Donald Trump gave a rambling two-hour speech at a right-wing conference where he branded the U.S. a “third-world hellhole” under President Biden’s leadership. He falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged and investigations against him are an attempt to rig the 2024 election. He threatened to revoke funding from universities and pledged to revive the Muslim ban, mass deportations, and ending birthright citizenship. Several speakers at the conference made inflammatory claims about transgender people, calling transition healthcare “Mengele-like experimentation” and referring to trans people as “freaks” and "perverts.

    This is all coded language. When he says “thugs” he means black people. When he says “perverts” he means LGBTQ. This is straight up nazi rhetoric.

      But, its always in China town, or “China Flu”.

      I can’t imagine anything worse than working alongside him. Surely everyone who ever worked alongside him would be frustrated with him lying about everything to his managers

      While you’re right, my mind immediately couldn’t help but notice the irony that he used to run the place.

      And that he happens to preside over a criminal enterprise and be questionable in his morality.
