Trump compares migrants to Hannibal Lecter in 'The Silence of the Lambs'

Former President Donald Trump compared migrants Monday to the character Hannibal Lecter in the film "The Silence of the Lambs" as he ramped up anti-immigrant rhetoric that has become a mainstay of his campaign remarks.

"They’re rough people, in many cases from jails, prisons, from mental institutions, insane asylums," he said of migrants who enter the country unlawfully. "You know, insane asylums, that’s 'Silence of the Lambs' stuff."

“Hannibal Lecter, anybody know Hannibal Lecter?" he added to audience laughter during a lengthy interview with Right Side Broadcasting Network at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. "We don’t want ’em in this country.”

How many are IMMIGRANTS? Does he pay them less than non-immigrants?

Inquiring minds would like to know. Same with his other staff.
