.... and the dumbest part of that statement is that America has completely normalized it.
He says dumb things, America doesn't take it seriously, he acts on whatever dumb thing he says, America shrugs their shoulders, he goes on to say even dumber things.
Trump is only half the problem in all this.
Trump's public statements during his first term were found to be "false or misleading" on average 60% of the time. If you tried to take everything he says seriously, you'd die of exhaustion. Merely taking him at his word is not any kind of solution.
But if you interpret all the jokes as "things he wants to do"? Probably pretty good odds
He lies a lot, true. But he always tells the truth when he's talking about his plans to fuck over this country for his own benefit.
The mind blowing thing is that if, in any other job in America, a majority of things out of someone's mouth were all about their plans to do highly illegal things that would hurt people, they'd have been hauled off long ago and "It was just a joke, bro!" wouldn't be a valid defense.
This clown from hell jokes about harming and killing people every day, and follows through with it.
He jokes about breaking fundamental laws every day, and follows through with it.
It's such a major flaw in our system that there's seemingly no way to haul him away for repeated failures and egregious criminal harms to the entire country.
Erm, cops fit that description.
