Spoiler: Trump sounds the same at unscripted rallies as he has for the length of the time I’ve covered him (1 yr) https://t.co/MnOIZpbqy3

“You have to fight fire with fire,” Trump decided. “We have to be so strong. We have to fight so viciously. And violently because we’re dealing with violent people viciously.”

Painting a picture, Trump told the few-thousand gathered in the Ohio University Eastern gymnasium that “they eat dinner like us. Can you imagine them sitting around the table or wherever they’re eating their dinner, talking about the Americans don’t do waterboarding and yet we chop off heads? They probably think we’re weak, we’re stupid, we don’t know what we’re doing, we have no leadership. You know, you have to fight fire with fire.”
