Ex-president calls Hopkinsā cannibalistic Lecter ālate, greatā while condemning āpeople who are being released into our countryā
Donald Trump on Saturday praised fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter āas a wonderful manā before segueing into comments disparaging people who have immigrated into the US without permission.
The former presidentās remarks to political rally-goers in Wildwood, New Jersey, as he challenges Joe Bidenās re-election in November were a not-so-subtle rhetorical bridge exalting Anthony Hopkinsā cannibalistic Lecter in Silence of the Lambs as ālate [and] greatā while simultaneously condemning āpeople who are being released into our country that we donāt wantā.
Trump delivered his address to an estimated crowd of about 80,000 supporters under the shadow of the Great White roller coaster in a 1950s-kitsch seaside resort 90 miles (144.8km) south of Philadelphia.
The occasion served for Trump to renew his stated admiration for Lecter, as heās done before, after the actor Mads Mikkleson ā who previously portrayed Lecter in a television series ā once described Trump as āa fresh wind for some peopleā.
You know, usually if I try hard I can kinda figure out how his rambling stream of consciousness verbal diarrhea got from one point to another. This is justā¦nonsense.
Heās trying to say that the people coming into the country are dangerous criminals, but heās done the talking points so often by now that neither he nor his audience need the connective tissue between the ideas.
āOh, now heās doing the Hannibal Lecter bit? Yeah, screw illegals or whatever.ā
They have their own coded language at this point where as Trump slips more and more into dementia they still understand what their adoptive hate spewing neo-Nazi grandpa dictator is talking about.
āAnd then the blargabaghehhhhā¦ā
āExactly. Fuck the blargabaghehhhhā¦ā
Edit: I donāt think Iāll ever stop laughing when I see that clip, btw.
That seemed more like a drug orgasm then a brain fart
This is like when a band that has been doing a song for decades plays about thirty seconds of it and some of the best lyricsā¦a magamedley.
