I have mixed feelings about this: 1) I think it’s generally smart to not take shit from bullies like Trump; 2) I don’t think that physical violence is justifiable, generally speaking, except if you’re legitimately defending yourself; 3) I’m also not sure that lowering ourselves to Trump’s low, low level is smart, but on the other hand the strategy of “when they go low, we go high” doesn’t seem to be working very well either. So…your thoughts on this?
