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 youve seen some of these stories about some of these animals.
They dont want to use guns because its too fast and its 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:
Were 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 dont 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 dont even want to think about it. I said, Youre 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 its 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.
