The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[epilogue]

the rhetoric of this administration is starting to scare the crap out of me

STARTING?????

It's increased over the last week, for sure.

Your fear or...?

[McParadigm]

The rhetoric of late has definitely reflected the increasing removal of tempering voices

[epilogue]

And that whole fable about boiling frogs.

[Jorge]

What's he been saying? I'll beat his ass

[epilogue]

He has a lot of passionate thoughts about judges and oringes.

And brown people aren’t people, they’re animals

Remember kids, it was Obama that separated kids from their parents at the border. Papa Trump saved them all and put the families back together.

And saved them from sound cancer from those damned windmills.

I'm going to have to call up more military. Our military, don’t forget, can’t act like a military would act. Because if they got a little rough, everybody would go crazy...they have all these horrible laws that the Democrats won't change.

[Norah]

He's literally trying to make the case for shooting them.

Look how happy Stephen Miller is right now.

I didn't even know Trump had a sister. I bet he thought she was a real piece of ass back in the day. If she wasn't his sister, maybe they would have dated?

If my last name was Craig, and I had a son, I don't think I'd name him Greg?. Greg? Craig.

If my last name was Craig, and I had a son, I don't think I'd name him Greg?. Greg? Craig.

How could you not?

they don't even rhyme

This is a good read

As you may have heard, President Trump openly fantasized about the prospect of U.S. troops unleashing violence on desperate migrants, many of whom are trying to exercise their legal right to seek refuge in the United States.

At a fundraiser in Texas late Wednesday, Trump seethed that our military is constrained from getting “a little rough” at the border, because “everybody would go crazy,” preventing it from acting the way it would “normally act,” or how “another military from another country would act.”

In saying these things, Trump previewed an important component of his reelection strategy.

We know this, because Trump basically has now told us so.

The New York Times reports that at the very same event, Trump declared that the current humanitarian crisis at the border will be a political winner for him against Democrats in the 2020 campaign.

You may recall that we heard the same boast in the lead-up to the 2018 elections. Top immigration adviser Stephen Miller crowed that “the fundamental political contrast” would pit Trump’s vision against the “open borders” Democratic Party, which, he said, was “completely marginalizing itself from the American voters.”

The arrival of asylum-seeking migrants was also central in 2018. House GOP incumbents across the country ran ads saturated in ugly and lurid demagoguery about them, and Republicans suffered their biggest House loss since Watergate. Even Republicans admitted Trump’s immigration focus helped cost them the suburbs.

The 2018 loss does not guarantee that this won’t work for Trump’s reelection. It’s possible Trump’s base will turn out for him in a way it didn’t for House Republicans, and that anti-immigrant demagoguery will boost that. But we can say for sure Trump does not acknowledge that this strategy cost his party in 2018, and thinks the worsening of the asylum crisis can only help him.

I've heard one or two Craig's say their name with a long a sound but that's it, otherwise it's a short e sound for both of them.
