The former president continued his campaign to denigrate people coming to the U.S. in search of a better life
Former president Donald Trump, who opened his 2016 campaign declaring undocumented immigrants “rapists,” took the dehumanization even further this weekend, saying some immigrants are “not people … these are animals.”
“I don’t know if you call them people. In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion,” Trump said at an Ohio rally on Saturday. “But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”
“These are bad — these are animals,” he added. “And we have to stop it.”
Putting aside his appallingly dehumanizing comments, I’m just surprised he thinks adding a 100% tariff to imported cars is a great idea. It’s clearly a thing that he believes will win some UAW backing… but it’s very obviously an incredibly stupid idea.
It would make enough money in the short term to cover his legal bills.
