Migrants are ‘Not People’ in his mind…..
And they are ‘invading the country’….
Continuing the Republica effort to beat down President Biden and Democratc’s on Immigration….
A ‘Bloodbath’ if people don’t elect him….(Was he he talking abouth Himself or Foreign Trade?)
Former president Donald Trump ratcheted up his dehumanizing rhetoric against immigrants Saturday by saying that some who are accused of crimes are “not people.”
“I don’t know if you call them people,” he said at a rally near Dayton, Ohio. “In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion. But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”…

Later in the rally, Trump warned it will be a “bloodbath for the country” if he is not elected. The comment came as he was promising to hike tariffs on foreign-made cars, and it was not clear exactly what Trump was referring to with his admonition.
“Now we’re going to put a 100 percent tariff on every single car that comes across [the] line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those guys — if I get elected,” he said. “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole. That’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”…

The Biden campaign characterized the comment as a promise of political violence.
“This is who Donald Trump is: a loser who gets beat by over 7 million votes and then instead of appealing to a wider mainstream audience doubles down on his threats of political violence,” spokesman James Singer said in a statement. “He wants another January 6, but the American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge….

Trump’s comments Saturday represent an escalation of his long-harsh language on the topic. Since beginning his 2016 campaign by calling Mexican immigrants “rapists,” Trump has made inflammatory attacks on migrants a theme of all of his campaigns. He accused immigrants in October of “poisoning the blood of our country” — a remark some likened to the “contamination of the blood” concept that Adolf Hitler laid out in “Mein Kampf.” Trump has rejected that comparison and has continued to use similar language.
He has also pledged to launch an unprecedented deportation effort if elected, pointing as inspiration to a 1954 program called “Operation Wetback” that used military-style tactics to remove Mexican immigrants from the country.
“Among my very first actions upon taking office will be to stop the invasion of our country,” Trump said Saturday…..

Trump claims support from Democratic voters: ‘There’s no hope with Biden’
“There must be an appeal because you ride down the streets of Florida, the streets of Alabama, and they have Trump signs all over the place,” Trump said. “They’re looking for hope. They want hope. There’s no hope with Biden. He’s a deadhead.”
The Biden campaign has struggled to raise voter enthusiasm, primarily appealing to voters by painting Trump as a danger to the country’s future.
“I think Democrats vote for me a lot more than you think,” Trump continued, predicting that as many as 10 to 12 percent of registered Democrats will back him.
“I have a theory. People in Beverly Hills vote for me, but they don’t talk about it,” Trump said. “A lot of people vote for me.”
