Meh, I don't care who supports Trump and I understand some of the reasons he attracts people. My mom is a Trump supporter.
But, I don't think Trump supporters are entitled to different treatment than Obama supporters, or Hillary supporters, or Bernie supporters or anybody else with ardent detractors. And, Trump makes a lot of public statements that generate strong reactions, which I personally believe is intentional much of the time, and they're fair game for criticism and mockery like any other public figure's.
Anyway, Donald Trump and his supporters sure as hell don't hold back on criticizing other candidates and the people who support them -- if you're gonna dish it out, you ought to be prepared to take it.
All of which gets him tons of free media time, which can cut both ways.
I thought it was hilarious though that some college students reported feeling in fear for their lives because someone wrote "Trump 2016" in chalk on campus, and others said they felt they weren't in a safe environment because there were Trump supporters among them. Weirdos.
