Trump blasts President Obama for.... mass deportations. Yep. That makes sense

[cali]

Insane fuckwad or senile, it's nuts. Obviously a desperate bid to repair the damage he's done to prospective Latino support.


"President Obama has mass deported vast numbers of people — the most ever, and it's never reported. I think people are going to find that I have not only the best policies, but I will have the biggest heart of anybody," Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg Politics Saturday.

Pressed on whether he would issue mass deportations as he has called for in the past, Trump said: "No, I would not call it mass deportations."

"We are going to get rid of a lot of bad dudes who are here. That I can tell you," Trump said.

Throughout his campaign, Trump has promised to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexican border and deport all 11 million people living in the country illegally.

In November, shortly after he launched his presidential campaign, Trump said he would build a "deportation force" to ship those in the country illegally back to their home countries.

1. He probably realizes now he needs some Latino votes and many Latinos are very

upset about the mass deportations and detention centers. This has really grown under the Obama administration.

Too little too late donald!

[liberal N proud]

2. Trump molds the rhetoric to fit whoever he is attacking at that moment

[cali]

3. it just strikes me as nuts. He just strikes me as mentally unbalanced.

[liberal N proud]

4. He is mentally unbalanced

But it is an emperors new clothes situation, no one will stop him.

[cali]

5. I think he'll stop himself. At least I hope he will.

[Lancero]

7. In other words, he's evolving.

[liberal N proud]

16. Yeah, that's what it is.

[3catwoman3]

6. He has such a limited vocabulary.

"The best..."
"...biggest..."
"That I can tell you."
"You won't believe..."

10. I'm always suspicious of someone who uses too many adjectives...

guess it's my literary side. And, like you point out, all of his adjectives are completely non-specific. Great, wonderful, beautiful...all non-specific adjectives that trigger much different visions in any given individual's mind.

He's like the ultimate used car salesman.

[Bucky]

8. I think a LOT of people are ready to just eat that up

Yes, it's the worst sentences a random word generator could come up with. He's not speaking logic; he's speaking pure emotion

I think he's more capable of winning than you or I could imagine. This is a pretty dangerous year

[spanone]

9. and don wants to round up 12 million and send them over his wall....he's a clown

a dangerous clown

[Wounded Bear]

11. The usual. When Clinton does it, it's bad...

but when Trump does it, it will be the most humane mass deportation in history.

Right?

Having trouble keeping tabs on what his latest position is.

[joshcryer]

12. His inconsistent BS plays to far left radicals.

But the vast majority of the far left wouldn't vote for him if their lives depened on it. It's just his messaging team trying to win over far left Sanders "supporter." (These are the purists who would never vote for Clinton, but 99.9% won't vote for Trump, just saying.)

[cali]

13. I think you give him too much credit.

I maintain he's... befuddled, batshit crazy, nuts, senile, demented- whatever you want to call it.

[joshcryer]

14. He still has a team of idiots messaging the populist crap.

Which, of course, is fascism. Right wing populism is fascism. And there's an overlap between fascism and socialism (far right populism and far left populism). He's exploiting that. Similarly to how Brexit is defended by the far left because, somehow, possibly, it can lead to anti-globalism / anti-trade agreements. (How laughable that is, is for another post, of course. UKIP effectively neutered labor while creating a new boogieman that they can use for generations. And problems going forward are the fault of the 10% of immigrants in that country.)

[cali]

15. Yeah, but they can't keep him on script. Most undisciplined candidate ever.

Yes, there's overlap virtually everywhere in the political universe.

I honestly am not well enough informed on the brexit vote to parse it. I've gotten a lot out of reading the take of our brit posters.

[joshcryer]

17. Yeah, it's a disaster.

Completely agree they can't keep him on script. Donald is without a script. Dude is literally the worst candidate I've seen in my lifetime. I'm not saying we shouldn't take it seriously. I'm only saying I sleep soundly at night. Dude doesn't make me worried at all. I mean, it's unbelievable how utterly pathetic he is day by day. Worst candidate ever.

18. No wonder Alex Jones and his followers worship this guy.
