Actually Trump in a backhanded way endorses this when as the article states.... 

Later in the Fayetteville rally on Wednesday, when another in a series of demonstrators was being led out, Mr. Trump himself lamented what he called “the good old days” when “this doesn’t happen.”“They used to treat them very, very rough, and when they protested once, they would not do it again so easily,” said Mr. Trump, who last month lamented that once upon a time, someone who acted up would be carried out “on a stretcher.”

The good news is the man has been formally charged with assault as he should have been.

There is absolutely no place for physical assaults!  The guy has been charged by the Sheriff's office.

From the article:
On Thursday, the police charged John McGraw, 78, of Linden, N.C., with assault and battery and disorderly conduct. The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said it was also preparing to charge Mr. McGraw with communicating a threat because of a video that later surfaced in which he expressed a desire to do additional harm to Mr. Jones.
 
 
Hope Hicks, a Trump campaign spokeswoman, called such incidents unfortunate but said the campaign had “no control” over its supporters’ behavior. She did note that the campaign plays a safety announcement before each event, instructing the crowd not to touch or harm protesters.
“We obviously discourage any kind of physical contact or engagement with protesters,” she said.
