Trump Campaign Doubles Down: It’s Totally Fine That He Called His Enemies ‘Vermin’
Trump Campaign Doubles Down: It's Totally Fine That He Called His Enemies 'Vermin'
Donald Trump's campaign spokesman defended Trump using "vermin" to describe his enemies, while historians compared his language to Hitler, Mousselini.
Does this mean we can openly call trump a lying, raping, Nazi?
Does that mean we can openly call for the end of free speech for Nazis, or are you gonna tell me that Inam somehow "against freedom" and that they will preserve freedom when they gain power if we don't suppress theirs?
No no that's defamation, he's merely a lying and raping enthusiast of Nazi rhetoric and practice, he has never been a registered member of any National Socialist Party.
He knows exactly what he was doing, and he’s being rewarded with the attention he desired.
No no that's only the rule for us.
My fucking uncle, who is normally a really nice person, had in his retirement party a big poster of Trump with "If you cant respect the president then get out of America."
Now it's "fuck Biden." Rules for thee and not for me is the Republican way.
In other words: "We know where we are heading, no need to remind us!"
What an ugly motherfucker
Interesting that people only now realise that he's copying Hitler. MAGA already was a Nazi slogan.
My 80+ year old Grandma who lives in conservative land has been calling the Trump flags around 'Nazi flags' since 2016 ahah. The media constantly acts like this is all shocking instead of completely expected, I guess to justify their moniker of 'news'.
She's a smart woman it seems.
It was always pretty blatant with the rage against antifacists. Hitler loved to discredit the press by calling them liers as well and did make 'intellectuals' the enemy. I think 'woke' is just another word for it.
I'm so tired of this POS getting attention again. And I'm not even American. The amount of stress he causes me... Please let this end...
I completely agree. He like a toddler, maybe we just suck it up for 4 more years to give him what he wants and then he can disappear forever.
No! I don't agree with Biden's policy about Gaza and I want to punish him by pushing people not to vote for him or Trump. But it's so wrong when this buffoon comes into power again. So I'll bite my tongue and say the other party is worse. Even if that's NOT the way to vote and it really diminishes minorities and representation.
His fascism blew over to some/most European countries and that's soooo bad. I even read some posts in Belgium about putting Muslims in camps 'for their own safety' because this POC made it normal for all the basement racists to come out of hiding. Just no...
I just want him to die or disappear. Just vote him out so we can get back to real politics and what's really important instead of this shit show. After you vote him out, THEN put pressure on Biden/Democrats to do better. It will be too late for Gazan children that are dying and dead tough...
Don't even give this fucker a chance.
lol no
I completely agree. He like a toddler, maybe we just suck it up for 4 more years to give him what he wants and then he can disappear forever.
Lol, the new repub strategy, folks. "Just let the illiterate brats have what they want".
Of course they did would anyone expect different? He's a fascist and knows he can get away with it. Backing down would be worse PR for him he isn't trying to please the kind of people who take offense to dehumanizing minorities.
Well trump is a dump piece of shit! Now we’re both calling each other names!
The difference is that Trump has an (increasingly literal) army of thugs ready and raring to inflict violence on us "vermin," and you don't. Trump is not just "calling [people] names;" he's making credible threats.
Anybody who tries to minimize this with false equivalences is either dangerously naive or spreading disinformation.
It literally is both sides in this case though. I mean fuck Trump and he has a long laundry list of other stuff to legitimately complain about him for, but Clinton had the whole "deplorables" thing. You guys were all cool with that and defended her. Now he Trump does basically the same thing and you wanna make it a big deal. Pick a rule and stick to it. Stop changing them depending on how much you like the person breaking them.
The "both sides" people would have less to bang on about if Biden weren't such a poor candidate and the Democrats weren't such a poor alternative. Trump is a dogshit sandwich and Biden is merely a rabbit shit sandwich. Undoubtedly, Biden will do less long term damage to Americans (Palestinians... probably more than Trump) but I think you should be holding out for a candidate and a Party that won't make you any kind of shit.
Good lord, that thumbnail. Really captures the evil.
especially lately I havnt even seen a picture he doesn't look like a hateful angry maniac. how can someone like that be.considered for leadership. insane
Well, that's deplorable.
I know this is not really the point of the thought experiment, but I would like to point out that if time travel did exist, our current timeline as we have already experienced it, would be the result of time travel. Our timeline would in fact be, the best version that could be produced by such technology and/or we have particularly inept time travelers.
Time travel can only create branching timelines by changing the past without creating a paradox. So the time travellers who killed Hitler may have succeeded, just not in this timeline (if this timeline is even one where time travel will be invented one day).
*Will have had already happened.
The timeline still needs to run up to the point of time travel being invented. We could be in the first run.
If you could travel back in time would you have killed the 1996 Telecommunications Act?
Wow, straight to "And if I did, you deserved it."
We're on the fast track now, boys.

Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesperson, responded to the backlash by calling critics “snowflakes” and promising that “their existence will be crushed” by Trump. In a statement to The Washington Post, Cheung said: “Those who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes grasping for anything because they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”
Cheung later clarified to The Post that he meant to say their “sad, miserable existence” rather than their “entire existence.”
Oh, that's much better. Thanks for the clarification!
In all seriousness, though, it's never a good sign when the clarification of a candidate going Hitler is to double down on the Hitler. There are going to be scary times ahead if Trump is allowed anywhere near the White House again.
He did the same thing in 2016, clear use of what seemed to be at least Nazi adjacent propaganda, and he doubled down on it, got elected, are people still doubting he literally supports neo-Nazis?
It's weird. No one ever said "Bush Derangement Syndrome" or "Nixon Derangement Syndrome" or "Reagan Derangement Syndrome". And those guys really fucked around with the country. Maybe, if everyone seems to have "Trump Derangement Syndrome" there's a realllllllly good reason?
And we didn't even say that the right had "Obama Derangement Syndrome" even though they were clearly deranged by a black guy being in the Oval Office.
Heck, Obama has been out of office for almost 7 years now (this January) and the right STILL brings up Obama.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump‘s campaign is defending the former president’s use of the word “vermin” to describe his opponents and detractors after receiving backlash for echoing a term used by brutal authoritarian dictators like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
“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 in a Veterans Day speech on Saturday after using the term in a social media post earlier that same day.
Because if you have a capable, competent, smart, tough leader, Russia, China, North Korea, they’re not going to want to play with us.”
The speech prompted reactions from historians, including John Meacham, who said Monday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that Trump is “lifting” rhetoric from Mussolini and other historic fascists.
“On a weekend when most Americans were honoring our nation’s heroes, Donald Trump parroted the autocratic language of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini — two dictators many U.S. veterans gave their lives fighting,” Biden-Harris spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.
In a post to Truth Social on Monday, he wrote that those involved in the prosecution of his legal cases — namely Special Counsel Jack Smith, former special counsel prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco — “will end up in a Mental Institution by the time my next term as President is successfully completed.”
The original article contains 489 words, the summary contains 243 words. Saved 50%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
How does he even have a campaign? Who are these shit stains willing to work for him?
Because any way you spin it, he's popular and roughly half the country is happy with him.
It's so wild to me that the Trump experiment has gone on as long as it has. He's broken politics in this country. The GOP at least will never be the same. We let a rich yuppie real estate guy from New York city completely monopolize political power. As much as I can't stand the guy, I have to accept that almost half the country sees something else entirely. He speaks to something that people are desperate for in this country, Democrats would do well to figure out why that is instead of dismissing this guy like they have done.
That is because you defended free speech for Nazis and shot down any talk of reversing the Telecommunications Act or regulating their fascist talk shows. Way to preserve democracy there, folks
Hey guys you gotta defend free soeech rights for Nazis if you want to "preserve democracy" because if you dont then they might suppress your rights if they gain power....but they totally wont suppress your rights if you dont suppress theirs because they're a fair people
Well, I think Trump supporters are vermin, too. They're a bunch of hairy rat bastards that seem spend a lot of time in grain. If the shoe fits...
I'm sorry but Mousselini 😂😂😂
Delicious fascist 👌
Hopefully he never becomes Rapist-in-chief again if the US population has any cop on..
to be frank i really don't care about this
As an (USA) outsider, let's see if I get this right...
Trump said that "communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical-left thugs" live like vermin in USA. Then Biden compared him to Hitler.
And only Trump's language is the problem, not Biden's?
Are you serious?
Are you?
So as a non-American, what you're not seeing is that none of these words are ever applied correctly in the US. The "communists, marxists, fascists, and radical left" that Trump is talking about are all words he uses to describe anyone who disagrees with him.
For instance, those fighting for transgender rights are commonly labeled Marxist fascists by Trump and his supporters
One is comparing humans to animals because they don't like them, the other is comparing a human to another human because of their rhetoric.
Is Elmer Fudd a Nazi too then?
You know who else breathed air? HITLER. Y'all are Nazis now.
The fucking stupidity... Smh
Don't forget that Trump is also a rapist
Also don't forget to mention it at every opportunity. The rapist Donald Trump must be called exactly that so people don't forget we're talking about a convicted rapist who for some reason is not a registered sex offender which, of course, doesn't mean he's any less of a rapist, which Donald Trump verifiably is.
He's not a convicted rapist. It was a civil trial, not a criminal one. The trial decided that he did sexually assault E. Jean Carroll (but not legally rape, although the judge said it was rape despite the legal definition) but that resulted in a ruling for damages. The statute of limitations for a criminal trial had passed.
So he's not a convicted rapist, but the judge at his civil trial involving rape said he was a rapist. But that's why he isn't a registered sex offender.
A child rapist at that. Just look at all the evidence with him and epstein.
You know what, I haven't looked into any connective evidence beyond him on a flight manifest going to Epstein's island. What other evidence is there?
