Well, I finally did it. I looked at “Truth” Social. According to Political Wire, Trump Pledges to Root Out the ‘Vermin.’ I followed the link.
Technically, he just said we “live like vermin.”
This is from the Real Donald Trump, in it’s entirety, and if this goes beyond fair usage, frankly I’m not too worried about it.
In honor of our great Veterans on Veteran’s Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the Communists, Marxists, Fascists, and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our Country, lie, steal, and cheat on Elections, and will do anything possible, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America, and the American Dream. The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave, than the threat from within. Despite the hatred and anger of the Radical Left Lunatics who want to destroy our Country, we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
I think the court cases have Mr. Trump worried.
Update: Michael Gold writing in The New York Times has an article (probably behind a paywall) that makes clear that Trump’s words are not the result his solitary Saturday night rage at the keyboard, but from a “nearly two-hour Veterans Day address in Claremont, N.H.”
From the NYT:
Mr. Trump also repeated lies, falsehoods, exaggerations and half-truths that he has told routinely on a number of subjects, including on gas prices, U.S. energy independence, election fraud and the 2020 elections.
“I’m a very proud election denier,” Mr. Trump said.

And he complimented President Xi Jinping of China, of whom he said, “He’s like Central Casting. There’s nobody in Hollywood that can play the role of President Xi — the look, the strength, the voice.”
“The look, the strength, the voice.” Presumably Vlad has given his blessing to having an open relationship, so Trump can orally indulge his love of this Chinese autocrat now, too.
(Thank you, Michael Gold, for listening to Trump for two hours, so that I don’t have to, and for calling a lie a lie.)
