It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?
I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.
Whether he should or shouldnt be allowed to spend the Leadership PAC funds this way comes down to:
The FEC says it’s fine. If he took money from a Leadership PAC and used it to have a tremendous week at Disney World, it would be fine. Should it be? No. But The regulatory apparatus says it’s fine.
If you think I have this all wrong, Google things and post proof. I’ve provided a link, used the key words a curious person could use to see how this is playing out… I’ve googled your perspective. I do not find what you say.
I believe topics are being conflated. I’m clear that NY isn’t about PACs, he can use specific PAC funds for lawyers, and he does not have to pay every legal bill put forward.
NY trial is about a specific amount of money and related to his ability to do business in that state. The ruling will result in him losing money. He hopes to appeal.
He has other funding sources and the NY trial is (edit: NOT) locking up all of his money or money streams.
Negates your own argument with your own words which I find fun.
