Trump's natural inclination is to “kick ass and take names,” as the old saying goes. I’m not at all sure that i a good idea. “You get more with honey than you do with vinegar.” That’s what my grandmother and mom used to tell me.
Is he wise to push the Dems/Libs to play hardball? Leftists militants, such as Antifa, et al, can also be very aggressive. Antifa cells and ex-military types, actually a rumble.
If I were Trump, I would give few reasons to shoot at me or my MAGA followers, but that's just me. Trump may well see that as a weak move, but I think it's a lead pipe cinch that militant Liberals will oblige him if he asks for it. The world has plenty of crazy to go round.
