If Trump Is the One Promoting Violence, Then Why Do So Many Americans Say They Want to Punch Him in the Face? by Helen Smith. A recent poll of 1,000 says 54% of Americans want to punch Trump in the face.

It is always seen as funny when violence is threatened against a Republican and as horrible and deserving of death when threatened against leftists.
