Trump pointed to Biden and Harris’ past comments casting Trump as a “threat to democracy,” while telling Americans they are “unity” leaders.

“They are the opposite,” Trump said. “These are people that want to destroy our country.”

The lack of self-awareness is amazing.

He claims their rhetoric is making him look like the next Hitler who should be shot before he reaches power.

He doesn't need anyone's rhetoric to make it look that way. His own words and actions do it pretty well.

And also fuck this guy. He has been constantly and blatantly calling out for, encouraging and defending political violence against his opponents. He's only upset that he's on the receiving end of it this time. VOTE HIM OUT.

Yup! It's like he's envisioning the prelude to the Holocaust and wanting to bring it into the modern day. This is from earlier today on his dumpster fire of a site:

Trump's rhetoric making Trump seem like the next Hitler

CRIMINALS...IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump#Investigations,_criminal_indictments_and_convictions,_civil_lawsuits

Trump is the only U.S. president or former president to be convicted of a crime and the first major-party candidate to run for president after a felony conviction.[637] He faces numerous criminal charges and civil cases.[638][639]

Um.

Imagine the logistics of this "immediate" operation, too. By his own estimation, it's like 20 million people. These folks are to be, first and foremost, "IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS" and once that is done they would presumably be somehow sent off whence they came or whatever. But that first part is a real sticky thing. How are you going to immediately remove 20 million people from the cities and towns they are in? Where will you be taking them? Are you envisioning some sort of camp, or something similar, where you could sort of round them all up, or concentrate them, so to speak? Perhaps several of these camps will be needed, I suppose, just logistically. But how will he propose getting them there? Our trains have been derailing and shit, we need money to fix them first, don't we? Maybe that's not an issue for him, who knows.

There is an ugliness built into his lexicon that reeks of holocaustic intent and it's been slipping out more frequently it feels like.

Odd that you can see exactly in that tweet where his staffer stopped writing and handed the phone over to Donnie.

Where is he suggesting we deport the two white Americans who tried to kill him?

Didn't you read it? To their "counties of origin." Oh, excuse me: "TO THEIR COUNTIES OF ORIGIN."

TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, AND MENTALLY INSANE, IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS

Oh, Donny you stupid chucklefuck. In the span of a month two different supporters of yours tried to do just that with a bullet to the worst offender of all three. Maybe it's time to shut the fuck up cuz it sounds like they're just as sick of your shit as the rest of the world.

That's some NSDAP type of talking right there.
