In this morning's The Guardian, some excerpts from Rachel Leingang:
"Trump’s tone, as many have noted, is decidedly more vengeful this time around, as he seeks to reclaim the White House after a bruising loss that he insists was a steal. This alone is a cause for concern, foreshadowing what the Trump presidency redux could look like. But he’s also, quite frequently, rambling and incoherent, running off on tangents that would grab headlines for their oddness should any other candidate say them. [snip]
Watching a Trump speech in full better shows what it’s like inside his head: a smorgasbord of falsehoods, personal and professional vendettas, frequent comparisons to other famous people, a couple of handfuls of simple policy ideas, and a lot of non sequiturs that veer into barely intelligible stories. [snip]
You not only see the truly bizarre nature of his speeches when viewing them in full, but you see the sheer breadth of his menace and animus toward those who disagree with him.
His comments especially toward migrants have grown more dehumanizing. He has said they are 'poisoning the blood' of the US – a nod at Great Replacement Theory, the far-right conspiracy that the left is orchestrating migration to replace white people. Trump claimed the people coming in were 'prisoners, murderers, drug dealers, mental patients and terrorists, the worst they have'. He has repeatedly called migrants 'animals'”. (our emphasis)
Please read Leingang's entire article, in which she details the increasingly depraved words of the Malignant Loser, and the existential danger to our nation and our freedom that he represents.
