Trumpster Diving
The United States should “build a wall of steel, a wall as high as heaven” against immigrants. No, that wasn’t Donald Trump. It was what Georgia Gov. Clifford Walker told a Klan rally in 1924.
“Because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris.”—Liz Cheney.
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.”—Dick Cheney.
“Their (Democrats) rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country.”—Trump in a recent interview on Fox News.
BTW, in 2016 reported hate crimes jumped by 226% in counties that hosted Trump campaign rallies, a hellish harbinger of the Trump era.
Trump being shot at: Product of Secret Service negligence, Trump-fomented political violence–and karma.
JD Vance recently campaigned with Tucker Carlson. Carlson was a key advocate of Vance as Trump’s running mate.
“It is Team Misogyny with Trump.”—Former Virginia Republican Congresswoman Barbara Comstock.
“Child care is child care. … You have to have it.”—Donald Trump. Oh, and you have to increase tariffs to pay for it. But, no, higher tariffs don’t mean higher prices. Whatever.
Conspiracist and right-wing nut Laura Loomer seems like a good fit as a Trump inner-circle intimate. She’s even been labeled a racist by Marjorie Taylor Green–yes that MTG.
“I think you are better than Martin Luther King.”—How Trump referenced North Carolina’s controversial “black nazi” lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson.
Evangelical dystopia: “Christians warn us about the anti-Christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.”
Imagine, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. served as a Trump spin room representative at the debate. The same RFK Jr. who had referenced Trump as “unhinged,” “barely human” and “probably a sociopath.” Presumably, Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan weren’t available.
No, history will not absolve you. Too bad you won’t be around for the reckoning.
Grifter fundraising update: Trump has launched a collectible coin with his image for $100k. Steaks, sneakers, bibles, coins. What’s next for monetizing? Framed nude fashion photos of Melania?
