 Trump’s incendiary ‘vermin’ remarks prompt backlash
by Brett Samuels - 11/14/23 6:00 AM ET

Former President Trump prompted backlash for comparing his political enemies to “vermin” who needed to be exposed, with critics drawing comparisons to dictators from decades ago.

Trump, in a Veterans Day speech in New Hampshire, pledged to “root out … the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country,” the latest in a growing line of increasingly incendiary comments about his political opponents heading into the 2024 election.

The former president warned the audience of supporters that “the threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous and grave than the threat from within. Our threat is from within. Because if you have a capable, competent, smart, tough leader, Russia, China, North Korea, they’re not going to want to play with us.”

Democrats and even some Republicans expressed alarm over Trump’s comments, equating them to the type of rhetoric used by dictators during World War II and suggesting it was a sign of how Trump would conduct himself if elected to a second term in the White House.

Trump is facing backlash over the language used on social media and in a speech marking Veterans Day in which he pledged to “root out” the “vermin” of the country.

“In honor of our great Veterans on Veteran’s Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our Country, lie, steal, and cheat on Elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America, and the American Dream,” Trump wrote in a post.

Trump should immediately apologize for what he said.  He should say something to the effect...
I understand enemy's have taken exception to my calling you vermin. I'm sorry. I apologize. I ask you to note that I did not call you villainous scumbag terrorist supporters, or low-born gutter sluts. But I did say "Vermin." No escaping that. And for that slip of the tongue, I apologize.

What appeals to MAGAs may not appeal to the public at large, which is probably the main reason they keep losing elections

Donald Trump is like the crazy uncle who always brings up his political views at every family gathering

Besides, this is the same president that made sure that so-called vermin was well funded to engage in electioneering

The MAGAs will never accept voter rejection at the ballot box; instead they will blame treachery (voter fraud, rigged elections) perpetrated by their enemies.

For Trump, replace "migrant" for "Jew".

Ehhhh, I don't necessarily disagree but it's not the time and place. He's uncouth, it's inappropriate and unpresidential. Reminds me of 2016-2020. I start liking him then he goes and opens his big mouth.

Besides, Trump has a history of donating to many of those vermin’s political campaigns
