...most of his violent (spoken) rhetoric happened at MAGAt rallies in Term 1. That's where he told cops to not be careful about suspects' heads when they throw them in the back seat of the patrol car, and that thing about telling security to throw out protesters, "rough 'em up, I'll pay your legal bills."

When he WASN'T at a rally he was STILL rude and petulant with reporters, but in Term 2, he has no "off" switch.

And the only reason I bring this up is that in Term 1, Lewandowski was the face of violence and bullying in Trump's orbit at a time when there were still "adults in the room."

I think that on the day I discovered Lewandowski was going to be my boss, I'd be boxing up my belongings and heading for the exit.
