DEPLORABLE: Iraq War Veteran talks about the violent attacks he's endured at "peaceful protests" for supporting Trump

Please share and comment if you think the protesters are the ones who are violent!

A lone Trump supporter discusses some of the horrible things he has endured just for showing up and supporting his president.

nbcnews.com reports: The sight of Dion Cini outside Trump Tower set off a wave of boos, expletives and snarling. Strangers screamed at him. They called him a racist, a bigot and an idiot. One woman said he was a "threat to democracy" and another followed him for blocks yelling "Shame! Shame! Shame!"

"You're on the wrong side of history!" a voice bellowed from the crowd as a young, rakish man thrust his middle finger just inches from Cini's face.

"Loser!" Cini not only expected this response when he showed up at an anti-Donald Trump rally on Monday afternoon — he was courting it.

"I'm a one-man protest rally for my president, Donald Trump," Cini, 48, said from beneath a pair of dark shades and a "Make America Great Again" visor, a huge, billowing blue flag with the name TRUMP emblazoned on it in his hand

"Most of the time, I don't have to say a word and this is what happens," he said.

Cini said he's an Iraq War veteran who lives just a couple blocks from Trump Tower and is a member of the Upper West Side Conservative Club.

He said he's showed up at all of the major anti-Trump protests in New York, and each time it's the same: He shows up and makes a quiet, yet dramatic entrance with his big Trump flag and watches the crowd get whipped into a frenzy as his flag whips in the wind.

"They really gave it to me a couple times," Cini said. "A couple guys punched and kicked me in Union Square. I was chased up the block once. But you know what? Give me liberty or give me death."
