One reason why I decided to vote for Trump

The below video was one of the first moments when I decided to vote for Trump (shot at an Ohio rally in the spring of 2016).

Black Lives Matter representatives had recently physically taken the microphone away from Bernie Sanders.

I watched the Sanders humiliation. And then I watched the below physical Trump reaction to a threat. If I had been previously torn between the two populists, these moments helped decide the issue.

You might want a passive wimp in your personal life, but running the country? I want a tough guy. Just as I wanted a "tough guy" negotiating international business deals favorable to the US. (Sanders, on the other hand, had been a Senator for his whole life --- he'd never actually DONE anything in the real world.)
