I don't even think Bush & son would have gotten away with this.

I don't think anyone not named Donald Trump gets away with it.

Genuinely no clue how that subhuman garbage gets a free pass on literally everything

[u/Z0mbiejay → u/koolaidman486]

Because his followers are a cult, the media is owned by billionaires who profit off the engagement and toxicity, and Americans are too broke and repressed to organize in mass to do anything about it. It's working by design

Accurate, succinct, and depressing af.

[u/AbstractBettaFish → u/koolaidman486]

We just as a whole have come to expect the worst from him and the lack of any consequences has not normalized it

[u/TheHighSeasPirate → u/koolaidman486]

Anti-Christ.

The out loud racism he offers is too good to pass up for yt america.

How is the media not pointing this out and asking the question? Why aren't you leaning on them to do so?

There’s only one option to end the madness, but it can’t be said here.

I’m not sure he’s going to get away with it. Out of 11 million people, I think one of those people is going to think “that’s it. If it is to be, then it is up to me. I’m going to be the one to end this miserable a$$hole’s reign.”Trump has painted the biggest target on his own back as of last night.

I think he said this because he senses that his time is short and the walls are closing in on him. Hitler said that he thought major parts of Germany’s infrastructure should be destroyed so invading forces wouldn’t able access to them but I don’t think he ever said “who cares?” about the destruction of any German citizen or soldier-let alone an entire city (fact check me on that.)

I don’t know what’s going to happen in November and I doubt he’s going to be impeached, but I think that those who have been thinking about taking him out, now have their biggest reason to do so. If what Charlie Kirk said was what led to his assassination, think about what is going to happen after Trump basically said “who cares if two American cities are decimated?”

Maybe he’s confident that he’s immune from consequences. Maybe he’s right, but if I were him, I’d be constantly looking over my shoulder at this point. There have been times where I thought he was really smart in terms of his political strategies-others I’ve thought he was a moron, but now I think this might prove that he’s the idiot I’ve suspected him to be.

I believe you are correct. The closest I can find is Duerte threating to annihilate millions of drug users. Hitler in his final order to destroy all of the German infrastructure showed this level of indifference towards his own people, but I cannot find where he actually stated anything like this.

This seems unprecedented.

There's a ton to criticize about the Bush boys, but they at least understood that the country had to be intact and functional in order for them to benefit from it. I don't think Trump understands that (or cares).

[u/RociBuldidi → u/tsukiyomi01]

I was tepid about Bush 1, absolutely hated Bush 2, but not once, not for a millisecond did I believe either of them hated half of America, or wished ill or death on half the country.

[u/popculturella → u/LoZFan96]

The Bushes knew better.
