Does this sound like the violent kind of man you want to be President? What is he going to do if he becomes president, execute Hillary and Bill and anyone else who doesn't agree with him? This man is too disturbed to ever have his finger on the button, even Conservative Republican leaders understand this who aren't voting for him at all.
- At a rally in Iowa, Trump said he wanted to 'hit' some DNC speakers who criticized him
- The four-day Democratic Convention has featured a series of speakers attacking the GOP nominee

Trump says he would like to 'hit' DNC speakers who disparaged him
Story highlights
Davenport, Iowa (CNN)Donald
Trump, after hearing speeches at the Democratic convention this week,
said Thursday he wanted to "hit a number of those speakers so hard,
their heads would spin."
"They'd never recover," he said.
Trump often uses the term "hit" to mean verbally attack, rather than physical contact.
The Republican nominee zoomed in on one speaker especially, though he didn't mention his name.
"I
was going to hit one guy in particular, a very little guy," Trump said
to laughs at a campaign rally in Davenport, Iowa. "I was going to hit
this guy so hard his head would spin, he wouldn't know what the hell
happened."
Trump
said this individual "came out of nowhere" and had done work with Trump
in the past. "He made deals with me. 'Will you help me with this? Would
you make this deal and solve the problem?' I solved the problem," Trump
said.
His campaign did not respond to a request asking to clarify who Trump was talking about.
Several
speakers this week have gone after Trump in Philadelphia, including
Michael Bloomberg. The former New York City mayor made a surprise
endorsement over the weekend for Hillary Clinton, and described Trump in
his DNC speech Wednesday night as a "dangerous demagogue."
Democratic
vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine also targeted Trump, mocking the
businessman's tendency to accentuate his promises with a plea of
"believe me."
"He said a lot of
things about me, I never met the guy," Trump said. "I mean the things
that were said about me. I mean, should I go through some of the names?"
Trump
recalled telling a friend this week that he wanted to retaliate against
the people who slammed him at the convention, mentioning current New
York City Mayor Bill de Blasio by name.
"I
was going to say that de Blasio is the worst mayor in the history of
the city, but I didn't say it," Trump said to laughs. "He's a terrible
mayor. I was going to say that, but now I won't say it."
Trump
said his friend, who he labeled a "very great governor," urged him to
stay focused on attacking Clinton, not other Democrats.
"He
said, 'Don't hit there. Don't hit down. You have one person to beat.
It's Hillary Rodham Clinton,'" Trump recalled, adding that he initially
objected to the advice. "I said, 'But I really want to. I don't like
what they're saying because a lot of it is lies. Not all of it but a lot
of it is.' I said, 'I just really ... it makes me feel good.' "
Ultimately, he said, he conceded and decided not to launch into verbal assaults against the Democrats.
"But
every once in a while I still wake up, I say 'boy, I wanna,'" Trump
said, growling as he stopped himself from saying more. "Someday!"
