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.
People are focused on the nonsense heās spouting and Iām reading the full article and notice the quoted 62 year old Kelly Carter-Currier who proclaims if the right person doesnāt win, then weāre looking at WW3. Why are you waiting for a democratic process to happen when youāre not willing to accept the results unless its what you want? To which, youāre going to have a war to get it? JUST START THE FUCKING WAR. Or you know, shut up and let the rest of us that are actually wanting a better America (world) for everyone and not its current form where corporations and billionaires āwinā while a majority of people work 3 jobs so they can afford to eat and sleep.
Because theyāre not going to start a war. Itās just chest beating from them. Shit has gotta get a lot lot worse for even the thought of a civil war to be seriously thought about. Weāre not even close to it, people are still fed, clothed, housed and they still have jobs and their TVās and entertainmentā¦no one is starting a war.
