Donald Trump says he may pay the legal fees for a 78-year-old supporter who was arrested after sucker-punching a black protester.

The incident took place at a Trump rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina on March 9.

“I’ve actually instructed my people to look into it, yes,” Trump said on NBC on Sunday’s Meet the Press. “He obviously loves his country.”

During a tour of the morning shows, Trump disputed claims he was fueling violence at his rallies, some of which his team has been forced to cancel recently due to security concerns. 

Our people started swinging back, and the next day we are the bad guys.
