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.

        Until Congress votes to redeem his candidacy he’s ineligible. It takes the type of reading comprehension that public schools avoid teaching up to.

            Thank you for being a voice of reason here. seems too many are thinking with their hearts and not their heads. i appreciate that you don’t like the man but can still see the logic in the situation.

              Listen. I hate Trump.

              But, as of right now, there is NO legal ruling anywhere in the U.S., that has made him ineligible.

              You repeatedly saying so, doesn’t make it so.

                If you murder someone, have you broken the law? Yes (most likely) . Are you going to jail? Well only if they catch you, and prove it in court.

                People above are saying they believe he’s ineligible because of what he did. They’re not saying that all necessary procedures to actually decide and declare him ineligible has been completed. I.e, he should be ineligible based on what he’s done, but he hasn’t yet been made ineligible in practice.
