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.”

    Anyone else suddenly reconsidering their position against assassination? Then again, that would probably just make him a martyr for all the nutjobs planning to vote for him. Maybe he’ll cut himself on a rusty nail and tetanus will do us a favor.

      I bet we are in for 30 years of “the spirit of Donald Trump said to me in prayer…” From politicians and just straight up denial of his death from his followers.
