It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.

    His business accounts in New York, which is his main state of operation, sure.

    He can accept money. He can use specific funds to pay lawyers.

    I need to see a citation for what your are saying. I asked a question and all you did was say it less wrong, but still no reference.

      It would be naive to assume there isn’t a federal investigation at this point.

      Sure, but he’s partially in trouble for soliciting money and not using it for that purpose. Similarly his legal team repeatedly complain about not getting paid.

      It’s fraud, his accounts are being investigated, this is public knowledge I need not prove to you because it is in fact common sense as well given the charges directly related to it.

        Still no citation?

        It’s not all fraud and it’s not all illegal. That’s effectively what you’re asserting not simply to me, but to everyone who reads.

        That means a quick Google of things to find the common sense article that says he has no means of support. Not less… You’re not asserting less. You’re saying or strongly implying none.
