Trump pointed to Biden and Harris’ past comments casting Trump as a “threat to democracy,” while telling Americans they are “unity” leaders.

“They are the opposite,” Trump said. “These are people that want to destroy our country.”

The lack of self-awareness is amazing.

Yea this is getting dangerous. We need to put him somewhere safe. Like really safe. Maybe like concrete walls so bullets can't get through, and barred windows to prevent would-be assassins from getting in. Have like multiple points of entry under lock and key, with armed guards all over.

Wall off the entire area too - big tall concrete walls. And barbed wire on top. No one's getting through that! Ooh and some towers around good vantage points with spotlights and snipers.

We really can't be too careful.

Does anyone know a place like that where Trump might belong?

At this point I don't care if he takes one to the dome. His followers are going g to be violent regardless it's better it happe lns with a Democrat in office

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

I sincerely don't want him to get shot at any time before the election but it doesn't make me feel bad to know that he knows there are people who want to shoot at him, especially republicans who want to shoot at him

The projection thing is getting tiresome.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Aw, did the mean ol' libruls shed light on your fascist tendencies? I dunno, man. Guess it sucks to suck.

Trump and stochastic terrorism, name a better couple!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Their "rhetoric" is keeping him from being hit as only his disaffected dipshit disciples are dumb enough to take the potshot to begin with. Anyone else with any skill at all would not have made their mistakes

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

Love the Wololo.

They're his people.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Oh absolutely.

Guys. Stop. Saying anything about him okay.

Let's create a safe space and protect the guy who is open to Nazis,bigots and previously protected gun freaks

Seriously, all this is like digging a hole on the beach and then injuring yourself when you fall in.. and then blaming the lifeguards..

Then after getting help, start digging more holes

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago

Of course he never takes responsibility for his endless words of hate and fear.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I wonder what's causing him to be delusional.

That's called a taste of your own medicine Donald. This is how you make the Haitian community in Springfield feel.

Considering the Klan is recruiting there now...

Does he think the attempts will stop if he wins? Because plenty of people will still hate him or want to become famous or be mentally ill. If anything, the hate might ratchet up.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

No sir, people just find you disgusting and plain old don't like you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I saw a picture of the sniper and thought: That's Roger Wilco!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I mean, Sniper #2 supported Trump in his first run, and just got ticked off about Trump not saying that he'd support Ukraine adequately. I don't think that that's something that one can really attach to Biden and Harris.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

The problem is youre not supposed to think about it rationally and you have now shown more critical thinking than the cultists

[–] [email protected] 76 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

He claims their rhetoric is making him look like the next Hitler who should be shot before he reaches power.

He doesn't need anyone's rhetoric to make it look that way. His own words and actions do it pretty well.

And also fuck this guy. He has been constantly and blatantly calling out for, encouraging and defending political violence against his opponents. He's only upset that he's on the receiving end of it this time. VOTE HIM OUT.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 months ago (5 children)

His own words and actions do it pretty well

Yup! It's like he's envisioning the prelude to the Holocaust and wanting to bring it into the modern day. This is from earlier today on his dumpster fire of a site:

Trump's rhetoric making Trump seem like the next Hitler

CRIMINALS...IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump#Investigations,_criminal_indictments_and_convictions,_civil_lawsuits

Trump is the only U.S. president or former president to be convicted of a crime and the first major-party candidate to run for president after a felony conviction.[637] He faces numerous criminal charges and civil cases.[638][639]

Um.

Where is he suggesting we deport the two white Americans who tried to kill him?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Didn't you read it? To their "counties of origin." Oh, excuse me: "TO THEIR COUNTIES OF ORIGIN."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Oh shit didn't realize he was from a different county

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Odd that you can see exactly in that tweet where his staffer stopped writing and handed the phone over to Donnie.

Democrats are saying things about me that cause republicans to shoot at me!

"Oh, it's not THEIR rhetoric..."

Here we see the Malignant Narcissus employing the famous "I know you are but what am I" defense. Let's see if the Magats continue to believe his lies.

Ron Howard: They did.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 4 months ago

Remember when all the Republicans were making jokes about the guy breaking into Pelosi's house and attacking her husband with a hammer?

They encourage political violence because they know it generally benefits them and then act outraged when it bites one of them.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Sure Donny. Their rhetoric is of violence and intolerance for their fellow man. Right.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Agreed! Even though Republicans keep calling for the Execution and Assassination of Political Leaders its the DEMOCRATS who are causing Division!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago

Trump, who completely lacks any ability to self-reflect, of course passes the blame on to someone else.
