Now he is telling Republicans to ignore the immigration problem until after the elections:  
“Republicans should stop wasting their time on Immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November. Dems are just playing games, have no intention of doing anything to solves this decades old problem. We can pass great legislation after the Red Wave!”

Right…it’s all the fault of the completely powerless minority party. I guess if he yells it long enough somebody may believe it.

That, and he thinks that it is o.k. to put the entire immigration disaster that he created(and the untold thousands of people he has screwed over) on hold for close to half a year until he gets enough Republicans in office to do…whatever.

Unfortunately, lots of people do believe it. Either that or they’re all Russian trolls claiming to believe it.

Trump is trying to take down the restaurant that gave Sarah Huckabee Sanders the boot:

So in short… He created an international confrontation with Rocket Man, then aggravated it, and finally sells out our allies and weakens our presence in the Pacific area, and then after he gets the nod of approval from Putin (the main one who stands to gain) he declares that he fixed a bad situation (that he created) and starts yelling “Winning”. With an “agreement” between him and Rocket Man that doesn’t say a fucking thing.

Suddenly it becomes clear why Trump prefers well done steaks with Ketchup. it’s to kill the microbes and cover up the taste of off meat.

Is Trump making threats of violence against Maxine Waters?  
“Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. **Be careful what you wish for Max**!”

Let alone the implicit racism.

He spelled IQ correctly? That’s pretty good for Trump.

Just for fun, let’s unpack this, and see how many awful things he can cram into one brief statement.

“an extraordinarily low IQ person”. Trump has no idea what Rep. Waters’ IQ is. And if he wanted to save characters, he could replace the phrase with “idiot” or “moron” and it would scan better.

“together with Nancy Pelosi” … how did she get dragged into this? (OK, I know why…)

“Democrat Party”. It’s Democrat **ic** Party. Republicans think they’re being cute when they do this, and they’ve been doing it for years. I have no idea why.

“She has just called for harm…” No she didn’t. She called for public shaming and ridicule. If you think that constitutes “harm” then you’re just big old snowflake, aren’t you.

“Make America Great Again movement” So it’s a _movement_, now? Not just a slogan that fits on a cap?

“Be careful what you wish for” I’m not sure what Rep. Waters “wished for”.

“Max”. Oh, they’re on a nickname basis, now?

He was calling it a movement before the election. I’m on my phone at work right now so no cite but I think I can find one when I get home where I talked about it on the SDMB back then.

Yes, he was putting a target on Waters’ back. He says “she has just called for harm” (false) and then “be careful what you wish for.”

I can’t see how that could be any clearer. He was calling in a hit on her.

I don’t applaud her call to heckle and shout at people, by the way. But Trump, here, has skirted awfully close to committing an actual crime.

His attacks on Waters is also his way of characterizing his opposition as the enemy, and as lawless radicals who support invading hordes. This is the rhetoric of Hitler. This is the rhetoric of Erdogan, of Putin, of…name any authoritarian. We are experiencing a full-on authoritarian assault on our democracy. It doesn’t get any clearer.
