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.
Innocent until proven guilty. It’s important to remember that.
However, I’d argue the President of the United States should be held to a higher standard than merely “not convicted.”
Hasn’t he now said things in open court multiple times that would be taken as direct admissions coming from anyone else?
I’m civil court. I don’t think he’s testified in any criminal cases yet. Maybe I’m wrong.
Nice to meet you
