Donald J. Trump has repeatedly attacked the media, almost at every rally, calling them dishonest and sometimes verbally assaulting individual journalists personally, for the crime of simply reporting on the racist, sexist, violent, and untrue things he says.
Here are some examples of how his supporters are whipped up at his rallies.
