In a tweet, Charles Blow, an African-American columnist for The New York Times who has been harshly critical of Trump both in the newspaper and on television, told me he is bombarded with racist fury through email. Katie Tur of NBC reported in an article in Marie Claire that she had to be escorted out of a Trump rally in December by Secret Service to protect her from raging Trump supporters who had sicced on her by their candidate. She was also the primary subject of a death threat two weeks later on Twitter.
“MAYBE A FEW JOURNALISTS DO NEED TO BE WHACKED,” the tweet from someone with the handle GuyScott33 read. “MAYBE THEN THEYD STOP BEI[N]G BIASED HACKS. KILL EM ALL STARTING W/ KATY TUR.”
There are more. According to The Daily Beast, Bethany Mandel, a conservative essayist who has written about her opposition to Trump, had been so violently attacked on social media that she felt compelled
to purchase a gun for protection. Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic, received an email telling him he would be sent to “a camp” when Trump wins. After she published an article in GQ about Melania Trump, Julia Ioffe, a Jewish journalist, received death threats by phone and email, and tweets showing vile images such as an anti-Semitic caricature of a Jewish man on his knees being shot in the back of the head; she filed a police report. Jonathan Weisman, deputy Washington editor of The New York Times, tweeted a link to a Washington Post opinion piece that was harshly critical of the Trump phenomenon. The vicious attacks on Weisman, who is Jewish, came quickly.’ tweeted one of the deplorables who goes by the handle “deplorable basket weave.” “You people will be made to pay for the violence and fraud you’ve committed against us.”
You equate criticism of Israel’s persecution of Palestinians with anti-Jew sentiment, yet you criticize the highest leadership of the US—you must be an America hater, by your own definition. Love it or leave it.
Clowns aren’t happy with the “creepy clown” thing again. Last time was in the 1970’s. They were never solved. They were scary. No one arrested, it just started and stopped abruptly and many children and adults were terrified.
Trump is precisely the same man today he was 11 years ago on the “private” tape, and 8 years ago when he was on Howard Stern, just look at what he called Cruz, and his other REPULICAN opponents, let alone his disgusting references to Hillary, “liberals” and ALL American suckers who support him. Beneath contempt.

Only an opponent like Hillary could produce so many willing to even consider voting for Trump.

Maybe Trump will have his Joker moment in the next debate, and hiss at Clinton, “YOU MADE ME!”
