the only problem is there is a border.
Such an uplifting message, in the true American spirit, and all that.
To be fair, the first settlers were dicks to everyone who followed them who were, in turn, dicks to everyone who followed them. Rinse and repeat. Hate of "the other" is a staple of American politics. We need to move past it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a speech in Grand Rapids, Mich., Mr. Trump, flanked by law enforcement officers, reiterated his baseless claim that other countries were sending “prisoners, murderers, drug dealers, mental patients and terrorists, the worst they have” to the United States.
Mr. Trump also used his speech, which lasted roughly 45 minutes, to defend his use of dehumanizing language to refer to immigrants accused of crimes.
Mr. Trump drew attention last month when, while discussing the U.S. auto industry, he predicted a “blood bath for the country” should he lose in November.
After critics accused him of stoking violence, Mr. Trump and his allies pointed back to Mr. Biden, insisting he was responsible for a “blood bath” because of his immigration policies.
Mr. Trump’s use of “blood bath” comes as his campaign appears to be trying to turn it into a catchphrase, essentially trolling his critics and shifting the focus to Mr. Biden.
But Mr. Trump’s remarks in Michigan demonstrated how the former president has tried to stoke fears around immigration and border security in the 2024 election, a tactic he used effectively in 2016.
The original article contains 381 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Let me guess, taken out of context? He mentioned migrants so of course one of them has to be a female on her menstrual cycle and everyone wading across the Rio Grande is essentially bathing in her blood. Honest mistake. Shame on you liberal media!
“I stand before you today to declare that Joe Biden’s border bloodbath — and that’s what it is, it’s a bloodbath,” Trump said in remarks from Grand Rapids.
Because even the article didn't give the exact quote.
God, if only Biden had the balls to massacre some threats on the border, like Texas
Make Hate and Fear Great Again
