If there’s one thing Donald Trump really knows how to do well, it’s manipulate a situation to his advantage and use violence to do it.

Over the weekend some Trump supporters thought it would be a good idea to ban together to protect voters again the apparent threat of “violent far-left agitators,” by forming some kind of Trump militia.

We’ve long known Trump as the blow hard who will say just about anything to evoke a reaction. But more recently, he’s unfortunately started to walk the talk, and things have taken a violent turn for the worst.

Last week a man in North Carolina punched a black man and was subsequently charged with assault. Sadly the violence continued, and Sunday in Kansas City police pepper-sprayed protesters twice outside of a Trump rally.

As a result of a protestor jumping a fence at a Trump rally in Ohio, a group called “The Lion’s Guard” called for Trump supporters to form a militia in defense of “violent far-left agitators,” according to RT.

Do you want to provide security protection to innocent people who are subject to harassment and assault by far-left agitators? If so, you are welcome to join. That’s the mission — to protect innocents who can’t hire their own security guards.

The group claimed that they would be unarmed, “but willing to forcefully protect people if need be.”

Hmm, that’s reassuring.

The group went on to state:

We are defensive, protective of innocents who are being beaten and harassed for their political views.

According to RT, the Lion’s Guard later suspended its account due to threats, but it was assured that a website was being created to “make it easier to coordinate action.”

Here’s what their Twitter page looked like before it was taken down:
