Donald Trump brands US a ‘third -world hellhole’ run by ‘perverts’ and ‘thugs’ - Beehaw

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.

Broken clocks…

It’s been a hell hole for decades now.

You’ve never lived anywhere else have you?

I’ve actually never lived in the US, but I have lived just across the northern border most of my life, and in multiple other countries over the years if that’s what you’re asking.

“The election will decide whether your generation will inherit a fascist country or a free country, “ Mr Trump told the right-wing activist conference.

He’s not wrong; he’s just not on the side he thinks he is.

that’s what both sides say! how am I to know which side is telling the truth?

edit: (there was an /s in there)

Just remember to apply opposite logic to anything republicans say, and it’s clearer.

/home/pineapplelover Jul 17, 2023

I mean he’s not wrong about US being a third world hellhole. Just not for the reasons he thinks

Pretty sure the best thing we can do w/ third-world assholes like him is ignore him. Don't talk about it, don't repost, don't engage w/ his supporters - just shutdown the conversation when his name is mentioned. Only reason he has a following is because of his supporters loving to get re-actions from people.

Don't give it to them.

Same thing online. Block and move on. Dont engage with the shit stirrers, leave them shouting into the void.

He’s accidentally correct, just not in the way he’s thinking

Heartbreaking: Guy who became president in 2016 uses the exact same tactic again in 2023

Weird he didn’t claim ownership…

Seems like I was just reading about Muslims being fans of the GOP. I get it, they both want religious theocracies, but it still makes me scratch my head. Politics are so stupid.

He announced his candidacy AFTER investigation was started, this is why special counsel was assigned (to remove any appearance of conflict of interest)

He was president for four years. He ran on making the place great again (?). Why didn’t he? Golf was more important?

kittenroar Jul 17, 2023

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.

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.

I imagine Donald’s political calculation looked pretty much the same as every Republican doing this.

“Hey, we have an election coming up and contributing constructively to literally anything is too hard. Instead, who can we crucify to satisfy the bloodlust of our base. Who’s good?”

“Hmmm, that’s a tough one. After all, we’re all just whiny little babies so we’d need someone who we can really all gang up on.”

“Very true. Let’s see…LGBTQ people?”

“Hah, good joke using the acronym, Donald. Your sarcasm is extremely funny!”

“I know, shut up. Also, stupid idea, assface. You see how many gay and lesbian people there are? Remember: I’m scared to even fire someone who literally is my employee to their face.”

“Oh, well…what about the TQ part?”

“Well, I don’t actually even know what that is. Trans? You mean chicks with dicks? Like that time I was in Russia with the-”

“Yeah, yeah. Hey, Dave Chappelle and the Harry Potter woman agree, and they are still making millions.”

“Oh. Right. Sure, yeah, whatever. Just make sure I’m as loud and stupid as usual.”

“Got it covered, boss.”
