"SNIP...........

“There’s less than a month left in the presidential election, which will not only shape Donald Trump’s political legacy and the nation’s trajectory, but also likely decide whether he’ll face multiple prison sentences. And as he makes his closing argument, Trump is planning to amp up his violent, fascist rhetoric all the way to Election Day,” Rolling Stone reports.

“In recent conversations with close allies, the former and perhaps future president has stressed that he can’t — as some advisers apparently would like him to — play it safe in these final weeks of campaigning.”

and we can see it in action everyday, w/ his stupid ass comments and remarks, and worse. And we want to deal w/ this POS everyday for the next four years? I don't think a lot of people are wanting this. We want normal, we want people in government who'll work for us, not themselves.

Let the loser go on and be the loser that he is, he's got tons of lawsuits, court cases, and other crap waiting to pound him into the ground.

TFG is going full NAZI.

Former President Donald Trump has ramped up his campaign rhetoric by taking it back to a terrifying time in global history — 1930s Germany, experts told Politico Saturday.

Trump's claims that migrants have "bad genes" and will "cut your throat" mimic the lies and feed on the prejudices that scholars say Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler exploited ahead of the Holocaust.

“What is so jarring to me is these are not just Nazi-like statements," said Robert Jones, founder of the Public Religion Research Institute. "These are actual Nazi sentiments.".....

Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a history professor at New York University, told Politico she believed this was just the next step of a process that began when Trump mounted his first presidential campaign nearly a decade ago.

“He’s been taking Americans and his followers on a journey since really 2015...instilling hatred in a group, and then escalating,” said Ben-Ghiat.

“Now [immigrants are] animals who are going to kill us or eat our pets or eat us,” she continued. “That’s how you get people to feel that whatever is done to them, as in mass deportation, rounding them up, putting them in camps, is OK.”
