.MaddowBlog: Donald Trump has been known to have some unusual fears. What we didn't know was his fear of killer produce.
What we did not know, however, is that the former president also apparently has some concerns about killer produce. The Washington PostFormer president Donald Trump said he feared protesters would hit him with tomatoes, pineapples and other “very dangerous” fruit at his campaign rallies, declaring in a sworn deposition that “you can be killed if that happens.”
Asked whether it was his expectation that his security team should also be prepared to “knock the crap out of” possible tomato-throwers, the former president replied, “Well, a tomato, a pineapple, a lot of other things they throw. Yeah, if the security saw that, I would say you have to — and it’s not just me, it’s other people in the audience get badly hurt. Yeah, I think that they have to be aggressive in stopping that from happening. Because if that happens, you can be killed if that happens.
According to the plaintiffs, while the former president did not directly participate in the altercation, he bears legal responsibility for the actions of his employees.
