"They were born to be criminals" Trump

"They were born to be criminals."

Jesus.

Trump is talking about Americans this way.

And let's be clear - he's talking about Black and brown people in Blue cities.

He wants to rule. Like a demented, overweight, pederast- loving Roman Emperor. Feeble minded but with enough power given him by morons (I'm talking to you, you 77,000,000 MAGA buttwipes) to wreck democracy and piss on the already frayed moral fabric of his nation.

He wants to rule. Wants his scrambled, mumbled words to be law, his whims and wishes to be followed, as if they were God's own commands, by degenerate drunks, like his hand-picked Sec'y of Defense, or by Swastikids like his Goebbels-wannabe Deputy Chief of Staff, Little Stevie with-the-punchable-face Miller.

He wants to rule, rule and scare people, and crush people, especially people who have, in one way or another, called him out for the Fat Pig that he is.

He should have been wearing his pointy white hat with the eyeholes.

And maybe "Make America White Again" across the front.

or a shirt with his mugshot on it.

Not sure why a man would say such a thing about his grandchildren, through, even if his favorite child did marry into a family of jailbirds.

Convicted on 34 counts, almost certainly guilty of, even though not indicted for, hundreds more offenses like fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering.

And Rape. And insurrection/sedition..... don't get me started.

Trump is the epitome of being "born to be a criminal." His grandfather was a criminal. His father was a criminal. He is raising his own children to be criminals. Shut the fuck up, Donnie.

All of his kids are born criminals from a crime family going back several generations. It's in their DNA.
