“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.
"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.
“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”
“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.
“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”
Watch Here:
Watch how this story disappears within a day. But the trolls will still be talking about Biden in the debate until next January.
Difference is, no republican cares if Trump is mentally fit to be president, nor will being mentally unfit cause him to lose the election.
Democrats and Biden on the other hand…
It gets old seeing the people with power continue to use it delicately so as not to upset people, while also not doing a goddamn thing about the opposition who FULLY abuses everything they can touch.
It’s always the same thing
One side speaks respectfully of the other
one side doesn’t push hardline questions and issues when they know can get the other side to say something that shoots themselves in the foot
One side tries to keep the peace
One side treats people with kiddie gloves
One side has reasonable policies and goals, or just simply doesn’t change bad ones
The other side however, is constantly spraying a firehose of bullshit all over everything at every opportunity by constantly sabotaging the entire country in order to “one up” some imaginary opponent, actively calling for persecution AND prosecution of anyone who doesn’t fit their cookie cutter mould (that they themselves don’t need to fit into), punishes anyone for trying to make the country better, and has no qualms with lying, cheating, sabotaging, straight up committing massive amounts of felonies, all for no better reason than the infantile desire to be in opposition of something that helps another person.
no republican cares if Trump is mentally fit to be president
This issue, in this case, isn’t mental fitness. Trump’s comments are right in line with what he was saying four, eight, and forty years ago.
He loves the idea of lynchings as a tool of criminal justice enforcement, particularly when the lynchings target the political underclass. He loves the idea of accusing entire populations of violent criminality, particularly when those communities don’t support his political goals. And he loves the spectacle of it all - the pomp and circumstance of the courts leveraged against his opponents, the “beautification” of a gentrified neighborhood, and the fixation on tourism as an end goal of any socio-economic renovation.
Republicans eat this shit up now, just like when they ate up Michael Bloomberg’s Disneyfication of downtown New York or the massive tourist traps that Nevada and Arizona and Florida has been turned into. Conservatives dream of living their lives in one big resort community, Donald Trump knows it, and this is his promise to do to DC what was done to so many other Reagan-Era cities and states.
To say he’s mentally unfit would imply he wasn’t vibing right along with the tens of millions of white nationalist suburbanites who think the whole country should be a country club that pampers them 24/7.
Why would it disappear? Everyone’s talking about it, more and more every day. The Internet is exploding with demands for trump to step down.
“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”
Man who flies exclusively on private jets complains about public air travel.
Trump must really think we’re all fucking idiots.
That’s because of his diminished cognitive capacity.
Bigly diminished. The best even.
Trump heard Joe Biden might have dementia so he went out and got even bigger dementia, the best dementia!
in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming
He suddenly remembered that he is against UHC.
“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers
Meanwhile in Russia:
(Among people who said death penalty should be unbanned) “As a punushment for what crimes do you find death penalty to be acceptable?”, multiple answers
Drugs / drug dealing: 3%
I can see what people are trying to do, but it doesn’t work. The right wing talking points about the less-right wing don’t work when flipped, because his followers don’t care. They lap it up.
They’re tootling around in mobility scooters covered with Trump flags and stickers. Their homes have been shrines to him since 2016. He could physically shit himself on stage and these people would still vote for him, no questions asked. Trump makes them feel good about their hatred they’ve been told is wrong for the last few decades. Their MAGA is an all-white suburb as far as the eye can see.
The only thing that will stop them is his death. A large chunk of the movement will die with him. Those followers don’t really seem to care for the republican party. That’s the only upside.
Fascism has the whole propaganda thing nailed down. It’s just too hard to get people excited about a mediocre amount of progressivism. The Nazis got this and have been the model for it ever since.
I honestly don’t know what the solution is.
“powerful” death sentence.
Well, yeah. Wouldn’t wanna get involved in one of those limp-wristed, rainbow colored LIBRUL executions, now would we?
This is why fumbling is such a bad argument. People aren’t listening to the overall message. They are just tone fucking each syllable now as the only problem between these two and that’s a real problem
The problem with Biden was he should step down for someone else and the concern of that is pivoting this late can be bad for dems.
But that doesn’t mean we start the same measurement on trump as the message he is conveying is horrible. It doesn’t compare.
When is he going to step aside for a more coherent Republican replacement? He is not fit for the office at such an age!
This will surely get the same 24/7 coverage for the next three weeks that Biden got for standing there being “low energy”, right?
Trump should also stop running for president.
I think I saw in another comment here on lemm.ee that biden should make it illegal for felons to be president (dont worry, its an official act!) and then biden resigns. I hope it happens. We need turn the country off and turn it back on again.
SCOTUS will just rule he can’t do that
“Trump is going to be a dictator, so Biden should become a dictator first!” lol
i don’t care how the good guys win
Something tells me he’s not going to include the Sacklers in this crusade against “drug dealers.”
And why didn’t he do this during
2020-20242016-2020? And don’t say because of Covid, because, according to him, “it was a hoax.”Edit: Yes, sorry, I meant to say 2016-2020.
2020-24?
Yeah, I think they meant 2016-2020.
Yup. 2016-2020. Thanks.
“It’s ok! Trump does it too!”
Biden’s cult really thinks this makes it better, don’t they?
deleted by creator
Not great for either
Well as long as you think both sides are the same and that makes it excusable.
Yes Biden’s Cult! The ones who support Biden to the Grave despite Biden selling our State Secrets to Enemies and having 34 Felonies and Raping Children with Jeffrey Epstein. Yes Biden’s Cult!
No, the ones who would rather he lose to Trump than admit they were wrong.
Trump’s plan is to do nothing more than inflict pain and death on people.
His plan is to do what Republicans have been doing since Coolidge and Democrats have been doing since Carter. More police, richer bankers, lower taxes, bigger prisons.
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying he should step down. Lots of people talking about how unfit he is for office.
Allow me to increment.
He should step down. Ideally into a pit of lava, but that’s just a stretch goal.
Maybe the Hawaiians could volunteer a volcano?
That sounds like a great way to piss off a god, which god would want DRUMF as a sacrifice?
Eris
Y’know what? Fair!
Lots of people talking about how unfit he is for office.
Sadly, these calls aren’t coming from within the party itself. The GOP is fully in lockstep with Trump, while the Dems are - once again - stabbing one another in the back as quickly as they can swing the knives.
We should really take a lesson from the '80s Republicans, who had absolutely no problem pursuing their agenda despite a President who literally had Alzheimer’s during his second term.
Second term Reagan was, famously, not great for Republican election prospects. They lost a full eight Senate seats in '86.
It’s almost like it’s impossible to represent everyone with only two political parties.
I’d say the deeper root of the problem is Congressional districts that encompass 600,000 residents each.
Capping the number of House Reps has turned the local political class into a gaggle of celebrity fundraisers and mega-bundlers.
How many people have actually met their Congressperson, much less a Senator?
Here’s hoping…
