And I suspect that trump isn’t the first candidate to have said that.
People don’t remember how batshit crazy US politics used to be…
Like, you know federal politicians used to duel and kill each other? There’s been multiple fights in official chambers. Not just punches, elected officials beating each other with metal canes and putting each other in the hospital.
Hell, we literally had a civil war already, and a war of independence.
People who think we’re living in unprecedented times, just are ignorant of precedence.
It sucks that our lifetime has to be interesting, but it’s what it is

On the other hand:
Name a president that lies as much as trump.
And I suspect that trump isn’t the first candidate to have said that.
