Donald Trump called for shooting store robbers on Friday in a bleak speech to California Republicans –and warned “this country will die!” if Joe Biden remained president.
During the address to GOP members, Trump also railed that wealthy Beverly Hills residents smell because of water denials, and repeated election fraud lies, according to the Associated Press.
“We will immediately stop all of the pillaging and theft. Very simply: If you rob a store, you can fully expect to be shot as you are leaving that store,” Trump said, spurring applause. “Shot!”
The rhetoric is in keeping with Trump’s tough-on-crime mantra but signified a ramped up emphasis on punishment. Trump has previously pitched shooting migrants to keep them from entering the US. » | Victoria Bekiempis | Saturday, September 30, 2023
This man is quite, quite ridiculous! Yet he is said to be doing well in the opinion polls. This is totally incomprehensible to most people I know outside of the USA. So, I have one simple question. It is this: How can an intelligent, educated American vote for this man? Or isn’t there any correlation between education & intelligence and voting habits? – © Mark Alexander
