Have You Listened Lately to What Trump Is Saying?

  1. >“We pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical-left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country—that lie and steal and cheat on elections,” Trump said

    I sincerely do not believe he plans to root out the fascists, on the contrary

  2. > “… that lie and steal and cheat on elections. They’ll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American dream. The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within. Our threat is from within.”

    Accurate, just not the right target.

    If it weren’t for projection, they’d have literally nothing to say at all.

  3. I’d like to never have to listen to that ass hat again. But the media keeps telling us everything he does to keep him relevant. Give them those clicks

  4. Did he say something different than usual, if not, I have not listened.

  5. Trump actually is a traitor, and we only want him imprisoned after due process. That’s the difference.

  6. Trump is the poorest example of a human being in all of history. He has absolutely no positive personality traits. None.

    Those in his cult are sick, weak, and angry little people.

  7. I cannot stand to hear his voice and so I have not. I read about it, but actually listening to him is like nails on a chalkboard.

  8. ‘Lately’ being the operative word. His fiery rhetoric has always been directed towards his followers. The main difference between his past statements, and the ones he’s making now are they have become even more extreme. And, just like drug addicts, his followers need stronger and stronger doses to maintain the ‘high’.

  9. Has it changed from Hitler shit?

    Man’s been Nazi posting since 2016

  10. I’ve heard enough to know that he’s a disgusting person who sows vile ideas and profits through political division, and that the entire planet would be better off without him. Anything else I hear will only confirm this assessment.

  11. No, sorry I haven’t. I genuinely can’t stand the way he talks, regardless of politics. His stream of consciousness gobbledygook drives me insane.

  12. They are already vetting for loyalty thousands to replace all the “deep stare” jobs when he purges the govt. They’ll be ready on day one. No guardrails this time. Mass deportation, concentration camps, government Media only. Like Hungary, Russia, North Korea and China? Vote for the mad man if you want a dictator. Believe what he and his backers are saying.

  13. I physically cannot listen to him speak.

    I have read some transcriptions. He’s a vicious fascist.

  14. The problem is the MSM will do a collective shrug and then say “But Biden’s age?!?!?”

  15. This fucking asshole still has a decent shot at being president again. Vote as if your life depends upon it.

  16. I can’t stand hearing him “talk”. He rambles like the bumbling idiot he is and his audience laps it up. To think he’s competitive in a fucking presidential race and even won once is beyond rational thought.

  17. We’ve known he was a fascist before 2016. He’s just more desperate now so he’s letting it all hang out. But the evidence was clear as day in 2015.

  18. I am a little worried that I might be a radical-left thug.

  19. It’s hard, because he’ll ramble for hours, without a single god damned parseable complete sentence.

  20. Cheeto doesn’t talk or communicate. It’s not conscious transition from concept to expressed words.

    The Orange Gorilla runs verbal algorithm he doesn’t even understand — a string of grunts and dog whistles that are intended not to relay ideas, but merely to generate and unleash anger. Something like Orwell’s *Two Minutes Hate.* Like an elevator button, he doesn’t know how it works — only that it does, so he pushes it a lot.

    Anger leads to clicks and shares, it leads to ad revenue, it leads to “political” donations.

    Cheeto is a master at transforming the anger of dim-wits into his own pocket money. The ultimate bum. He targets those who yearn for simple solutions.

  21. Why can’t our media do their jobs and report on rising fascism in America? They persist in treating Trump as though he is a normal politician, ignoring his open contempt for democracy and pretending not to know his campaign for a second term will END America as we know it.

  22. This article neglects that the increasingly dangerous rhetoric Trump is using is designed to create the permission structure necessary for the violence that will be needed to maintain Republican political power because the ideas Republicans are for (end to abortion, unlimited gun rights, extreme gerrymandered congressional districts, concentration camps, use of military forces to eliminate peaceful assembly and enforce policies) are increasingly extreme and unpopular. Republicans will need to mobilize their base to violence and intimidation in order to maintain power because they know they will not win enough elected offices where people can fairly and easily vote.

  23. Been saying it for awhile now but:

    Americans seem to have forgotten how fucking insane Trump was, and they haven’t paid attention to him enough to realize that’s he’s gotten *considerably more insane*. Not to mention, his mental ability is seemingly declining at a rapid rate, but most people aren’t watching his rallies, listening to his speeches, or reading his social media posts…so they continue to remember the Trump from almost a decade ago.

    The Media isn’t fairly reporting on Trump right now. They are shielding people from Trump’s utter insanity, while also talking him up as a candidate. I believe that once campaign season really starts to get into full swing, A LOT of people are going to remember exactly why we had to vote this fuck face out of office.
