“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.
"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.
“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”
“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.
“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”

Man who flies exclusively on private jets complains about public air travel.
I think I saw in another comment here on lemm.ee that biden should make it illegal for felons to be president (dont worry, its an official act!) and then biden resigns. I hope it happens. We need turn the country off and turn it back on again.

Uhhh why you no do that during your first term? It's not like DC has suddenly become shitty in the last four years.
He can't even stay on topic because the issue at hand doesn't impact him. In his mind airports are the biggest issue to the American voter because he is dealing with it constantly while campaigning.
And that's ignoring the rhetoric. It would be funny if this wasn't the existential threat it was.
The only thing standing in the way of this sundowning narcissist fascist is a sundowning hubristic imperialist. At least he will try his best. 😮💨
This is why fumbling is such a bad argument. People aren’t listening to the overall message. They are just tone fucking each syllable now as the only problem between these two and that’s a real problem
The problem with Biden was he should step down for someone else and the concern of that is pivoting this late can be bad for dems.
But that doesn’t mean we start the same measurement on trump as the message he is conveying is horrible. It doesn’t compare.
Americans have a double-standard. If you profess to be a real politician, stand-up person, and trying to do good you have to appear strong, smart and effective. If you profess to be a fascist and want to hurt other people you can literally do anything and appear to be the dumbest, foulest, most incompetent piece of filth in existence and you won't lose any support.
I can see what people are trying to do, but it doesn't work. The right wing talking points about the less-right wing don't work when flipped, because his followers don't care. They lap it up.
They're tootling around in mobility scooters covered with Trump flags and stickers. Their homes have been shrines to him since 2016. He could physically shit himself on stage and these people would still vote for him, no questions asked. Trump makes them feel good about their hatred they've been told is wrong for the last few decades. Their MAGA is an all-white suburb as far as the eye can see.
The only thing that will stop them is his death. A large chunk of the movement will die with him. Those followers don't really seem to care for the republican party. That's the only upside.
Fascism has the whole propaganda thing nailed down. It's just too hard to get people excited about a mediocre amount of progressivism. The Nazis got this and have been the model for it ever since.
For comparison, this is how Trump used to talk, back in the 2016 RNC debate.
He's always been an obnoxious and crass New Yorker, never what you'd call an intellectual or academic. But he used to stay on topic, finish sentences, make coherent points, and generally function. Now he's reduced to somehow shouting and mumbling at the same time, confusing names and years, connecting vague concepts together until he gets applause from the audience.
I know I'm gonna get downvoted to hell on Lemmy but it was just a normal speech fumble like everyone has, it was a bit weird that he changed subject like that but overall I wouldn't say "Fumbles Repeatedly in Terrifying Speech", this news to me seems petty and comes of smelling of desperation.

He suddenly remembered that he is against UHC.

Meanwhile in Russia:
(Among people who said death penalty should be unbanned) "As a punushment for what crimes do you find death penalty to be acceptable?", multiple answers
Zomfg the airlines are poorly run. Great! Let's regulate them again. Bring back the 70s. MAGA by regulating those mega corporations, busting those monopolies.
