I’m just going to say, if, at the end of your dog’s life, if the decision has been made to help them over the bridge, don’t you dare just drop them off at the vet. You go in, you hold them, you cry your eyes out, but don’t you dare leave them alone. Ever.

So he’s threatening peaceful protesters, and lumping them together with “anarchists,” “agitators,” looters,” and “lowlifes.” Telling. Although I don’t see what he’s got against “agitators” and “lowlifes”—since @realDonaldTrump is nothing if not both.
