Donald Trump’s campaign spokesman defended Trump using “vermin” to describe his enemies, while historians compared his language to Hitler, Mousselini.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump‘s campaign is defending the former president’s use of the word “vermin” to describe his opponents and detractors after receiving backlash for echoing a term used by brutal authoritarian dictators like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
“We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections,” Trump said in a Veterans Day speech on Saturday after using the term in a social media post earlier that same day.
Because if you have a capable, competent, smart, tough leader, Russia, China, North Korea, they’re not going to want to play with us.”
The speech prompted reactions from historians, including John Meacham, who said Monday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that Trump is “lifting” rhetoric from Mussolini and other historic fascists.
“On a weekend when most Americans were honoring our nation’s heroes, Donald Trump parroted the autocratic language of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini — two dictators many U.S. veterans gave their lives fighting,” Biden-Harris spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.
In a post to Truth Social on Monday, he wrote that those involved in the prosecution of his legal cases — namely Special Counsel Jack Smith, former special counsel prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco — “will end up in a Mental Institution by the time my next term as President is successfully completed.”

Well trump is a dump piece of shit! Now we’re both calling each other names!
The difference is that Trump has an (increasingly literal) army of thugs ready and raring to inflict violence on us “vermin,” and you don’t. Trump is not just “calling [people] names;” he’s making credible threats.
Anybody who tries to minimize this with false equivalences is either dangerously naive or spreading disinformation.
Hah. Somebody on Reddit called mine “the most uninformed comment I’ve ever seen” for drawing that comparison. I haven’t logged in over there since June 30th, otherwise I’d go back and rub their face in it. Oh, also, I hate being right about this one.
The “both sides” people would have less to bang on about if Biden weren’t such a poor candidate and the Democrats weren’t such a poor alternative. Trump is a dogshit sandwich and Biden is merely a rabbit shit sandwich. Undoubtedly, Biden will do less long term damage to Americans (Palestinians… probably more than Trump) but I think you should be holding out for a candidate and a Party that won’t make you any kind of shit.
The poster pointed out that you have nothing and just say “both sides” and your response is an empty analogy repeating your “both sides” stupidity. Lol
And your analogy is way off. Biden is dry toast made from wonder bread. It’s not very nutritious and if you eat it long enough you might develop some kind of health issues long down the road. If you eat a shit sandwich you could catch a disease that can kill you.
Wtf are you talking about. Biden has been crushing it despite a hostile Congress.
It literally is both sides in this case though. I mean fuck Trump and he has a long laundry list of other stuff to legitimately complain about him for, but Clinton had the whole “deplorables” thing. You guys were all cool with that and defended her. Now he Trump does basically the same thing and you wanna make it a big deal. Pick a rule and stick to it. Stop changing them depending on how much you like the person breaking them.
Don’t forget that Trump is also a rapist
Also don’t forget to mention it at every opportunity. The rapist Donald Trump must be called exactly that so people don’t forget we’re talking about a convicted rapist who for some reason is not a registered sex offender which, of course, doesn’t mean he’s any less of a rapist, which Donald Trump verifiably is.
He’s not a convicted rapist. It was a civil trial, not a criminal one. The trial decided that he did sexually assault E. Jean Carroll (but not legally rape, although the judge said it was rape despite the legal definition) but that resulted in a ruling for damages. The statute of limitations for a criminal trial had passed.
So he’s not a convicted rapist, but the judge at his civil trial involving rape said he was a rapist. But that’s why he isn’t a registered sex offender.
The problem is that calling it sexual assault doesn’t make it clear that he penetrated her with his penis without consent. The only reason it’s not “rape” is that it wasn’t a criminal trial.
A child rapist at that. Just look at all the evidence with him and epstein.
You know what, I haven’t looked into any connective evidence beyond him on a flight manifest going to Epstein’s island. What other evidence is there?
He’s in epstein’s black book. https://archive.org/details/jeffrey-epstein-39s-little-black-book-unredacted/mode/1up
He’s quoted saying he loves epstein. Great guy. Throws great parties with young women.
Photos of him with epstein at the parties.
Court case with him and epstein right before he ran for president, where they were defendants for raping 2 children. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-introduced-trump-14-ghislaine-maxwell-accuser-says-rcna7253
Of course they did would anyone expect different? He’s a fascist and knows he can get away with it. Backing down would be worse PR for him he isn’t trying to please the kind of people who take offense to dehumanizing minorities.
He knows exactly what he was doing, and he’s being rewarded with the attention he desired.
