During a rally Thursday, in Montana, Donald Trump praised Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-MT), for body-slamming a reporter, the same day that he said a journalist "certainly looks" to be dead.
As noted by the HuffPost (emphasis mine):
“Any guy that can do a body slam, he’s my kind of guy,” Trump said at the event as supporters cheered him on. “I had heard that he body-slammed a reporter ... and he was way up, and I said, ‘Oh, this is terrible, he’s going to lose the election.’ Then I said, ‘I know Montana pretty well,’ and I said I think it might help him. And it did.”
Trump didn't think Gianforte was going to lose. He knows that America is ripe for fascism.
Congrats Montana, he thinks you're one of those places.

The Guardians U.S. editor, John Mulholland, wrote in a statement obtained by the Washington Post:
In a reasonable world this would be insane, but that is not the case. Just look at some of what YouTuber commenters said:
This is nonsense that permeates the American landscape... Including, the President of the United States...
