrelevant.  Here's the deal, Donnie.  ALL Nazi's are bad.  There are no good Nazi's.  The KKK, resplendent in their robes and hoods is not a stronghold of "very fine people" either.  The group believes that America should be a nation that is free from drugs, homosexuality and immigration.  Claiming to have extreme pride in their nation, they say that they are building a better society for everyone.  According to Frank Ancona, a former self-described Imperial Wizard the KKK’s mission was to “preserve white culture and heritage” .  Why this would require out nation to be free from homosexuality and immigration eludes me.

Whaduyathink?
