I don't see it that way, see the topic of MS13 being Trump's way of segueing into his usual "immigrants are bad" rhetoric.


Trump was talking to a sheriff and directly answering a question about MS 13

any media organization that said he called all immigrants "animals" simply lied - there is no way around it
Republicans sign checks on the front, democrats sign them on the back…True story!

We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in — and we’re stopping a lot of them — but we’re taking people out of the country. You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals. And we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before. And because of the weak laws, they come in fast, we get them, we release them, we get them again, we bring them out. It’s crazy.


Here is exactly what he said. While yes, it was in response to something a sheriff said with regards to MS13, there is nothing, not one thing, in that paragraph that indicates that TRUMP is only talking about MS13.

And given his well known tendency to talk in broad strokes about illegal immigrants in general being "bad", except maybe some are "good people", I'm not inclined to give him any benefit of the doubt.

He needs to either a) speak more clearly so people are certain of what he is saying, b) accept that he's going to be interpreted in the worst possible way because people now expect that of him, or c), which is the option I prefer, shut the hell up and stop running his freaking mouth.

MS-13 is the US politicians (mostly Trump) code word for Hispanics/illegals, much like "urban" or "ghetto" was political code for blacks in the 1980s.

Calling people (even very bad ones) animals is an attempt to dehumanize them and is often a precursor to genocide or ethnic cleansing.
Ever notice the only 2 people Trump refuses to speak ill of are Stormy Daniels and Vladimir Putin?

Quoting limited to 5 levels deep

Or do you think it was staged.... :oyvey

It’s not clear whom the president was referring to — whether he was simply picking up on Sheriff Mims’s reference to MS-13 gang members or referring to deportees more broadly. But he didn’t exactly bend over backward to specify that not all immigrants deported by this administration are “animals.”

Jeezus... Your TDS is rewiring your brain. The discussion was a clear reference to MS. Did you ask Reuters why they retracted the headline?
I don't see it that way, see the topic of MS13 being Trump's way of segueing into his usual "immigrants are bad" rhetoric.

When you're the President of the United States and you mean specifically MS13, you should say specifically MS13. Otherwise, you leave yourself open to interpretation.

He should have learned this fekking lesson by now, but he's too freaking stupid to get it.

Either you're a dumbass or a liar.

That's what he said - specifically.

Hunting MS-13 members should be a sport.

And that, right there, is what conservatives are attempting to do all the time. They speak in broad terms about a group, get called out about it by liberals. They then claim that they were talking about smaller subset of that group, one that is as vile as possible, and then attempt to call liberals out for defending the vile subset.
