   @thomasfuchs Just read that the Trump is asking Democrats to cool down their rhetoric, but he could (as far as I can tell) care less that his rhetoric has lead to death threats, etc., against ordinary Americans who, of course, do not get Secret Service protection. Of course, he won't tone down his rhetoric.

     @thomasfuchs the "rhetoric" Trump was referring to probably centers around the idea that he is a threat to democracy. There is not a precondition that a statement be untrue for it to qualify as rhetoric.
