Donald Trump in Youngstown

Mike Cardew/Akron Beacon Journal/ZUMA Press

This is what it looks like when things are going badly for President Donald Trump......................... So, eager for adulation from his fans, Trump held a campaign rally in Youngstown, Ohio, Tuesday night. He tore a page straight out of the nativist cookbook:

The predators and criminal aliens who poison our communities with drugs and prey on innocent young people, these beautiful, beautiful innocent young people, will find no safe haven anywhere in our country. And you’ve seen some of these stories about some of these animals.


They don’t want to use guns because it’s too fast and it’s not painful enough.................


.........................................

Elsewhere in the speech, Trump boasted that the federal law enforcement officers carrying out his immigration raids were “not doing it in a politically correct fashion”:



We’re doing it rough. Our guys are rougher than their guys. I asked one of our great generals, “How tough are our people? How tough are they?” He said, “Sir, you don’t want to know about it.” Then I saw one guy come out, a customs officer who is a monster. I said, “So general, you think I could take that guy in a fight?” He said, “Mr. President, sir I don’t even want to think about it.” I said, “You’re right, actually.” We have tough people. Our people are tougher than their people. Our people are tougher and stronger and meaner and smarter than the gangs.


You could say it sounded better in the original German, but it’s a fully American construction. Detailed descriptions of horrific (but unspecified) crimes committed by non-white “animals” against young female victims have been a staple of nativist and white supremacist rhetoric for centuries....................................

very wet paper sack. He's a 'macho' only in his own imagination. I think he'd piss himself if anyone was ever able to physically confront him.
